Success Enterprise, Dealers In Success

As said by Marva Collins, “success doesn’t come to you, you go to it”. Success is not like a concert or a display which is brought to your door steps. An old saying taught that “if they are bringing the show to your house, you don’t need to go out to meet it” unfortunately; success is not one of those shows that trample its feet to people’s houses without an invitation. Even if you invite success, it will not pay you that visit until you do follow ups and carry it by your personal hands and brings it in.

Success relates and applies to different people in different ways and endeavours in life. For instance, the success of a newly married couple is to remain in unity, bring forth good children and celebrate marriage anniversaries later in life. Success to a student may be to pass that examination, make that mark in that special test and later come out with flying colours. Similarly, a market woman may define her success as evident when her sales bring profit as expected. Another area of success is to a Christian who looks forward to enjoying eternity not in agony, but in triumph. The reality of this goal of that Christian is evident by one day seeing himself among the elects of God after the end of the first heaven and the first earth and this is his success. It therefore means everyone has success stories to dream about and success songs to learn and sing since we all engage in daily chores that we must expect to bring success to us.

Success is not stolen. It is bought. It is not free, it has to be purchased and everything being purchased must be paid for. Payment for success is not based on installment. Full cash for full success. Now who sells success? Where can we get success to buy? And how much does it cost? Its obvious success could have its counterfeit and genius form. Beware where your success is bagged for you. It could either be too costly or counterfeit. Well if too costly, there is nothing wrong to worry about. However if it’s a white elephant, that is where disappointment lies.

Off, let’s embark on an expedition for success. Let’s roam the markets, supermarkets and the like to see if we can have the of success on sales there. Screening the stalls, stores, tents, shops etc., we will find success seeds at many of these spots, but let’s only select and purchase only  three (3), from the best three stores. These best stores where we can find success in potency are acronymised as A.R.S.

Ø  A. – ATTITUDE

Ø  R. – RESOLUTIONS

Ø  S. – SACRIFICE

ATTITUDE:
Attitude is defined as the opinions and feelings that you have about something and the way you behave towards someone or in a particular situation. Attitude is the spectacle you use to view an existing condition and approaching ones. Here, bad attitude makes you to be either shortsighted on one way or blind on the other way, therefore making you unable to focus either an impending situation or a current opportunity. Some examples of good attitude are hard work, appreciation, humility, divine desire, etc. The reverse side of these includes laziness, low self-esteem, inordinate desire, procrastination, excuses and many more. Now, behind the counter, there are other types of attitudes that are neither described as good nor bad. These are ugly attitudes and comprise envy, greed and hatred.

We are shopping, isn’t it? It therefore means, we may see the good, the bad and the ugly, but the last two are of no importance to our day long expedition. Remember, it’s not everything you need when shopping.  All said and done, good attitudes are being parceled for us to take home. What is left for us is to pay the price. Don’t forget we are paying the right amount, for the right quantity of the right product, in the right currency. To have your success seeds taken home legally, you must pay in the notes of the following three (3)currencies;

1.       COMMITMENT: According to Mario Andretic “desire is the key to motivation, but it is determination and commitment to an unrelenting pursuit of your goal; - a commitment to excellence, that will enable you to attain the success you seek”. Success ideations don’t not grow with you automatically, you need to graft them to yourself and let them be part of your reasoning faculty. Grafting success to be part of your daily thoughts will also cost much to pay. I believe you know the price, thus commitment and determination to attain the height for that success you pursue.

2.       CONFIDENCE: Low self-confidence is the first killer of confidence. This makes you unwilling and you may lose focus, direction and passion for your vision. Loss of passion on itself is a bad attitude. The main sources of low self-confidence include regrets from past failures, weakness of the mind, and fear of risk taking. All these create negative and illusive fences around business, academics, marital and even spiritual concepts. Do you really want to spread wings of success with which you will fly above others? Then you need to “see hope in the face of difficulties” as Barrack Obama said. And don’t forget successful people do what unsuccessful people don’t and can’t do. Be confident and you will rise above your limitations.

3.       CONSCIOUS AWARENESS: This is yet another currency for paying for success seeds. Consciousness is more of a light or a path finder that helps you to knowing where you are and where you are heading towards. It’s obvious you can’t go ahead without first knowing where you are and where you are heading towards. This principle applies in almost all areas of life. Bad attitudes may surface within certain times and unawareness which we can also refer to as unconsciousness is the main speaker in these trying moments. Self-awareness on the other way works around the clock to exchange generosity for greed, and love for hatred. It also divides passion into petty fragments that cannot stand united and the results are to redefine success as impossible.  Self-unawareness is more of a cancer that eats away the tissues of your good attitudes long before even before diagnosis are made. Know of your current status; assess your stance from time to time. Be conscious. Be your coach, directing and monitoring your daily movements with the voice from your divine maker.

Success is not freely handed out; it’s carried with stretched hands and paid for. Pay with courage, remember your convictions are the determinants of the lifespan of your attitudes and change is the necessary tool for resetting your lost success.

RESOLUTIONS:
We are still in the marketplace, yet another stall where we will need to purchase “resolutions” as success seeds as part of our success expedition. Resolutions are defined as commitments a person makes to one or more personal goals. It could be to transform a habit, to accomplish a goal or to attain any height of importance. It is the foundation of lifestyle change and is always predicted as advantageous. The main source of resolutions is the mind, the brain, the reasoning chamber, the gate of entry for all decisions. Resolutions are paid for as usual. A thought to take it without payment is stealing which is an ugly attitude and sin and hence have no room in the mansions of success. However after paying for this success seed, its reception is a bit ceremonial; with opening and closing ceremonies respectively. Simply put; “before you resolve new ways, you must dissolve the old skills”. Both the dissolution and the resolution must be involved in the plans of God.

Ø  DISOLVING: We open our ceremony at a point when a former ways of behaving; habits or goals are done away with as they become irrelevant to the explored success. Bad ways are given away, its darkness and light. They can’t co-habit. When light comes, darkness must flee.

Ø  INVOLVING: Who is involved in the resolution process of those ugly ways? God of course. It’s from Him, in Christ that we are being adopted to be called His sons and daughters.

Ø  RESOLVING: This is when you obtain the cheques that draw you to the bank where you once had a locked account. You can now withdraw your success by the help of new ideas. This is the closing ceremony that graduates you to distil your success. However while still at the counter, you need to pay duly with the following terms and  conditions as applied:

1.       Resistance of unprofitable opportunities: At the dissolution stage of your success deal, all tempting behaviours, especially those caused by bad attitudes must be avoided. Some things that appear as opportunities are real sins. It takes conscious awareness to identify these and re-align. It also takes endurance to resist a bad attitude and persistence to keep doing this continuously. When dissolving old ways for the new, you get these odd powers fighting back to take their former seats. It’s like coup d’état where there is tension in the system of opposition and the ruling. But with involvement of God and perseverance, your resolution are secured.

2.       Reading your value: As a self-life coach where you become a monitor to your own walks, beware of factors that may hinder good decisions and transform them for the better. It is like the work of a thermometer and that of a thermostat. Both can measure views, quantities and parameters, but it’s only the thermostat that can transform the state of a situation for the better. Thermometer measures it and there it ends.

3.       Redefining the size of your dream: Success is not obtained from the silver platter. It is bought and re-fashioned. At the point of dissolution, ideas to be given away were determinants of narrow success, so we will call that narrow dreams. But thanks be to God they were given away by involving him to resolve new ways whose size are wide and deep.

If at last you don’t succeed, blame it on your brain, not anything else. Resolution is started from your brain. With resolutions, you get up one day and say; “oh no, am not going to do that again!”. You say it and say it with passion and commitment. Your brain is responsible for posting warning letters of change to you and this you need to reply for your own betterment. You owe it to yourself to open those letters and comply with their provisions and suggestions. Do not blame it on anyone if you don’t succeed because, your brain is responsible for this since it’s here resolutions germinate.

SACRIFICE:
Sacrifice is yet another set of seeds of success in stock. What then is sacrifice and how can it be planted for it to germinate into seedlings? Sacrifice in this simple concept is to invest the little you have for a better achievement later. Take note, it’s like sowing and harvesting where the sowing period demands labour and the harvesting time brings humour. Sacrifice is an investment that pays more interest; however, the amount of interest paid is directly proportional to the amount of sacrificial seeds deposited initially. The most horrible factors that reverse the pace of an incoming success includes a life without prayer, a prayer without faith, faith without work and work without sacrifice. No one stood up and built a storey building overnight. This may occur, but only in night dreams where you sleep after a heavy meal and saw that a branded success was handed over to you in attractive parcels and you wake up to see its fallacy. Success does not find its way to you through idle gates. No. success is obtained through sacrifice, struggle and sometime suffering. Many types of sacrifice exist but the principal example is personal sacrifice which is exchange for with the following attributes;

Ø  Self discipline: It is not enough to just write you goals, visions and values down. Your inherent commitment to plans you made is the price you pay to get the objective criteria of those plans. Each and everyone, even the unsuccessful also have a volume of discipline. This account for the reason why a lazy student though lazy, cannot sleep 24 hour in a day. He or she will by every means wake up even if its midday to start his or her daily work. But a customer on the search for success must do more than an unconcerned idle citizen whose dreams about being fed with golden spoon by another person. Self-discipline suggests that you make plans and stick, committed to them or you have resolutions and you don’t go against them. You need to give away pleasure hour in quest of pursuing a divine desire in your directions; this takes sacrifice. Sometimes it feel bitter when keeping on track because as said earlier success is a warfare in which troops of abandoned attitudes still create the tension when they demonstrate for a comeback. Self-discipline turns them away.

Ø  Self-passion: Self passion is to say the zeal, or the enthusiasm with which a person yearns for that success in the search mirror. The higher the concentration, the higher you sacrifice. Self-passion makes you to say no to one thing at a time and yes to the other. Lack of passion or drive is termed apathy where the individual is melancholic and unwilling to play a part in his own success. “The difference between successful person and the other is not lack of strength, not lack of knowledge, but rather in lack of will”, says Vincent Lombardi. Apathetic people cannot do what passionate folks do. Once apathetic, your limitation is mediocrity, but passion is determination to ride beyond excellence. Self-involvement when passion arrives is the way of creating success by your own fingers. Have the passion for self-analysis. Don’t pretend to be the ultimate. Passion in its express form results in self-confidence, a molder of good attitude and self-confidence at work is termed, courage. Emotions, appetites and desires are powerful forces that can carry you far. In the presence of purposeful emotions and, healthy desires, courage is set in motion for success alongside self-discipline.

Ø  Service to mankind: Success unshared is failure. For this reason,   you owe it to yourself to have it in mind that a conviction to distribute in pieces the booty you have harvested is a sacrifice towards great successful attainments. Jim Rohn confirmed this when said “whoever renders service to many puts himself in line for greatness; great wealth, great return, great satisfaction, great reputation and great joy”. Service to mankind they say is service to God. The help offered by the spirit of greediness is just as disastrous as an unnoticed failure. The only way greediness can help you for success to be restored for you is to take its hands off your mind and introduce generosity to your door steps. Giving, they say is the proof that you have conquered greed. Sacrifice the little you have, don’t be a miser. Being a miser is a sacrifice of the wrong thing to get the right one and too often ends in loosing of both. Sacrifice your time, your money, your talents, your resources to get what you really want and you will never regret to have harvested a wonderful package of success. Cultivate the habit if thinking about others.

Back from our long expedition to purchase the raw materials to prepare success. We have in our shopping basket three distinct seeds to sow and reap what we are destined for and thus; ATTITUDE, RESOLUTIONS AND SACRIFICE; in short you can call them A.R.S. Before you go on ploughing the fertile land to plant these seed of success, still remember that success is not meant for a selected few despite it seems to be so. However it belongs to those who rise up to the awareness of their calling to fulfill what they were send for. These people have passion for what they pursue. You can also ride among the successful provided you are prepared to pay the cost.

You first turn the wheel of success inside you by your thoughts and the outcome will reflect on the outside. Remember again that successful people are ordinary people who:

1.       Have positive attitude towards their actions, directions and convictions

2.       Respect their own values, virtue and voluntary visions

3.       Have a burning passion to see their purposes realized

4.       See hope ahead in the face of every difficulty.

5.       Can believe in their resolutions even if they seem impossible

6.       Pursue excellence and reject the arguments of mediocrity

7.       Make constant efforts towards their perceptions

8.       Consciously are aware of their state through self-analysis

9.       Believe failure could be an opportunity to succeed better

10.   Maximize the size of the dreams they pursue

11.   Believe success is worked for from the inside to the outside.

Good luck and love you!
