The greatest enemy of success is the fear of failure some
people are afraid to purse their success because the believe the might fail and
so they don’t try to do something new
Secondary success is the potential destiny of all created
things. Every seed has a tree in it and the potential success of that tree is
in that seed and that is the way you are.
Whatever you were born to do and be is in you now and the
success of your life depends on you becoming all that is trapped in you.
The third thing about success that is important is to define
it.
What is success?
Here is a definition that is success is the completion and
fulfillment of the original intent or purpose for your existence or why you
were created,
Success is not making a lot of money success is not having a
big house, with care by a lake, success is not having a lot of friends and a
lot of accolades and a lot of plaques on the wall. Success is really very very
simple.
It’s you discovering your purpose and then completing it
before you die. In order words Success must be measured by why you were
created.
Success is therefore purpose fulfilled. Success is not
measured by what you have done compared to what others have done, this is very
important because some times, we compete with other people and because we do
better than them we think we are successful.
Success is not outwitting or outclassing other people you
can always find somebody less than you so you think you are successful
therefore success should not be measured by what you have done compared to what
you others have done then
How do you measure Success? Here is how you measure it.
Success is measured by what you have done compared to what
you should and could have done. Let me say it again “success is measured by
what you have done compared to what you should and could have done. In order
words the only person who knows how successful you are is you and God.
I remember one day I came from school as a junior high
student I came first in my exams I got the highest grade and when I got home I
showed my grades to my mother and my mother looked at the grades and she said
you came first in the class you beat everybody else I said I sure did I beat
everybody else I said aren’t you happy I came first and she looked at my grades
and she said I am disappointed in you and she said you came first with 69 you
aren’t smart the others just dumber. In other words I was measuring my success
against other people she said you can do better than this in other words she
was teaching me a lesson that success is not measured by how you compare with
other people but how you compare with what you are capable of doing yourself .
Purpose therefore is the key to success here is a statement
I found what lies behind us and what lies before us are tiny matters compared
to what lies within us.
In conclusion what a tragedy to be successful in the wrong
thing it is like a bird trapped in an egg if that bird never flies that bird is
a failure it never made it to flight and that is what success is
Success is not just existing success is making it to the end
of why you were created.
