Success is something every human craves and desires yet not everyone knows how to succeed. A successful God created man in his image and so desires that man should succeed in everything he does. You can succeed with these simplest of tips.
- Partner with God to succeed: To succeed you need more than intelligence or skill. The race of life is not necessarily won by the swiftest and the battles of life are not defeated by the strongest. You need to have the backing and support of a power higher than you. What better higher being to have on your side than the one who is higher than all. Above Him there is no other. Any success you get without God is insignificant compared to the success you would have achieved with God. The biggest and best success tip you are ever going to receive concerning success is to partner with God in the journey of life.
- You must have a desire to succeed: Success will not fall on you. You have got to desire it to possess it. You have got to hunger after it like your life depends on it. Indeed your life depends on it. Desire is proof that you want it. Don't settle for less by desiring less than the best.
- Choose to succeed: We make choices everyday. What we are today is a product of the choices we made yesterday. Failing to choose is already a choice. We are called to choose between success and failure; good and bad; blessing and curse. Life is not luck so don't leave your life to mother luck or accident. Determine what you want by choosing what you want and you are most certainly going to get what you want.
- Have faith to succeed: Without faith it is impossible to please God. Faith is believing that you will get what you do not yet see or possess. Faith is not peculiar to a particular religion. We practice faith in everyday living. We go to bed at night and expect to wake up the following morning. You can't succeed if you do not have faith to succeed. If you fear (negative faith) to fail you are most likely going to fail. Fear in itself is a kind of faith and that is because the thing you fear will come upon you and the thing you have faith for will also be yours.
- Dream to succeed: Nothing shall be impossible to you if you can only imagine or envision it. Do you have dreams to succeed? I am not talking about closing your eyes and wishing. Do you constantly have a picture in your mind of you attaining the level you want to attain? What image of yourself do you see painted in your mind? If you can imagine it and refuse to be distracted you will soon become it. Are you barren in any form? Begin to see yourself as fruitful and soon enough the seeds of imagination planted in the soil of your mind will germinate and bear fruit. We are what we think or imagine that we are.
- Plan to succeed: Don't just dream success but plan to succeed. You should have goals and plans. Make plans on how you intend to reach your dreams. God plans. The ant plans. You don't stumble into success. You plan and achieve success. God has a plan for your life. Get His plan for your life and follow it. His plan is the only one that is foolproof and guaranteed to succeed.
- Take action to succeed: The difference between success and failure is action. The slogan for sportswear manufacturing company Nike is "just do it". A good plan without action translates to failure. Do not procrastinate or wait for perfect conditions before acting on your plan. He that observes the wind will not sow as such will starve in the time of harvest.
