The dictionary defined success as “The
achievement of something desired, planned or attempted.” This definition is
good but inadequate, because success is more than an achievement; it has a lot
to do with personality. Success is who you are, not a state of mind and it is
not subject to the circumstances of your environment, even if you were born
into the poorest family in the poorest country and continent on planet earth,
your success is possible because its in you. So stop looking everywhere else
for it, look inwards and download success.
If you are a success, it does not matter
what you are involved in, you will come out tops. If you were drop in the
middle of the desert, you will make a fountain of water and if you were to
market ice cubes to Eskimos, you will return with profit because it’s inherent
and not circumstantial. Success on the other hand is measured at different
levels in life and you do not have to amass all the wealth or education in the
world before it can be said that you have attained success. So start from where
you are and grow to where you want to be.
You can be a successful
driver, trader, mason, engineer, journalist, lawyer …etc. The emphasis here is
not on what you do but on who you are, by this I mean your investment in your
person, commitment to your dream, goals, aspirations and drive to succeed
against all odds, your desire to remain focused and refuse the mediocre life.
Successful people do not drop from the sky, they are made.
“David achieved success in
all he did, for the LORD was with him” 1 Samuel 18:14
