Success Triggers - Part 2

Hello Everyone,

Today I will be blogging on the basics of success and productivity (as I see it).  I want to start off by saying a productive life is not a n accident. Success is the progressive achievement of your God given goals, the attainment of his plans for your life.  Any you may ask what is my God given goals? I don’t even have or know it. There is something magnetic and powerful about being an “up” person in a down world. It is important that we have a dream or purpose in our lives. To be dreamless is to be seedless and un focused.

Because success is the innate desire of every human being. Every body craves it, every body desires it and every one celebrates it. Every parent or grandparent wants success for his or her children or grandchildren.  However I have learnt that true success is not a destination but an adventure. It is not arriving at the peak overnight. It is making continuous progress. It is about constantly seeking new ways and strategies of making things happen/ It is accomplished stewardship. And you may say but you don’t know, I have been hit by so much adversity you really don’t know my story. There is a secret. The moment you recognize that adversity is really a miracle in disguise.  I have discovered that if you respond to it appropriately (and it may take time, energy, and will power to do so don’t get me wrong) it is actually a breeding ground for miracles. Your mind is the drawing room for tomorrow’s circumstances. What happens in your mind will happen in time. So if you can win the battle in your mind to convert the negative situation into a positive possibility you have started on a journey of restoration. Mind management therefore, is the first priority for successful living.

Every body is searching for success but most people don’t know what it looks like.  For me success comes in a variety of forms including global success, mental or mind success, health success, physical success, emotional success and of course materials success (possession, wealth). The word success has become overused taking on different meanings and connotations. To the majority of people it can easily mean possessions, position, influence, wealth.

All of these are indices of success. It is like planting an orange seed and later producing oranges. Oranges is not seed but an offshoot and an indication that your seed was planted  receive the appropriate nutrients and germinated.  The same applies to success.  All the wealth, favor, possessions, influence, earthy goods, life peace, joy are all external indices of success – by products or fruits of success. However success means more than this. It includes other life transforming intangible assets that I will explore in my next blog.

I will start with mental and physical success as this are foundations stones to building a success trigger and productive life. I will move on to being globally successful (global citizenship, emotional success and character success (integrity).

Hopefully having covered this fundamental building blocks for success we can move on to weightier matters like how do I become productive and successful. So enjoy this reading. Join me again soon for a continuation of Success Triggers- The Secret to Productive Living.
