What is the price of true success? How is it really attained and maintained in the lives of those who possess it? And what really is success? A successful person is a winner. He or she is one who knows what they want out of life, and with boldness and determination, makes the fulfillment of their dream, their personal responsibility. This separates them from others who just sit on the sidelines waiting, hoping and praying for something to happen. Really, the thing which makes a winner, a winner, is the fact that they will not take NO for an answer. When other's quit on their life's goals and dreams, they persevere. They stay with it until they get what they desire. Persistence is the GOLDEN KEY to all true success.
Many people give up too soon. They think that they cannot achieve their dreams because all of the situations and circumstances in their lives are speaking to them, letting them know that they can never be, do or have, what they want.
The winners dare to take the challenge and run for the prize. They know that there will be risks. They understand they will have hurdles to jump, and obstacles to over-come. Yet they press on. THE REFUSE TO QUIT. They hold on and keep moving. If a door shuts in their face, they regroup and go through another door. And if all of the doors seem to be closing, they kick one down.
Like Joseph, in the BIBLE, they persevere, seeing only that goal, that vision, that dream before them.
All of us face the issues of life. None of us are immune to challenges. But it is how we view these situations which will determine whether or not we can rise above them and reach the mark of the prize set before us.
WE ARE BORN TO WIN.
Having a goal is not enough to ensure success. We must develop a workable plan of action, which we can begin to implement immediately. And then, we must take ACTION. Aggressive Action. Bold Action.
Consistent and PERSISTENT ACTION.
Here are some tips to assist you in the pursuit of your goals:
1. Realize that if God has placed a dream in your heart, IT IS POSSIBLE.
Don't doubt your vision, your purpose and your dream. If something is in your heart to accomplish, and it is good, wholesome, godly and proper, hurting no man, then it is very possible and worthy of attainment.
2. Understand the PATH to the Fulfillment of your Dream.
You must have a PLAN, which is a workable way to reach your destiny. Having a dream without a plan, is like having a car without gas. You will get no where. Make a plan that is so doable that you can begin to put it into action immediately.
3. Learn as you go.
Knowledge and Understanding is vital to the person who desires success. You must read and benefit from others who have been or stand where you would like to get. Autobiographies and biographies, along with self-help books can help to show you what is possible and how many great people attained their dreams because they refused to take no for an answer.
4.TAKE ACTION NOW.
Do not procrastinate when you know what to do. DO IT NOW. Nothing happens without action, NOTHING. So, act on your plan. God will help you. He will work with you and for you. But He is waiting on you to do what you can do.
5. NEVER STOP TRYING.
Persistence is spiritual force which causes angels to come and assist you. When you are determined to hold on to your God-given dream and refuse to cave in, give up, and quit, you will find supernatural help and aid coming to your rescue. Remember how Jacob (in the BIBLE) wrestled with the angel, for a blessing? His persistence paid off, did it not? So will yours.
Dreams were given to be fulfilled. Goals exist to be reached and even surpassed. Plans are made to be completed. So persevere. Never give up. Never quit.
