Success Principles

An adage says “if wishes were horses, beggars will ride”.  Many people wish they are successful – healthy, wealthy, rich, brilliant, outstanding – but are not. Why? Yes, you do not succeed by wishing.  You choose to succeed by applying the principles of success in your life or any area you desire success.

Success is not guaranteed to every human who walks the planet. However, the potential for success is bequeathed to each of us at birth. Success is not an accident or the result of believing that life owes it to you.  Success is not: power, fame, wealth, prosperity, happiness or independence. Once gained, there is no guarantee that the success you have achieved will be maintained indefinitely in any recognizable or       anticipated form. If success is lost, it is not destined to elude us forever. Success is a choice.

You need to know these principles.  When you know these principles; what they are, what they mean to your life and how to put them into action, you will find that success and its by-products: good health, happiness, wealth and satisfying relationships will be yours. These principles works in any part of the world you find yourself.  They are not limited to the developed countries as people think.

Obedience

One of the key principles of success is obedience to your Creator.  God already desires that you succeed so He deposited in you all that you need to be a success.  You need Him to understand what to do at every point in time.  I keep telling people that in whatever profession you are, whatever career you want to pursue, there is written in the Book of books what it takes to succeed in it.  No wonder, the opening verse urges us to meditate on the Book day and night and make sure we obey all that is written in it. I purposely underline the word ‘then’ in the verse.

The word ‘then’ shows a result that comes from an action. The action here is being obedient to this Book of the Law, even as you read; study and meditate on it day and night. The result is that you make your way prosperous and have good success. Take the verse in proverbs 22:29 “Do you see a man diligent and skillful in his business? He will stand before kings; he will not stand before obscure men.” People who have made great success in their chosen career and businesses have been men who are diligent and skillful.
