No matter your career goals, no matter your desires, this one thing cannot change. Days are going to be different. Of course, no two days can be the same. It’s going to be easy today and difficult the next day. Or things might be difficult today and not so the next day. The big question is: how do you approach each day?
The great success stories told are about ordinary people who failed today but refused to give up tomorrow; instead, they figured out how to turn their failures into success stories. Yesterday’s mistakes became valuable lessons. When you go for a driver’s test and fail, you do not give up. You do not complain and shout and bemoan your fate. No! You go home, brush up your driving skills and go back again.
That’s life. Are you driven by a desire to succeed? If yes, where are you getting directions? What are the guiding principles of your life?
Are your thoughts and actions informed by popular slang and affirmations that govern the quest for success nowadays? Some say, fake it till you make it. Others say think like a millionaire so that you’ll become one. Others say a problem shared is a problem half-solved. Others say work hard and save money for retirement.
Well, none of the above ideas are in the Bible.
If you are building your life on popular philosophies, it is a recipe for failure. If it was that simple to think like a millionaire and become one, everyone should be a millionaire.
What then? All I am saying is that there is only one authentic source of wisdom, understanding, and knowledge (Proverbs 2:1-2) that can usher you into your destiny. It is the Holy Bible (Hebrews 4:12). If you haven’t cultivated a habit of reading it, start right now. The successful multi-billion companies and businesses in the world run on biblical principles. It is true regardless of the business owners being Christians or not. Biblical principles work for every human being (Luke 16:8) cos all human beings are made in the image and likeness of God (Genesis 1:27-27).
Issues of salvation and life after death are the truth (John 3:5) and should not be taken for granted. Nevertheless, Christ died on the cross for every human being (John 3:16), not only for Christians. Hence it rains on everyone and, the sun shines on all – be they evil or good people (Mathew 5:45).
Stop limiting yourself. Filter what you hear, read, watch and speak. If the information you are consuming is not aligned with the Word of God, it’s only going to waste your time.
Find and start developing your gifts. Refine your skills. Get better and better each day. No two days can be the same. If you failed yesterday, it’s not a reason for you to fail today. And if you fail again today, it doesn’t mean you won’t succeed tomorrow.
For you to truly be unstoppable, allow your desires and goals to be guided by biblical principles. There is no other surer way to success.
