The reason most people never win is because they are afraid to lose, they are not rich because they are terrified of losing ..winners are not afraid to lose, on a second thought they are, because everybody as a fear....like every behaviour, fear can be unlearned or mastered. Successful people have grown to master their fear, and they've also learned that failure is most time a part of the process of success....the truth is people who try to avoid failure, never make it big...all they try to do is not necessary not to succeed, but not to fail. Shockingly most people who try to avoid failure, will inevitably avoid success.....because most times failure is success in disguise. Learn to manage risk, not avoid them. Who has ever tried doing something new and never had a setback. Remember, we all have fears, its how we handle our fears that matter.
Perception is of importance, don't be gullible, you might wanna try something else if you arent breaking through....you must understand what really motivates you to persevere in your endeavor

In this fast changing world, little are those who want to climb the ladder of success, everyone is thinking of an elevator....the irony is that you still gotta get yourself into the elevator,with the hope that its gonna lift you.....you've got to punch the button of success anyways by daily doing that which will earn you success, until then your lift to success might be slow

HOLD ON TO YOUR FAITH
“Faith is the substance of things hoped for and the evidence
of things not seen”
Holy Bible
One thing I’ve always realized is that your
faith is the most important element in your endeavor, maybe that’s what
Napoleon Hill meant when he said “every successful person finds that great
success lays just the point when they are convinced their idea is not going to
work”. Sometimes you have to stick your nose and even your head into strenuous
situations before you can get it out. You might need to suck it up when you
can’t…I know how it is, trust me.
You sure can succeed if you won’t give up, hold on to your
faith. I try to live up to a saying that “don’t give up until your life is up”.
You might actually not see a sense in this saying, maybe because there isn’t
any yet, until you give one to it.
We’ve all heard so many sayings “life isn’t
fair, life isn’t that…and that”, but how about life isn’t funny. Everybody has
a meaning to life, its dependent on your perspective of it. But most times life
is just giving you a test, to actually see if you are really determined to
succeed, to see your dreams turned into realities. It just wants to really give
you a meaning to your purpose, your dreams.
If you are thinking of starting a new
business, there is a probability that you would encounter some constraints: be
it capital or another. It is easier to shove in and give up; it happened to me,
I really can relate to it. It’s not the disappointment that matter, it what
really happen within you that matter, because you really can’t expand on the
outside until something really bid happens on the inside. There is a poem that
written by Howard Goodman, it is called “I don’t regret a mile”. Some part says:
I’ve dreamed many dream that’s never come
true,
I’ve seen them vanish at dawn,
But enough of my dreams have come
true
To make me keep dreaming on
I’ve prayed many a prayer that seemed
no answer would come,
Though I’d waited so patient and long;
But enough answers have come to my
prayers
To make me keep praying on
I’ve sown many a seed that’s fallen
by the wayside,
For birds to feed upon
But I’ve held enough golden sheaves
in my hands
To make me keep sowing on
I’ve trusted many a friend that
failed me
And left me to weep alone
But enough of my friends have been
true blue
To make me keep trusting on
I’ve drained the cup of
disappointment and pain
And gone many a day without a song
But I’ve sipped enough nectar from roses
of life
To make me want to live on
It’s your
focus that really matter, where and what you focus on. That’s why it’s
advisable not to use your cell phone while driving, because it could alter your
focus.
I blogged about eliminating your fears(you could read again) , you must know that if you must do that, you must have
something you firmly believe in, you’ve got to hold on to something. The
question is what are you holding on to? What’s your conviction? I love what
Napoleon Hills wrote in his book “the power of positive thinking”
if you think you are beaten you are.
if you think you dare not you don’t.
if you like to win but you think you can’t.
it is almost certain you won’t.
if you think you’ll lose, you are
lost.
For out in the world we find
Success begins with a fellow’s will-
It’s all in the state of the mind.
If you think you are outclassed, you
are
You’ve got to think high to rise,
You’ve got to be sure of yourself
before
You can ever win a prize
Life’s battles don’t always go
To the stronger or faster man.
The truth is life ends up giving us what we
demand from it, be it success or failure. It might not look like it, but I urge
you don’t give up, constantly affirm this to yourself “I won’t give up, until
my life is up”. You might say then what happens next, I really don’t know, yes
I don’t, because you are the captain of your faith, you are the one who
determines what happens to you.
Peter Lowe, the success expert, who has worked
with hundreds of people of top professions, says “the most common trait I have
found in all successful people is that they have conquered the temptation to
give up”. “I have missed more than 9,000 shots in my career”, Michael Jordan
once said “I’ve lost almost 300 games. Twenty-six times, I’ve been trusted to
take the game-winning shot, missed. I’ve failed over and over and over again.
And that is why I succeed”.
If you are going to succeed in business and
in life, you must have the confidence that you will succeed no matter the hand
you are dealt. As far as you are concerned, failure is not an option, hold on
to your faith
“Many
of life’s failure are people who did not realize how close they were to success
when they gave up”

How often have you heard, “Business is slow. The economy makes it hard to generate revenue. There’s too much competition.”
Comments like these are made each and
every day. And yet, there are those who will tell you it has never been
easier to build a successful business than today.
So what’s the distinction? Perception, focus and visibility. Yes...Visibility!
The easiest way to build your business
is to build your visibility. It makes little difference what industry
you are in – visibility reigns.
Those who are making a living are
always on the lookout for how to increase their visibility. The more
visibility you have that builds market recognition, the more your
credibility as an expert in your field increases.
Here’s a simple fact: Visibility
creates ample opportunities. Because of the internet there are now
countless ways gain massive visibility. The more visible you are, the
more opportunities seem to come out of the woodwork.

LIVE
BY A CREED
“Go
put your creed in your deed”
-Ralph
Waldo Emerson
If
you are truly going to unleash the genius within you, you must have a
creed and follow it up; you must constantly live by it. The Boy Scout
have a famous creed, which is continuously alarmed in it members ears
“be prepared”. Why is that? You may ask….well they are being
conditioned to be prepared for a purpose, and I think the most
important part of living up to a creed, is being disciplined, in fact
“discipline” should top the list of your creed.
After
he graduated from grade school at age twelve, John Wooden, the
legendary basketball coach was given a seven point creed by his
father; which he lived by, he later affirmed that this creed helped
shaped his life and most importantly his career.
“Making
the Most of Oneself”
-Be
true to yourself
-Make
each day your master piece
-Help
others
-Drink
deeply from good books
-Make
friendship a fine art
-Build
a shelter against a raining day
-Pray
for guidance and give thanks for your blessings everyday
The
optimists’ club creed is one I really enjoy so much, which has
really influenced my life to some extent, because I always try to
improve it every day…..
Promise
Yourself…..
-To
be Strong that nothing can disturb your peace of mind
-To
talk health, happiness, prosperity to every person you meet.
-To
make all your friends feel that there is something of value in them.
-To
look at the sunny side of everything and make your optimism come
true.
-To
think only the best, to work only for the best, and to expect the
best.
-To
be just as enthusiastic about success of others as you are about your
own
-To
forget the mistakes of the past and press on to the greater
achievements of the future.
-To
wear a cheerful countenance at all times and give every living
creature you meet a smile.
-To
give so much time to the improvement of yourself that you have no
time to criticize others.
-To
be too large to worry, too noble for anger, too strong or fear, and
too happy to permit presence of trouble.
You
must remember that the purpose of this creed is ultimately essential
in who you will turn out to be, and take note that it is who you
become in the process that matter the most.

ELIMINATE YOUR FEARS, AND
ADOPT THE
POSSIBILITIES
“Let me assert my firm
belief that the only thing we have to fear is fear itself”
-Franklin Roosevelt
The worst way to look at the future is looking towards it
through the window pane of fear. The fear of failing is the greatest enemy of
success. Most often time we prefer to stick to the status quo than daring to do
something new. This is often the reason why the people at the top of the ladder
of success are often few, it’s the bottom of the ladder that’s often crowded.
I’d rather
be a fool and then succeed than succeed successfully at being a fool forever by
not trying, the words of Beverly sills keeps
echoing to my ears that ‘you may be
disappointed if you fail, but you are doomed if you don’t try’
The other day I was chatting with this girl,
who demanded that I coach her on starting her business, or I say MINDING HER BUSINESS, well we got to a turning
point when she told me she was shy of starting her business, her reason being
that she gave in into people’s skepticism of her idea, but I did straighten up
her thinking immediately, by referring her to Mary Kay Ash and other success
stories, but the point is people are often scared, this fear of failure, the
nagging insecurity that we won’t succeed, and I think the greatest thing that
fear does is to demolish your creativity, leaving you often impotent to
perform.
Skeptics are bound to exist when
something new will exist, critics will arise, and I’ve always defined a critic
as someone who doesn’t know the triumph of achievement nor has ever tried to do
something new, nor will he ever know what victory or defeat is….but criticize
the trial of a determined man or a doer of something.
“Who told you it couldn’t be done? And what great achievement has he to
his credit that entitles him to use the word ‘impossible’ so freely? ”
-Unknown
If you are
going to succeed in life, you’ve got to adopt the possibility mentality. Napoleon Bonaparte is credited to have said
“the word impossible is not in my dictionary”. That’s a lot of courage to
succeed.
And the
irony about the word impossible according to Mark 9:23 is that they end up being possible to him that believes: Jesus said unto him, "If thou canst
believe, all things are possible to him that believeth.”
We live in a
world were speculation doesn’t cease, neither does information, but also people
tend to live on the information that is given or transmitted to them, that’s
why it is of great failure when our so called experts in their fields send out
the wrong information.
Let’s check
out some famous discouraging words
-“I think there is only a world
market for about five computers”
-Thomas Watson, chairman IBM, 1943
What was he thinking?
As it stands there more than five
computers in the world
-“There is no reason for any
individual to have computer in their home”
-Ken Olsen, President
of Digital Equipment Corporation, 1977
What was he thinking?
As it stands there are thousands
reasons to have a computer in our homes
-“It is an idle dream to imagine that
automobile will take the place of railways in long-distance movement of
passengers”
-America
Road Congress, 1913
What were they
thinking?
As it stands it isn’t just a dream
but a reality.
-“the phonograph is of no commercial
value”
-Thomas Edison, remarks
on his own invention in 1880
What was he thinking?
I think we could ask our entertainment
industry.
-“this telephone has too many
shortcomings to be considered as a means of communication”
-WESTERN UNION, 1876
What were they
thinking?
The world would have needed one
today.
-“heavier than air flying machines
are impossible”
-Lord
Kelvin, President, Royal society, 1895
What was he thinking?
He must have lost his mind, with such
words.
-“everything that can be invented has
been invented”
-Commissioner, U.S.
office of patent, 1899
What was he thinking?
He was obviously wrong, since 1899
till now, about thousand of inventions and discoveries have been made, and many
are yet to be discovered.
It’s true that people would still
speculate their ignorance, don’t give in to them. Take your stand and eliminate
your fears. You will succeed if you don’t listen to the expert ignoramus.

Dreams are the stuffs which success is made up of,.....and like John Maxwell said 'dreams dont work unless you do'.....everybody has got something called 'dream', which if pursued, would definitely be achieved, regardless of the detours that would be encountered on the way- the attitude that is needed to be a success. Set out today to start what you want to do.
Things to ponder on
-you dont need to be great to start, but you need to start to be great.
-success begins by beginning.
-action is a leverage used by every successful person.
-until you do, you can never be.

If there's ever a time that our minds need growing, it's now. You cant continue to live on the knowledge of the past. Someone once said 'if you are not updated you would be outdated'............what you know today will be outdated tomorrow, next month....the only information that will survive is the information you know today and can use today.. that's why if you feel you have a cause to start something, start it today, start it now, tomorrow might be to late. In this 21st century, informations get updated every minute..............
