What is Success? What is Failure? Which have you Achieved?

One of the richest, most successful men in the world, Bill Gates of Microsoft fame, is a college drop out.

So did you drop out of college? How many grades did you flunk?   Did some teacher ever call you hopeless or stupid? How many times have you tried to achieve success, 1,300, just 11, 1 or none? 

Could you yourself stand forth and lead your little island of less than 60 million people, all cowering in fear before the world’s mightiest, best prepared and very well equipped army on your very doorstep, and inspire them to fight back, against the world’s greatest tyrant, with the words; ”We Shall Never Surrender!”  He organized and defended the freedom of the whole western world. 

How have you used your teacher’s gift of reading? On comics? On cartoons? Go read: “There is a better way to live” by Og Mandino or “Household Gold” by Steve Price.  If you desire a taste of the classics; try Homer or Shakespeare.  Have you read: “Without a vision, (dream or goal) the people perish?  Proverbs 29:18

You may see things and say, why? But I dream things that never were, and say: “Why Not?”  (George Bernard Shaw).

So to make your dreams work for you, don’t just wait around for success---go out and find it!

Aim high. It’s a peculiar thing that no more effort is required to aim high, to demand prosperity and abundance, than is required to accept misery and poverty. Neither is it wrong to expect to be blessed with abundance, health and wealth, here on this earth. The very son of God said; “I have come that you might have life and that you might have it more abundantly” John 10:10.

Set high goals for yourself and have a burning desire to achieve them.  Memorize the formula: What the mind of man can conceive and believe, the mind of man can achieve, with a Positive Mental Attitude. According unto thy faith be it unto thee. But if you think you can’t, you are indeed right. You cannot.

To become an achiever in any human activity, it takes practice---practice---practice---with a positive Mental Attitude!   You must think and believe that you can.

If you keep your conscious mind focused on what you want, your subconscious mind will unerringly guide you to it.

By sowing an action, you reap a habit, sowing a habit and you reap a character, sowing a character and you reap your destiny.  You will then have achieved success!

Make not the total accumulation of Dollars your destiny, your dream or your goal. As you serve your fellow man, you are only in the service of your God, who full well knoweth that you have need of all these things to do his work. The Dollars/Pounds/Euros & Yen will all come as needed. So seek you first the kingdom of God and whereof his glory and all these things shall be added onto you.  Go do His work and he will bless you. Put your shoulder to the wheel, and push along.  Sing: We are all enlisted till the journey is o're, Happy are we!  Happy are we! And so shall it be.
