10 Ways To Be A Successful Person by tosinisrael5678(m): 10:51am On Jul 29, 2014
Success is the achievement of God’s set goals for
your life. Habits are those things we do consistently and
almost without thinking. Though we do not decide
our destiny directly, we decide on our habits. Our
habits determine our character and our character
determines our destiny. We can therefore say that
godly habits bring about success. Note that if you do something consistently for 21
days, it becomes a habit. If you have a bad habit,
the best way to overcome it is to override it with a
good habit. Every human being has different habits that shape
their characters differently. But to be a successful
person, there are certain habits you need to
develop. Without them success will only be a
mirage. I want to share some of these habits with you.


Meditation: Meditation means to roll over in thought. When you meditate, you align all your
senses to focuse on a particular thing, which could
be an idea or a word or even a picture. If you are
too busy to think, then you are too busy to
succeed. Set aside a time, daily or at least weekly,
that you will meditate on the word of God. Prayer: People who succeed supernaturally make it a habit to pray. Hearing from God guarantees total
life success. It is better to talk to God about our
challenges than complain about them. Pray with
faith and thanksgiving in your heart.

Responsibility: This is your ability to respond to different situations. It is not what happens to us
that hurt or affect us; it is the way we choose to
respond to situations. You can choose not to blame
anybody or any circumstance for your present
predicament and you will find yourself making
decisions and taking actions that will lead you to success. Act rather than react.

Self- improvement: How you daily improve on yourself is what makes you outstanding. Take out
time to listen to tapes and read. Statistics show that
if you read for one hour daily in your area of
specialty for 2 to 3 years, you become an authority.
In 5 years you will be among the top 5%, in 10
years, you will be among the top 1%.

Positive talk: Successful people will correct the language of one who speaks negatively. Death and
life are in the power of the tongue; talk life! Positive
talk puts your mind to work; you will never be
stranded because you will always be able to figure
a way out.

The Seed principle: It is also called the law of cause and effect. The harvest of today are the
results of seeds planted yesterday, there is no
cause without an effect. Everyone with a seed has a
guaranteed future with God. The death of a seed is
the burial of a forest.

Persistence: This is the attitude of not giving up until you achieve the desired results. Persistence
wears out your challenges. To persist means to
continue doing something in spite of difficulty or
opposition. Everybody desires to succeed but
unfortunately not everybody does. Not because
they cannot, but because they did not persist or persevere. Action orientation: Nothing moves until you move it. Fear causes you to delay action but action
delayed is destiny denied, destiny denied is the
devil’s delight. You destiny will not be denied.
Planning: Planning is thinking ahead. When preparation meets opportunity, success is achieved.
Planning helps you to solve problems up front.
Planning makes you see ahead and when you see
ahead, you can win ahead.

Service: You need to be passionate about what to give rather than what to get. When you are out just
to get, you may fail, but when you share of
yourself, you multiply. Serve others with you gifts.
Even if you are not paid for it at first, continue
serving and at the end of the day you will surely be
rewarded.
