IF YOU DESIRE SUCCESS, GO AFTER EXCELLENCE!

Unknow to multitudes, the secret of SUCCESS is not Hard Work or Struggle. The secret of success is imbedded in EXCELLENCE! Excellence is an act of being diligent in everything you do anywhere you find yourself. Before long, SUCCESS will embrace you!

Diligence is an act of SUCCESS. Responsibility is a mark of success. It is called Response-ABILITY; your ability to respond positively to anything. In other words, when you are diligent in your day-to-day activity, you are tending towards a successful life.

Success doesn't come over night. It is a gradual process. Before you become successful, excellence trains your mind to accept nothing less than the acceptable standards. This is the basis of true success in life! If you have these traits inherent in you, before long, success will embrace you!

Cutting corners is a way of saying 'I am lazy. I don't believe in myself. I am good for nothing.' Before long, your Spirit begins to yield to this mental process and your soul becomes saturated with the deadly fallacy.

When you get acquainted with EXCELLENCE, success runs after you! Excellence bequeaths you with a positive mental prowess so that you know nothing but excellence, which eventually precipitates success. This is the unchangeable result of any excellent activity-it attracts success!

PSYCHOLOGY OF THE MIND

The mind works like a computer; it plays and replays the information stored therein. In essence, the more you saturate your conscious mind with an idea or possibility, the more tendency there is for your subconscious mind to act towards such possibility or idea.

THE HOME SYNDROME
A person who grows up in a home where "if you don't go to school, you will be a failure" is a cliche, will believe that the only prerequisite for success is "going to school." He will undoubtedly believe what he has been used to over time. For such person, education is the ultimate notwithstanding the myriad of talent and inherent ability he has. Nothing matters to him; only "school" He keeps waiting to go to school without exploring other areas of his life that can enable him financially and mentally to go to "school"

DIFFERENT SET OF RULES

Having a negatively fixed mindset disables your mental prowess and deactivates your thinking cap. Only you can disillusion yourself by reassuring yourself that that set of rule that has made you stagnant, or that has made you not to beyond average is not the best for you. Apply a different set of rules; be positively minded and evade fallacy.

WHAT IS THE CAUSE?

It's amazing how two people are born into different homes, one grows up with a high self-esteem, the other swims in inferiority complex. A factor is responsible for this; the mindset of those who nursed and or schooled them. Really, there is no way for you to determine the authenticity of what your guardians teach you during your formative years of childhood. That is why as adults, it is vital to read books and do somethings outside what you have been always used to. When you hear something new, something different from what you used to know, don't wave the idea off. If it makes a little sense to you, in the extra-mile to know more about the seeming absurd realization, that could be your breakthrough.

Those who succeed in life are those who bend easily and try out new things. If you have been holding on to an idea for a long time and it seems as though you are yet in the same spot, try new things. Don't be stiff to changes. Pride makes you keep holding on to what you believe in even though you are convinced it's false!

CONTROL WHAT GOES INTO YOUR MIND

When the ear keeps listening to one thing, the mind continues to assimilate it and consequently transmits it to the brain. Funny enough, the brain accepts whatever the mind tells it and acts according to the dictates of the status quo.

A mind, which has been soaked with possibilities and positivity will naturally respond to a situation positively, and with adept because his mind has been trained to believe that nothing is impossible if only he can first imagine the success that will come from the step he will take. Then he throws his heart over the bar; he goes for the best, expects the worse, and takes whatever comes so as to do subsequent improvisation. He tries with relentless effort until there is a result.

DARE TO TRY

Until you try, you will never know you can actually succeed in a particular thing. Good enough, there is no price for trying, but a higher price is placed on not trying at all; failure.

When you know how the mind works, you will be able to avert certain things and live a life that is devoid of recklessness and immaturity. When you realize that your mind listens to, and works with what it has been constantly fed with over time, you should also realize that it's high time you disillusioned yourself from fallacies and negativities of life. Henceforth, feed your ears and mind with materials and ideas that can transform your whole being and make you see possibility in everything you do. Read books that can replace your negative mindset. Listen to songs that will inspire you to do great things; songs that will motivate you towards greatness and fulfilment.

THE DIP ANECDOTE

When a foam is dipped in oil, and is squeezed, it brings forth oil. The same thing happens to a bottle filled with water, when the bottle is turned upside down, it pours out water. Likewise your mind. The uppermost material or idea is activated at any inconvienience, hereby displaying what it has been made to repeatedly believe.

THREE THINGS THAT CAN EITHER MAKE YOU FAIL OR SUCCEED

The reality of life begins when you realize the need to have a reasonable future either by your present actions or your approach towards life.

There are multitudes who if they had known they were sailing to the wrong place would have had a rethink.The funny thing about life is that it keeps pushing you to where you want to go. It doesn't push you towards that place you really need to be. At first it feels like a tour, but with time you realize that you've been merry-going round.

                                            THREE CORE THINGS
When journeying through life, there three main things to be considered and prioritized. The first is

                                                                    MISSION



As humans, it is of utmost importance that we realized our core values, evaluate them and strengthen them. knowing your core values implies having a set-goal for the future. A future without a plan is as tasteless as a soup without salt. Of what benefit is it to live in an insipid future? A future where all you do is keep hoping for better days.

Gone are the days when we keep wishing for great deals. You and I know that for you a achieve a goal, you must work for it.

The second core thing is  

                                                                        VISION

The English dictionary describes VISION as "the ability to think about the future with imagination or wisdom." In essence, everyone irrespective of tribe, race, nationality, status, educational qualification etc. have the inherent ability, freedom and right  to build and live in a desired future. Question is "why do some people achieve their goals in life while others never get to achieve theirs till they drop dead?" Answer is "those who achieve their desired goals in life are either those who were able to imagine how they wanted their future to be, acted towards their imagination and never gave up their goals even when it seemed as though the whole world was crashing on their head. Or those who saw the need to bequeath a legacy behind.

When the heart conceives an idea and the brain rationalizes an agreement is then reached by both parties, that's when you either decide to carry out a plan or leave it. True success is born from trying to render a selfless service.

The third core thing in life is

                                                                  TARGET


When you know your MISSION in life and you have a VISION, you must as well have a target audience for whatever value you are rendering. know your capability and know who you want to reach or affect.

YOUR VISION IS YOUR FUTURE

There are a million and one ways with which anyone can be in the future they hope to be in, One of such ways is VISION. the Oxford dictionary defines VISION as the ability to think about the future with imagination or wisdom. in essence, VISION is a mental image of what you intend to achieve. This automatically implies that anyone can be in their desired future irrespective of their background, tribe, race, nationality, social status, educational qualification, etc.

VISION is the ability to see what is not visible as though it was visible, with an indomitable mind-set that it is achievable.
