FAILING YOUR WAY TO SUCCESS

Happy Easter and compliments of the season to you and your family, wherever you are in the world!

To wake up from one's slumber is by the saving grace of a higher power [God Almighty], if like me you are a believer. That is not to say, that, I am imposing my belief system on you, as God Himself who orchestrated the many complexities that we marvel at today in the world, gave us the liberty to make decisions that has affected the destinies of many individuals, both young and old. So, this Easter is a celebration of the ultimate sacrifie of redemption that His only begotten son, Jesus Christ paid for me over 2000 years ago. Read John 3:16 and Act 5:30 for more info.

Now to the topic at hand. When I look at success, I see an anthithesis. The latter is something that many of us have fallen victim to maybe once or twice or even an uncountable number of times in our lives, and that is the famous guy called, 'failure.' The sad thing is that, most people don't even know how to handle this dude when it suddenly appears in our dictionaries. But in reality, this is merely a design component in the manufacturing assembly of life itself. So, unfortunately, we have to get use to it.

Why do people fail? This is a question that has bothered me for so long, and I'm sure it has done the same to you on many occasions. As part of the design of life that I alluded to earlier, it is an inevitability, and one that will help shape the course of your life progression and destination, if you tackle it with the right tools in your mind. Did he just say, your mind? Yes, I did.

"Most of the battles we encounter in life is either won or lost in our minds even before they begin." The primary role of failure is to throw us off balance and re-orientate our thoughts and focus in the right direction. Think of it this way, When you switch on an electric kettle full of water, as it heats up the water eventually reaches its boiling point, at this point, the kettle automatically goes off. Now, what stops the water from exceeding its boiling point, and simply evaporating, which could many times have caused a huge blaze? It is called a thermostat. In our day to day life, we need a thermostat (failure) to stop us from taking the wrong steps on our way to accomplishing those deep-seated goals, dreams and aspirations that are so dear to us. 

Failure, is not always a bad thing. But, it surely hurts when it happens to you. But, on your way to succeeding in whatever it is you plan to do, there is need to fail to be able to see the correct destination that you are suppose to go to. It could be in your career, business, relationship or what have you. The most important thing is to remain focused and firm when it shows up on your doorstep. Remember to deal with any issues methodically and with dogged determination, and I can assure you that, that particular phase in your life will definitely pass away. One day, when you've re-grouped and recuperated, all that will become history and something to teach others who find themselves in similar situations.

I trust that you have been encouraged by this message, and it is my Easter wish, that you will be generous enough to share it. You never know whose life you will change by doing so, gallantly.
