3 Steps To Success

Have you been through some challenges lately and you feel like giving up on your dream?

Wow… it’s like fate is against you, isn’t it?

Let me tell you something.

This is one feeling programmed by nature to test every man before ushering him or her into success. A lot of us just miss out of the great breakthrough that we are about to encounter by giving in to depression and despondency.

Difficult times are the most crucial times in a man’s life because it prepares him for the success that is imminent. Without it, success is of no value.

No matter what you may have passed through or what you are currently passing through, it is only a temporary phase. I have never seen anyone who spent his entire life in the ‘failure phase’.

Helen Keller spent the earliest part of her life struggling with physical disability but eventually lived one of the most successful lives ever lived.

Abraham Lincoln was a political failure for several years but eventually registered his name in the American history as one of the greatest men ever.

Ray Kroc, the man who founded McDonald’s, was a failure for the first 54 years of his life, yet went on to become one of the most successful American business businessmen.

You probably haven’t experienced as much failure as these ones. Therefore there is hope for you.

These are some things you can do to pull through the strongest challenges of life:

See Differently.

Many years ago, two men went ice skating in an ice region. They went so deep into the ice region that they got stuck for several days. No food. No water. No help. No hope.

As they managed to crawl their way out, one said, ‘I am tired. There’s no point trying. We are going to die here anyway’. But the other replied, ‘Maybe. But I’ll keep crawling’.

The first one was found stone dead in ice while the second who was found earlier was rescued to safety.

Have you wondered how big your success will be when you eventually pull through this phase of your life? Think of the glory and fulfillment that comes with overcoming a big challenge. Facing a group of young folks and inspiring them with your story of triumph.

See a better tomorrow. This is the BEST WAY to walk out of the most difficult circumstances.

Talk To Your Mentor.


You can make your challenges a lot easier to overcome by talking to your mentor or someone who has been through similar challenges in the past. If finding this person is a little bit difficult, get the biography of a successful man and read.

95% of all successful men passed through extremely difficult circumstances to reach their peaks. You will certainly find such stories inspirational.


Reflect

What have you been doing that you need to stop? What solutions could you consider to overcome the challenge? Answering these questions will do you a lot of good. Reflect on your approaches in overcoming the challenge.

There will always be a way out.

My last words to you are those of Sir Winston Churchill.

“Never, never, never give up”

..Because it isn’t over until you win.

Have a great day.
