FINISH WHAT YOU HAVE STARTED

Reaching the end is very important to the success of any venture

But he who endures to the end shall be saved Matthew 24:13

If you will not give up despite all distractions, obstacles and discouragement of life, you will eventually reach your goal.

The secret of the champion is their refusal to quit trying.

If you begin one thing and abandon it half way, you may become a jack of all trade and master of none.

If you are able to stick out, if you are able not to quit, if you are able to continue and sustain your energy in spite of the internal and external distraction, you will eventually reach your goal.

Futility is merely a feeling…conquer it and keep trying toward your goal. Create small success when large one seems impossible. Never, never give up until you reach the end of your goal.

Much good work is lost for lack of little more

MANHOOD IS A PRODUCT OF CHALLENGES

The measure of a man’s success is determined by the magnitude of obstacles he obtained and overcome in life.

And being found in the appearance of man, He humbled Himself and became obedient to the point of death, even the death of the cross. Therefore God also has highly exalted Him and given Him the name that is above every name, Philippians 2:8-9(NKJV)

Great achievements are usually the result of consistent struggle to overcome difficulties. Great men do not run away or shrink from challenges. If there is nothing to overcome there would be no victory.

The difficulties, hardship and trial of life, the obstacle one encounters on the road to success, are positive blessing. They knit his muscles more firmly and teach him self-reliance, just as by wrestling with an athlete who is superior to us, we increase own strength and learn the secret of his skill.

The challenges of life are meant to extract the best in you and to bring you to the knowledge of your true identity

If you are going to be a man in this century, you need to know how to press your way through obstacles, high mountains and dark valleys.

BUILD RELATIONSHIP

The degree of your success is dependent on the degree of your relationship with people

Two are better than one, because they have a good return for their labor: Though one may be overpowered, two can defend themselves. A cord of three strands is not quickly broken. Ecclesiastes 4:9, 12(NIV)

A man's greatest assets are the people around him and if you have the right relationship you will get to where you are going.

Someone said that 'you are just four steps away from any man in the world'. This means that if you have the right connection, you will get to any place in the world.

This is the main reason you must strive to cultivate and maintain good and right relationship with men. You cannot afford to look down on any man no matter how small they might look. They might just be the next person you need to reach your next level of success.

George Washington said 'how far you go in life depends on you being tender with the young, compassionate with the aged, sympathetic with the striving and tolerant of the weak and the strong, because someday in your life, you will have been all these'.

God's intention for you is not to succeed in isolation. We do not live in a vacuum. We live in a society where we have to mingle with others in order to exist.

The degree of your success is dependent on the degree of your relationships. You will never become successful without the help of others and you must possess a good relationship with them to help you reach your goal.

Fall in love with people and people will fall in love with you and men will contribute to your success.

LEARN FROM YOUR FAILURE

You learn much more in failure than you learn in success.

Have you ever considered why God allow us to go through bad days as well as good ones? Because we can learn through adversity what we should never learn through prosperity- For no temptation (no trial regarded as enticing to sin), [no matter how it comes or where it leads] has overtaken you and laid hold on you that is not common to man [that is, no temptation or trial has come to you that is beyond human resistance and that is not adjusted and adapted and belonging to human experience, and such as man can bear]. But God is faithful [to His word and to His compassionate nature], and He [can be trusted] not to let you be tempted and tried and assayed beyond your ability and strength of resistance and power to endure, but with the temptation He will [always] also provide the way out (the means of escape to a landing place), that you may be capable and strong and powerful to bear up under it patiently. 1Corinthians 10:13(AMP)

In the real fact, if you don’t take responsibility for your failure, you will not be able to handle success when it comes.

We are in the school called ‘life’. Life is full of lessons and failure is a part of the lessons. Anytime you learned through failure, you have made a major step towards success.

Failure doesn’t mean you have accomplished nothing, it does mean you have learned something. Success is defined as ‘moving from failure to failure (and learning) without losing courage or enthusiasm,’ says the great Abraham Lincoln (Emphasis Mine)

Personal Development

When one begins with the goal of developing oneself, one will be placed in a better chance of achieving success.

Then Pharaoh said to Joseph, “inasmuch as God has shown you all this, there is no one as discerning and wise as you. You shall be over my house and all my people shall be ruled according to your word. Genesis 41:39,40a(NKJV)

 You cannot be more productive than your vocabulary level: words are tools of thoughts. If you wish to be well equipped for understanding other people and for expressing yourself, you should continually try to improve your vocabulary.

Information is a major mental stimulator that spurs the brain to increase pace and productivity irrespective of age and grade.

A mind that is loaded with relevant and compendious information through audio and video tape as well as through inspirational literature cannot but be empowered to perform greatly.

The more nutritious the information, the richer and healthier the mind become and the higher you fly in the game of success.

Real success in any endeavor usually demand more from the individual than what people are willing to offer.
