It is quite
obvious that a lot of people see life just as period to hustle, make money have
fun and one day die. They get married, have many children, hustle to send them
to school and on and on the chain continues from generation to generation. These
children are brought into existence by such parents with such orientation would
never get the deeper meaning of life.
In some areas of
the world, life is seen as the survival of the fittest.
God created every human being for a purpose and put a particular talent in
everyone. All achievements by people today did not just happen all of a sudden.
They found the purpose of their lives by asking God for it. If you do not find
the purpose of your existence you can never make an achievement or even if you
end up making it you would never feel fulfilled with your achievement.
What can I make
out of life? There are no jobs in the country. I have a certificate and it is
useless to me. Can I ever achieve anything? This are the issues that bother
people in the present. Yes you can make achievement even without working under
someone. You could start something new by discovering that which you possess
that no one or only few have. You can only become a success if you believe in
success. What you become is what you think. Positive thinking is a trigger for
achievement. The bible also says ‘As a man thinketh in his heart so is he’ Prov
23:7
The mind can also
be a source of failure because at times when you are close to achieving you
might just have the thought that it is not possible. Note this ‘the tougher it
gets the closer you are to achieving your pursuit’. Imagine you are the point of
just taking the last step to achieving your greatest dream and you give up-
this means all your efforts have being in vain. Failure is a sign that
something went wrong; it is not time to give up but time to get it right.
Open your heart
to the lord that is a God of achievement. Jeremiah 32:27 says ‘Behold, I am the
Lord of all flesh. Is there anything too hard for me?’ There is nothing
impossible for the lord. He exhibited his power in the life of a barren woman
Sarah who gave birth at a very old age. As you were formed in your mother’s
womb the lord had already known your future but it is left to you to search it
out.
To be great you
would have to do the extraordinary. To
get the prize you must pay the price. The race of life is for the brave.
Discover yourself and you would be able to discover your purpose and then the
possible ways to achieve it. You would also need strong pillars for support in
achieving your dream and living behind a legacy to be followed by others. David
Solie regarded legacy as the unique footsteps you leave behind after you die.
That is your legacy-the standard you set in the world behind.
‘Keep your heart
with all diligence, for out of it spring the issues of life’ -Proverbs 4:23
