This past few days, I fond myself on reading books and one of these is "God's Little Devotional Book on Success" - Ironically speaking, this book was own by my sister (years back) and one day it just pop up while I'm cleaning the house. Then I said to myself, "I should start reading this book this December for motivation on what I really want."
The book said: A person's success is deeply rooted in their individual gifts, traits and desires. It is related to each person recognizing their unique potential and working to fulfil it while holding to the values associated with it and accomplishing goals on the path towards it. Therefore, each person's definition of success is different. There are many methods for becoming successful, but they all contain these four basic truths in one form or another:
- be your best (noble character),
- do your best (quality performance).
- work hard (quantity of performance), and
- never give up (persistence).
The definition of success and methods of attaining it are individual, but common to every person's pursuit of success is the need for motivation.
Then I said to myself upon reading this book, maybe this will be sign that God wants me to focus on. - Be Motivated. It is a half way there to finish this book, but for now I will give you some food for thoughts to refresh your self from other things.
Glory and honor and peace to every
man who does good.
Romans 2:10 NASB
Let us not get tired of doing what is rigth,
for after a while we will reap a
harvest of blessing if we do'nt get
discouraged and give up.
Galatians 6:9 TLB
His peace will keep your thoughts
and your hearts quiet and at rest
as you trust in Christ Jesus.
Philippians 4:7 TLB
This are words from the holy bible, however I know for sure you heard this many times, but it is differerent when you read it with your two bare eyes. Now the coming year is near, full of new hopes and desires, blessings and sacrifices, tears and laughters. But no matter what happen, I will have a consistent motivation to work hard and achieve the true essence of success. Cheers!
