The Chief Cause of Failure & Unhappiness Is Trading What We Want Most For What We Want At The Moment!

Life is all about priorities. You need to get your priorities right if you want to succeed and experience happiness in your life. Many people know what is important to them, they know the activities they have to engage in to succeed and yet still they find themselves selling themselves short. Failure and unhappiness comes because someone decides to put off working on their most important priorities for the sake of fulfilling the lust of temporary pleasures.

Sometimes it requires you to sacrifice watching some TV programs for the sake of accomplishing your goals. Sometimes you got to put off spending a lot of your time with friends for the sake of accomplishing your goals. There are so many tempting things out there, but the problem is, they only satisfy us in the present moment, they’ve got nothing to do with securing our ideal future of abundance and happiness. Your future can only be better if you get your priorities right. Daily, deal with your main important priorities first before you decide to do anything that is not productive.

Watch out for daily interruptions such as reading emails, answering mobile or cellular phone, watching TV, surfing the web with no direction, talking on the phone for many hours with friends, family members who wants your attention anytime of the day, pets, delivery people, new ideas, etc

In as much as you might be tempted to put off your most productive tasks to deal with unimportant tasks, my advice is, don’t listen to that voice. Don’t yield to that temptation, don’t follow that path. It leads to failure and unhappiness. I am not saying you shouldn’t read emails, play with kids, watch TV or anything. I am saying, you need to priorities your daily activities wisely. I know you want to be happy and succeed in life. So my advice to you is, get your priorities right!

Greatness Lies Not In Being Strong, But In The Right Use of Strength – Henry Ward

There are a few keys one has to lay hold of so as to unlock that door of greatness in their life. I believe that you do have greatness on the inside of you. There is more to you and sometimes it can be daunting to know of your greatness and yet still ignorant of how to unleash it out.

Here Are 5 Keys To Unleash Your Greatness.

Have A Vision

Having a vision means knowing what you are meant to accomplish. A vision is a picture of future greatness. This is where you will be heading and you should know beyond doubt what you are intending to accomplish. Without a vision, you’ll end up doing the things that don’t matter, not knowing where you’re going like a blind leading the blind. You need to believe in that vision, and work hard to achieve it no matter what obstacles you may come across along the way.

Set Goals

Earl Nightingale put it this way, “People with goals succeed because they know where they are going“. It’s as simple as that! Goals are what I call ‘the light in the path’. They guide you towards where you are going. They get rid of confusion as to what to do at an particular time since everything will be clearly defined. Your objective is to accomplish your vision. Hence manageable goals or tasks should be put in place for you to stay focused and on course. Remember what Lao Tzu said, “A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step“.  One task at a time will get you there!

Passion + Determination + Consistence

Og Mandino put it this way, “Failure will never overtake me if my determination to succeed is strong enough“. Simple as that! Hebbel put it this way, “Nothing great in the world has ever been accomplished without passion.” You got to be passionate about your vision. Without passion you lack motivation to see your vision through. Not only are you supposed to be passionate, but you need determination and consistency to acquire greatness in your life. Keep moving forward, be determined to accomplish all your daily goals and be consistence with your endeavors. Never give up, keep pressing forward. When things go wrong, remember there is always a way, as long as you’re committed. Keep at it, don’t loose yourenthusiasm and be diligent at all times.

Continuous Education

Charlie Jones put it this way, “You will be in five years the sum total of the books you read and the people you associate yourself with” Be eager to learn everyday. If you can find a coach or a mentor who can guide you to achieve your results, then go for it. It’s a good call! Another form of education is to read non-fiction books, listen to or watch teaching messages and attending seminars in the field of your endeavor. Make sure you spend time with successful people. You will learn a lot and get motivated to see your vision through.

Maximise Your Time

A millionaire and a broke person have the exact same amount of time every day. The only difference between the two is what they do with that time. If you want to unleash your greatness you will need to leverage and maximize your time using it in the best way possible. Set your priorities right. Outsource other aspects of your tasks if you can and work in the areas of your strengths.

The Strongest Principle of Growth Lies In Human Choice – George Elliot

Everyday offers each and everyone of us a chance to make choices. We can make choices to be financially successful, change our eating habits,exercise more, acquire knew knowledge, plus so many things. We can even decide to do nothing and maintain old habits, such as procrastinating, being lazy and so forth. We make choices!

The choices are ours to make. Many people woke up everyday frustrated about their lives. They want things to change but refuse to make the right choices to change them. They go about their day doing the same things that didn’t work yesterday, making the same decisions and choosing the wrong things such as rest instead of labor, Television instead of education, anger instead of self control, etc. Will things change? No! Life will continue to be a one big circle of misery and frustration!

There is no need to be frustrated when you have the power to make a choice and change your life. The procedures that didn’t work yesterday need not to be implemented again today. Choose life instead of death, blessing instead of curse, joy instead of misery and success instead of failure. The choice is yours to make.

Don’t let temporary pleasures stand in your way, hindering you to do what is right for the future. You have the power to make the right choices. If TV is stopping you to achieve better results, then get rid of it. Whatever it is that stands in your way, make a choice to get rid of it and move on to accomplish your important goals.

‘If you don’t like how things are, change them! You’re not a tree’, said Jim Rohn

You have the ability to totally transform every area in your life – and it all begins with your very own Power of Choice.

To Your Higher Potential
