Positive Change for Success

"Pray as if everything depend on God and
act as if everything depends on you"----Anonymous



According to Mark Twain; there is no sadder sight than a young pessimist; Pessimistic people are guaranteed a mediocre existence, because of their negative beliefs. Excellence performance stem from possessing the most updated set of positive beliefs. Your set of beliefs or your mindset is a pointer to the direction your life is headed. Whatever seems like a failure around you is most likely to be the result of an action or a set of actions that stem from your beliefs. If you try something and do not get the outcome you want, it’s simply feedback, and it doesn’t mean you have failed, because, every adversity in your life has a seed of an equivalent or greater benefit. So if you can change your beliefs and improve your actions steps you will get a better result. Actually, there is nothing like failure, you only have negative or unsatisfactory results, which is always subject to change, if you dare to persist. New results are products of new and insightful actions.

Success in any field of human endeavor is the ability to keep changing your set of actions in order to achieve a specific result that is consistent with your expectations. It can also be define as the art of insisting on a particular fundamental updated belief through your actions so that you can elicit a pre-determined outcome. Changing actions or improving actions before eliciting the pre-determined results is what scientists termed experimentations. Every scientific theory therefore, is the conclusion derived from experimentations of different alternatives.
Ask yourself what course of actions you have been taking recently without accomplishing your pre-determined objectives? Maybe you need to change that course of action. Chang brings progress. Change brings improvement. Change brings development. Every improvement in life is the result of positive changes, if you are afraid of failure; lean. If you are afraid of poverty; invest. If you are afraid of stagnation; improve your skills. Improvement or positive changes are inevitable, if we must grow.
Change itself is determined by your ability to accept new and larger possibilities. Having an open mind to accept change therefore, is the basis of success. Just as every scientific advancement originates from thoughtful inspiration, which is backed up with corresponding experimentation. So also, change begins from the mind after being inspired on a different course of action. According to Job 32 Vs. 8; "… there is a spirit in man and the inspiration of the Almighty giveth them understanding." I pray that your understanding will open up to the immense benefits of godly inspiration. This blog is also a product of inspiration.
Whenever you are inspired to change your course of action, do not delay. Delayed action is delayed accomplishment. That is why scientist are always experimenting after their thoughts are inspired because; whatever is worth doing, is not only worth doing well but also worth doing quickly. We are in the second half of the year 2008. Review your "new your resolutions" that that were set at the beginning of the year. How far have you accomplished? If your percentage of attainment is low, then you need to change or improve the sets of actions that have produced the low level accomplishments. You need to fine tune your strategies and modify your actions to get a better result before the end of the year.
For instance, if your goal at the beginning of the year is to diversify your investment and increase your portfolio income before the middle of the year and you have just discovered that you are far from achieving it, it could be an indication that you have been spending more than you have been investing. You need to reverse that order, quickly. Quick success demands strong focus. Focus your attention on your goals. The secret of financial success can be summed up as follows; "it is either you are making money or spending money". If you are in the process of outspending your income, then your are already distracted from making money. That is why the money makers (the rich) are getting richer and the money spenders (the poor and the middle class) are getting poorer, by accumulating debts.
You have every opportunity now to change your beliefs, your perspective and your action plan to achieve all your goals and resolutions before the end of this year. Act fast. Be positive minded and improve on your present course of actions, so that you can end the year a proud person. Success is yours for taking.
