STOP WAITING FOR NEW RULES!

One major reason why many people have not started making progress is because they are still searching, researching, studying and analyzing what rules to follow to have success in life.

Well, it may interest you to know that the success principles that has existed from time immemorial are still the rules you require to succeed. Many of the new rules that are taught as new discoveries today are best described as new methods.

Laws and principles are constant. They do not change. The method may change, but principles are universal.

For example, for a car to move, you must kickstart it. That's the principle. The method of kick-starting the car may differ from one car to another. One could use a remote control, while another may use key or just a button. The principle is that, the ignition must be on for the car to move.

To succeed, stop waiting to discover new rules and principles. Align with age long principles that are tested and trusted. The same principle through which many have succeeded ahead of you. If you keep waiting to discover new rules and regulations before you start working and walking your way to success, you won't do anything and you won't become anything.

Below are some of the places where you can find these age long unchanging principles:

1. On the pages of the scripture – Across the pages of the scripture are timeless laws through which God sustains the world we live in. Do yourself a favor dig in an align your life with them.

2. Books- Good books help you experience how others have worked these principles and the result. A good book will save you from learning from your own mistakes and shorten your journey to success.

3. Past and present successful leaders- Success leaves clues. Pay close attention to those who are truly successful in the area you are considering. What principles have they worked and are working that are responsible for their success?

There’s no magic anywhere. There’s no new rule for success. All you need is within and around you!

YOUR GENDER IS NOT A DANGER TO YOUR AGENDA

There are ladies who think that being a female is a disadvantage. They believe the world favors men over women. To them, it’s a world where only men dominate, rule and win. Such women always believe that women are marginalized, cheated by nature, and subdued. Therefore, they constantly feel compelled to prove a point.

For this set of women, their gender has become a danger to their agenda in life. They go about with victim's mentality and personality.

Look around you and see women who are shattering the proverbial glass ceiling and scaling greater heights. Observe women in different spheres of life who are breaking limits and setting global records of unprecedented achievements.

If you are feeling limited, inadequate, and insufficient for your agenda in life, I can assure you that it is not because of your gender. It is because of your mindset.

The dominion mandate was given to both genders, male and female.

Are you even aware of God’s agenda for your life? Do you sense that you have a global assignment? Were you raised for such a time as this?

It is time to rise up and do whatever you’ve been called to do. No more excuses! Stop thinking your gender can pose any danger. No! In fact, you were designed for your assignment- gender, looks, personality and all!

DON'T JOKE WITH YOUR PEN!

“There are a thousand thoughts lying within a man that he does not know till he takes up a pen to write.” – Williams Makepeace Thackeray.

An important attribute of most great people is their love for writing! Yes, great people befriend their pens. They may not necessarily be authors, but they write!

So many great brands today dropped into people's heart as mere thoughts. Only that the thinkers were fast and wise enough to write the thoughts (ideas) down, fine-tuned them and began taking actions on them.

Here are two reasons why you should not joke with your pen this year:

1) THE INCREASE YOU PRAYED FOR IS COMING IN SEED FORM OF AN IDEA

If you made powerful declaration into the new year, wrote growth goals, made resolutions or prayed for an enlarged coast, watch out, your answers will begin to drop in form of ideas. Now, what you do when the ideas come to you is what matters. Some fantasize with it until it fizzles away, some discard it due to unbelief, some unconsciously give it away prematurely through excessive talking, while some capture and nurture it until fruitfulness.

2) THE IDEA YOU CAPTURE IS THE ONE YOU NURTURE.

We all have great ideas lurking in our subconscious mind. It takes a pen to lift those ideas from our subconscious minds into reality. Once captured, it begins to grow and expand every time you meditate on it.

There is a flow of creativity that accompany putting your thoughts/ Ideas on paper. It opens up, it becomes clearer. All of a sudden it begins to take on flesh unlike the abstract form in your mind. You find words to communicate it and actionable steps begin to emerge.

As simple as this is, it could be instrumental to your breakthrough this year. If you cultivate the habit of writing down the ideas running through your mind, especially in your time of meditation, you will soon see yourself taking actions that will lead you into unfathomable results.

Remember, success begins with an idea. Be careful not to let inspired ideas slip off your mind without penning them down.

Cultivate the habit of making use of your pen this year. As you pray, meditate, read, and engage in meaningful conversations, God will be releasing great ideas, solutions, information into your heart. Catching them with your pen is up to you.

You might not need all what you wrote but there might just be that one idea you have written that will liberate you.

An old Chinese proverb says that “the faintest pen is more powerful than the strongest memory."

If you want to be taken seriously this year, don’t joke with your pen!
