The Secret To Success?

The Secret To Success?

We have seen so many books over the years that is purported to have the secret to success. Admittedly I have read many of these books that gives the steps to accomplish, which leads to success. If you have read any of these books, you know they have a lot of helpful information.

I read a statement from a gentleman who has had tremendous success in his life and he said something interesting, “There are no secrets to success: Don’t waste time looking for them. Success is the result of perfection, hard work, learning from failure, loyalty to those for whom you work, and persistence.” The gentleman who made this statement was U.S. Army General (retired) Colin Powell.

Mr. Powell stated some powerful thoughts for us to consider. He said, Success is the result of “perfection”. I am unable to find an explanation as to why he said that. I am imagining it points to how focused you are, in reaching your goal. Hard work is a given, if you wish to be successful, there is no way around that. When you fail, learn what went wrong and how to correct it so it won’t happen again. Being loyal to those you work for is helpful. If they want to succeed they will give you the tools to accomplish the job and if you do your part to complete what has to be done, success will be yours! Persistence is imperative if you want to see a successful result. We have to keep at it! Don’t stop!

If you hear someone stating they have the secret to success, tell them you already know the secret, “There are no secrets to success!” Put in the hard work, be persistent, learn from failure and look for success.


Allow your life to make an impact, whether or not you become World famous. To the one person you impact, it will mean the World! To me, that is Success!

Perspective

In each situation in our lives we react a certain way to what is happening, in many cases reacting differently than other people. Why do we react differently than others? It is perspective!     Perspective is defined as “a particular attitude toward or way of regarding something; a point of view.” In a light hearted way, (in some cases) a football game comes to mind. You may be pulling for your favorite team and your good friend is pulling for the opposing team. Each of you are pulling for your team with all your might. At the end of the game, one of the teams prevails while the other team is dejected over the loss.   If your team won and your friends team lost. You are thrilled, your friend not so much. From your perspective it is awesome to have a win, your friend isn’t happy at all. Why? It is from the perspective you are coming from. You may have a particular point of view concerning a matter and many around you don’t share your view. You think in the manne...

Your Thought Life

It is interesting to me, how we don’t realize that how we think, affects our lives. We make most of our decisions based on what we ponder. Consider how much you dwell on a particular thought and at some point you make plans on how you will make it happen.  You possibly have thought on a matter so intently, that you start making hand motions or your foot moves as if you are actually doing what you are only thinking about. Your thoughts are actually very powerful. It is the genesis of any action you take. Books have been written on what effects our thinking can accomplish. Possibly one of the better known books on the subject is “Think And Grow Rich” written by Napoleon Hill. The book was first released in the 1930’s and changed the trajectory of many lives. Many of the concepts are found in the Word of God, the writer only acknowledges the fact in rare mentions. Another source that is out there is the Master Key System. It follows the same concept as the book “Think And...
