Break barriers, leapfrog limitations, rein in your
thoughts and emotions, refuse to be overwhelmed and overburdened by situations
that appear to be challenging and intimidating by controlling your thoughts and
emotions and focusing on your God given goal to succeed in His plans and
purposes for your life. Please see Joshua Chapter 1 verse 8, Deuteronomy
Chapter 28 verses 12 to 13.
Ignore catcalls and sniggers, whispers, deliberate
provocations from people and situations determined to stop you from making
progress. Instead, pay attention to your goal. Nehemiah ignored all the
contrivances of Sanballat, Tobiah, Geshem and their other cohorts. The gates of
Jerusalem were rebuilt and repaired. Please see the book of Nehemiah. Ezra and
his fellow workmen under the leadership of Zerubabbel, Governor of Judah
completed the task of rebuilding the temple in Jerusalem despite the stiff
opposition to the task. They chose to and dared to succeed. Please read the
entire book of Ezra for great insight into this amazing story of a people’s
determination and courage to succeed in spite of all odds.
Success does not come cheap. It is usually fraught
with challenges every step of the way. You therefore need to develop a healthy
self image of yourself as self confidence is a major criterion for success. It
is a fundamental principle of success and also a major secret to success. This
is because how you see and feel about yourself has a tremendous impact on your
success as well as how you will set out to achieve purpose and fulfill divine
destiny.
A healthy self esteem based on who God says you are
in His Word will mobilize you to engage in successful activities and
relationships. Therefore, do not give room to poor self esteem irrespective of
whatever the circumstances are, how negative past experiences were and what
people say about you. Rather, focus on who and what God says about you which is
a true reflection of who you are - a lender to the nations, the head and not
the tail, a royal priesthood, a holy nation and a peculiar people. See you at
Success Street. Shalom.
