Perfect conditions do not exist anywhere. That is why
princes and princesses marry non royalty. Therefore, take advantage of the
opportunities at your disposal to create your supposed perfect conditions.
Spend quality time with knowledgeable and open minded
people. Apart from the benefit of learning from them, their open mindedness’ to
new ideas will give a boost to your ideas. Knowledgeable people are also secure
people who are not intimidated by the success of other people. They are people
you need in your journey to share your ideas, successes and challenges with.
They will encourage and most often give you great counsel if they understand
the dynamics of the industry you are in. You need them.
Avoid people who are stuck in a rut – people who hold
on to established ways of doing things that yield zero and negative results.
Avoid people who are fiercely opposed to new ideas.
This is because they never see good in the new things that are happening and
bringing about transformation in the lives of people and businesses. Do not
partner with them whether in business or ministry.
Avoid people who always feel intimidated and insecure
when their authority is challenged because new ideas are proposed.
Avoid ignorant people who do not want to learn. You do
not need them in your train as their ignorance can derail your train.
Proud people always end up as obstacles in your
pathway and clog your progress. Run away from them. Please see Proverbs Chapter
16 verse 5.
Contentious people always rock the boat. You do not
want your boat to capsize in mid sea.
Stubborn people will not move you anywhere. Their
stubbornness is usually clogs in the wheel of progress. Who needs clogs when
the world is literally traveling at the speed of light?
Avoid people who have no confidence in themselves and
have no desire to build their self confidence. They have only one desire in life
– to humiliate people; kill their self confidence. You do not need such people
around you for anything as they may affect you negatively if you are not an
emotionally strong person.
Envious people are a death trap, a death knell. Avoid
them as they usually have a mission of destroying whatever or whoever they are
envious of. The chief priest handed Jesus over to Pilate because they were
envious of him. Please see Mark Chapter 15 verse 10. The brothers of Joseph
allowed their envy of Joseph degenerate to hatred. Consequently, they attempted
to kill Joseph but were restrained by Reuben. Even then, they went ahead and
sold Joseph to Ishmaelite traders. Please see Genesis Chapter 37 for details. Envy
was also the reason that the Philistines envied Isaac and drove him from their
land because he was more prosperous than them. Please see Genesis Chapter 26
verses 12 to 31.
