Success and Now

Success and now
By Bassey Ndon


Success is simple. Do what's right, the right way, at the right time.
We see success based on activity that comes out well. Success exceeds the activity, it begins with the process. With the desire to start and the process you undertake you have engaged in success. Success is half done when you start off. We have to start now. A Chinese Proverb goes like this “The best time to plant a seed and grow a tree was 20 years ago; the second best time is now." Someone wrote this : We spend our entire life wondering why we didn't do this and didn't do that, YOU ARE NOT DEAD! Maybe we did not accomplish something in the past but who says you can't do it now?
Let us say it this way. Nobody becomes anything without starting off with out the necessary tools. What you need to make it this year is to begin. Start something bigger than you.
“The only thing that stands between a person and what they want from life is often the will to try it and the faith to believe it's possible. What is possible is what you believe, not what you see. You decide your fate. What most people do today is that they take in defeat before defeat arrives. They are defeated before trying. “The belief in your vision is the key to creating your own destiny!" Defeat beckons unbelievers. You cannot accept defeat when you can succeed. Defeat can’t be your portion this year.

We have to see our success like the fire within us that burns within and then fulfil that passion, the craving s for success. Ashwin Ganesh says " The steeper the challenge, the deeper I plunge. Often the only challenge we cannot live up to is the one we set for ourselves. The only hard thing to please is the fire within you." Kimerly Adamson affirms this by saying ” When you want your goal badly enough, feel the intensity of it, let it fuel your waking thoughts and actions, let it influence you in all ways possible and let nothing get in the way of achieving

You need to begin right away. Procrastination is the thief of time. It destroys great men and great dreams. People who procrastinate never actualize great dreams. Dreamers don’t postpone their dreams . To say I will do it another time is to say I will be my dream in the other world.
You need to take you time to succeed by taking great steps. “Focus on your inner potent powers rather than your limitations." A limitation is really what we call limitation. To another it is an opportunity
