Today, I want to briefly talk about
success. Everybody wants success and it is pursued sometime with much valour.
I have this Bible character whose success
was built on how he rustle with people .There I will dwell my discussion on
the point that success cannot be attained as a lone ranger. David Jesse a name
which many people will not like
to call 1“An Chronicle 11:8b had the best with him. "...Joab repaired the rest of the city" and also in verse 10, that “these also are
the chief of the mighty men who
David had, who strengthened themselves
with him in his kingdom…”
These three man were of Joab, Eleazer and Jeshobean, these
amongst the thirty captains
were about to conquer together with
David himself their enemies.
Three principles will be discussed in the
post:
- Communal success
- Timely success
- Self portrayal
The chief of these three is the self. The
best determination is that one which is given and taken by oneself. Making sure
that one live his/her best is the strategy that takes one to the desired
destination.
In
all sense; this is saying one must Shun mediocrity in order to be listed among the
best. I have this powerful quote that has helped me in all my endeavour; “knowing
your responsibility and becoming responsive to it is a great deal.”
As
human, one has a responsibility or the other to adhere to: you now therefore
delve into action and bring such to a finish and by the time you identify your
responsibility and you become proactive towards it, it will be done with ease.
But unrealistic enough it will be, whenever
we try to be self sufficient, all-knowing and become a lone ranger that takes
us to the next point.
Communal success alongside self portrayal
of success takes one to the top of the hill to be seen by everyone. As the
popular saying goes, “no one is an islander, of success, for ages, communal
effort brings about rapid development of firstly individuals and collectively
as a community.
All the same, it goes beyond finding
yourself in the midst of people, or a community. The best in its entirety is
being in the midst of people who are known for their best result.
“Make the friend of a fool and you’ will
become foolish, but bring in the wise and success will follow you.
In the opening stage of this post, we
highlighted the character of the day. David, we saw how he was able to succeed
as a result of the company he Kept. So also if you want to be successful, you
must be found in the midst of those who are known for their successes.
The third part which is the timely success
otherwise known as the quick turn over, is the one people rush after. Being successful with the quick syndrome
is good enough.
One thing that people do not under is that
success has two facets, on one hand success has fulfillment and on the other
hand, success that is built on the contemporaries. This type of success doesn’t
last, it only came for as a passing wind which quickly goes away.
Let our faith be built on what can last for
eternity and the period which we would live in the earth. It is on this ground that success cannot be
equated with fulfillment. On a high note, it is better to be fulfilled than be
successful without fulfillment.
We shall go extra-mile in discussing how
these two phenomena- Success and Fulfillment have their separate different ends,
keep tight and be expecting the next update.
Should you have any opinion, question, or
comment, feel free to do so.
Nice One
