If we desire to live a successful life then we must learn to
trust in God’s wisdom and acknowledge Him in all of our ways, seeking to follow
His instruction for all of lives answers and not to lean on their own
understanding. We must be willing to work hard and be determined never to give
up.
Below are some Tips on how to achieve good success.
Making God a part of your everyday life
God wants to help you, not just in the big things; God wants
to help you cooking dinner, driving in the traffic. He wants to help you with your school work,
help you be more productive at the office. But God will only be involved in as
much of your life as you allow Him to. A
lot of people have God in a Sunday morning box; that’s when they come to
church, pray, think about God. During
the week, they don’t really include God in their life. When you acknowledge
God, He breathes His favor on your life.it doesn’t have to be some long,
drawn-out thing: brushing your teeth in
the morning, “Lord, thank you for another beautiful day.” You just acknowledged God. Driving in the traffic, “Lord, thank you for
a safe trip.” That’s acknowledging God. When God sees you showing your dependency on
Him like that, relying on Him in your everyday life, that’s what’ll cause Him
to make your life easier. If you’ll acknowledge God, He’ll go before you and
make crooked places straight, He’ll cause the right people to show up, open
doors that you could not open, crown your efforts with success. this is something we shouldn’t do every once
in a while, on Sundays we’ll pray, maybe before dinner we’ll thank God for the
food, that’s all good, but God wants to help you all through the day.
Proverbs 3:6
6 In all your ways acknowledge Him,
And He shall direct your paths.
Procrastinating
The difference between successful and unsuccessful people is
that first works extra hard to succeed, while last only dream of success.
So many reasons can make us procrastinate: you could be
afraid of the outcome, or unsure how to complete the task, or you just don’t
feel like taking action. But the worst thing about doing nothing is nothing
changes. At all. And putting something overwhelming off doesn’t make it
disappear – it makes it even scarier and harder to do.
If procrastination is a habit of yours – get rid of it ASAP.
What you need to do is to work on your discipline. Yes, it is hard. Yes, it is
stressful. But isn’t doing things at the last moment more stressful? Start with
breaking your work on small tasks or periods of time. And don’t concentrate on
how you will manage to finish it, think about simply making first step. At
first you’ll need to force yourself to get started, but, according to science
it takes only 21 days to form a new habit. Start today and in 3 weeks you will
become a much happier person.
Putting The Blame On Others And Making Excuses
At some points in life we all face problems, troubles,
failures and just unhappiness causes. For better or worse, going through tough
times is an inevitable part of life. But the difference between every one of us
is HOW we deal with the tough thing life throws at us. Some people seek for
positive moments even in when no one else does. And some choose to blame
everyone and everything in the Universe for what goes wrong in their life. But
such approach doesn’t only make the situation even more depressing – it holds
you from finding the way out of it.
If you tend to put the blame on everyone except you – it’s
time to admit that you are actually responsible for the things that happen in
your life – or at least how you react to some things – and that blaming others
will get you nowhere. You and only you are responsible for your life choices
and decisions
Avoiding Changes
However good or bad a situation is now, it will change.
That’s the one thing you can count on. Trying to avoid changes is like trying
to avoid sunrise – it still will happen, no matter how hard you try. So just
stop. This amazingly useless habit only takes away your energy and makes you
worry about everything. Embrace change and realize it happens for a reason. It
won’t always be obvious at first, but in the end it will be worth it.
Trying to Control the Uncontrollable
One of the worst habits that stand in your way of becoming
happy person is trying to take control of things that are simply not be
controlled. Sometimes we all hate being useless and tend to worry about things
that we can’t control. But if it tunes into a habit – you are setting yourself
up for a lifetime of frustration and misery. Real life situations happens and
it can come in many ways like Chaos at work, Complexity of managing a career,
Uncertainty in a relationship.
Accept the simple truth: You control your actions. You
control your thoughts. These are things you ought to be worried about – not
trying to control the way life will revolve around you. So you have to learn to
stop trying so hard to control the uncontrollable. Instead, start focusing on
the one thing that can be controlled: you. And your actions.
Devaluing Yourself
Negative self-talk leads to fear, uncertainty, and
self-doubt, which leads to – you guessed it – more negative self-talk. The
result is a vicious circle ,we should be our biggest cheerleader. No one out
there knows us better than we know ourselves. We have to love ourselves first
in order to accept people in our lives worthy of loving us the way we deserve.
Stop putting yourself down. The great thing about our voice is that we can
choose how we use it. What we say, it is up to us. So relax your standards just
a little. If you give yourself the same empathy you’d show a friend, it will be
so much easier to become happier.
Devaluing Others
Criticizing others for the smallest things is devastating –
both for you and the people you point your fingers at. Criticism is a
destructive behavior that can be stopped easily if you only become aware of it
and express an inner will to change it. Stopping the cycle of criticism will
enable you to enjoy yourself more around other people, you will be able to
deepen your connections with others (especially the ones you love), you will be
happier in social situations, and your inner satisfaction about yourself will
increase
Allowing Fears Hold You Back
Fear is very much real, and don’t look down on yourself for
feeling it; but if you want to have a chance at happiness, you should put fear
in its place – behind you. Take that step forward, and don’t let your fear(s)
hold you back from doing something that you believe is true or right. In the
end, there is only one thing that makes a dream completely impossible to
achieve: Lack of action based on the fear of failure.
Living In The Past/Future/Another Place
Not only does being distracted take away from being able to
enjoy the moment, it usually leads to trying to multitask, which has been shown
to increase stress and actually decrease productivity. When you find yourself
thinking about the future or past, stop and take a few deep breaths to help you
re-center yourself in the moment. Don’t cry over the past, it’s gone. Don’t
stress too much about the future, it hasn’t arrived. Do your best to live NOW
and make this moment worth living.
Caring Too Much About What Others Might Think
To a certain degree, we all care about what others think.
And that’s good. In a way, the opinion of others – especially those whom we
love and respect – helps us stay on the right track However, if you’re making
decisions and doing things because you think that’s what this person or that
person will think is right all the time, STOP. You are not in this world to
live up to other people’s expectations. It’s your life. Don’t care too much
what other people will say as long as you know in your heart it’s what you want
and/or right for you.
Being Ungrateful
No matter how good or bad you have it, wake up each day
thankful for your life. Someone somewhere else is desperately fighting for
theirs. Instead of thinking about what you’re missing, try thinking about what
you have that everyone else is missing.
