How Do You Know When Success is About to Happen?
To many times we give up at the brink of success. All who triumph to their ultimate goals in life had to face adversity. When you about to mention those famous words, I quit. This is an indication that success is right around the corner waiting to see what the next move you will take is.
Change: When change begins to occur in your life in a positive way, don’t fight against it, grab a hold of it and don’t let go. When change makes you feel uncomfortable, don’t run from it, run towards it. When change makes you weep because of what you have to let go of, wipe your eyes and look towards where your help comes from. Towards God, because if He allows this change to occur in your life, it is because He is getting ready to bless you in a mighty way. That means that success is coming in your direction.
Difficulties: It’s so unfortunate that this is where most of the mistake has been made when it comes to succeeding in life. Do you not know that hard times and difficulties only come to prepare us for success?
Just imagine that you have been pursing you dreams for a long time, you have been focusing and moving forward with no hindrances. All of a curtain when you are about to get your lucky brake, here come all sorts of negativity and turmoil begin to happen, trying to throw you off from you God given success.
Remember this, the closer you get towards your victory in life success, the more intense and more difficult it will get for you, however, this is where you have to be strong and intensify your faith and believe that He who begins a good work is faithful to finish it.
Affliction: When we are afflicted, we have the mentality of always begging and pleading for God to remove our affliction. Of course not all affliction was meant for the purpose of success in your life, however, what the enemy meant for evil, God will use for good. If for any unfortunate reason you are afflicted in any area in you life, use that affliction to drive you into a higher way of thinking.
The enemy’s greatest attack goes towards those that God is getting ready to bless. So how do you know when success is getting ready to happen? When you are right at the point when you are getting ready to throw in the towel of defeat.
Hold on just a little while longer and let God bless you tremendously. God Bless you.

The Simple Truth about Creating an Amazing Life
We meet all sorts don’t we. And we’ve all got our own story to tell. And sometimes that story’s inspiring and engaging… and sometimes it’s not.
Is your story inspiring or not?
If you do the uninspiring story thing occasionally that’s okay. I mean, I do it, usually when I’m having an off day. And we all do this to a greater or lessor extent. We need to. Without the uninspiring and unengaging we can’t really get to know the other facets of life.
But what if you do the uninspiring, unengaged story thing too often. When we engage in the mundane and monotony, and the poor me, life has a tendency to become like the story we’re telling.
So, a few weeks ago, when I was telling myself a whole load of gloom, I caught what I was up to. At which point I yawned out loud – which was slightly embarrassing because I was in a long queue at the time.
But in another way that was good. The lady in front of me turned and smiled. “I’m glad to see I’m not the only one that’s fed up,” she said.
Now I thought this was outrageously funny. Her story was that she thought I was bored of the queue and expressing my feelings. But I was just bored of the rubbish I had going on in my head at that moment. Yawning out loud was just my way of saying to myself, “Kindly shut up and tell a more inspiring story.”
What’s more, by the time we got to the front of the queue, I’d become such good friends with the lady, she offered to pay for my drink! How amazing!
Having spent the best part of 8 years writing stories, I know how easy it is to create whatever narrative I want. I know I can just as easily write the victim as the hero. And an actor will tell you the same thing – he can just as easily play unfortunate as the amazing.
And that’s what we’re all doing all day long, writing the narrative or playing out the role according to the act we’re choosing to play.
A few months before my 40th birthday I woke up tired and fed up. I had this crazy story going on about being 40 in a couple of months and thinking about all the things I should have done by now. And I started to feel depressed – as only a pending birthday with a zero in it can do.
But then I rewrote the story. Life begins at 40… look at all these great things I haven’t experienced yet! I got on the Internet, Googled pictures of what I wanted, made a wish list, then started to rewrite the story, as though it had already happened and I was looking back telling it to my great grandchildren!
I’m not attached to having this outcome either. I mean, I don’t mind if things don’t work out the way I imagined. What I do know is that I wanted that day, and every day I live, to be happy and adventuresome.
And that’s not to say I’m not grounded in the reality of everything that’s happening around me. I’m very aware about my goals and roles and I’m also clear that I’d like to have a damn good time during the journey.
Where are you at with the story and the journey?
