I believe that every time we follow the leading of our 'giftings', we go somewhere nobody has gone and set a new trail for others to follow, as far as success is concerned, There is more to life than just making a living! We certainly need to make a difference with our lives. Our lives should make a statement to our world
The value our lives command is tied to the vacuum that our absence creates. Therefore, we must consciously build a great legacy starting
NOW, TODAY AND EVERYDAY!
What is popular may not even be proper, so why do we get lost in the crowd? Lots of people have lost their relevance by following the crowd, in a bid to secure acceptance, maintain the status - quo, or secure approval from people that we do not really need to. Instead of following the crowd, why not gather our own crowd?
Do we really realize that "what is popular may not be proper"?
We must choose to take a stand, even if it means standing alone. In the real sense I feel that is what it means to be Out-Standing, i.e Standing Out!
We definitely need an 'unbendable' will to win!
We need to be part of the people who know what they want in life and also go for what they want.
Someone once said, "if your presence is not felt and your absence is not noticed, then your presence was not needed." Already, we are now missing some persons in different works of life, while they are yet alive.
We must leave a signature on earth that we were once here. We must leave foot prints in the sands of posterity. Indeed, to live beyond yourself is to live beyond your time, and to live for self is to live as a slave! You will agree with me that Mother Theresa needs no introduction. She didnt have so much money, but the world has refused to forget her after her death..
We must deliberately embrace the right influence and avoid the wrong influence. We must select our relationships carefully, avoiding those that violate our principles, and embracing those who reinforce our decisions.
Dont simply aspire to make a living, aspire to make a difference
SUCCEED!
