Passion For Purpose
One common trait with all the people modeling success is
that they are all passionate about their purpose. It is this passion that gets
them out of bed in the morning before the alarm sounds. It is this same passion
for purpose that keeps them up late at night working when the rest of the world
is asleep. In order for you to begin living a lifestyle of success, you must
get to the point of realizing your purpose and getting passionate about
pursuing it. Passion purpose births determination, consistency and a natural
fierceness within you that never takes no for an answer and never views failure
as final. While travelling on the road to greatness, passion for purpose is
your best friend.
Belief
It has been said time and again that as a man thinketh in
his heart so is he. Your personal belief system determines who you are and what
you achieve in life. Belief in the God that created you with a purpose and with
gifts and abilities to accomplish that purpose is the fuel that keeps your
passion for purpose alive. Authentic greatness is modeled by men and women who
strive to be all that God created to be. It is an amazing fact of life that the
people who believe they can accomplish something end up accomplishing it and those
who believe they cannot accomplish something don’t acc
omplish it. In simpler terms,
what you believe becomes your life. Forming a belief system that sees
possibilities gives you the audacity to attempt the impossible and success
becomes your lifestyle.
Strategic Planning
If belief fuels your passion for purpose, strategic planning
powers belief. Strategic planning means that you put all the resources you have
together and managing them in order to live out your purpose every given day.
To me, this is success. Talents, gifts and abilities also fall under resources
and people who never learn to manage their gifts, talents and abilities never
achieve authentic success. The resources
you need to achieve the best you can be are within and around you and once you identify
them; you must have a strategic plan in order to maximize their use. Strategic planning
gives you the wisdom to look for the key that opens the door as opposed to
breaking the door in order to get through it. No one ever achieves greatness
without being excellent in strategic planning.
A clear set of values
You have the values that you live by and once these come
together they form your value system. Your value system helps you define what
is right or wrong in your day to day life. A sound value system gives you the
ability to make sober and wise judgment calls on life’s issues. This way, you
will prioritize what is essential to your success and avoid the distractions
that lie along the path that leads to authentic greatness. You must therefore
strive to protect your heart as this is what helps you live out those values.
All the issues of life spring forth from the heart. The more you interact with God;
His Holy Spirit brings out the fruit of the Spirit in you. The fruit of the
Spirit is a depiction of all the values that will keep your success going through
authentic relationships with people.
Take Action
A very high level of passion for purpose, the best strategic
planning, the right belief system and a sound value system will never produce
greatness until you take action. You need energy and its twin brother
enthusiasm in order to take action on your purpose in order to produce certain
and specific results. In order to continually take action on a consistent
basis, you must find ways to keep energized and enthusiastic every given day. Greatness
belongs to those who wake up every morning to take action that lead to the
accomplishment of goals. With energy and enthusiasm, your passion for purpose
will never die.
Worthwhile
relationships
All the success in the world will never be worth anything if
you don’t have authentic relationships. The bonds you form with your friends
and family create the platform for you to build and share your greatness and
success. The platform also gives you cushioning against the disappointments and
setbacks of life. A careful study of men and women who have achieved authentic
success will show that they have developed worthwhile relationships and these
keep them going. If you achieve personal success and have no worthwhile and
authentic relationships, you will be a lonely recluse and sink into depression
easily.
Mentorship
So long as your success remains personal, you will never
ascend to the heights of legendary greatness. Authentic success and greatness is
marked by you mentoring other people to become the best they can be. Zig Ziglar
says that if you help other people get what they want, you will eventually get
what you want. It is when you begin depositing your passion for purpose, belief
system, value system, philosophy and principles that you begin t cause change
in the lives of others. You do this by using the talents, gifts and abilities
that God has given you. The more you mentor other people to success, you become
iconic and sooner or later, you will find your way into history books.
What are you waiting for? See you at the peak of legendary
greatness.
