Success is Intentional!

Hi there, 

When I woke up this morning, it felt as if I should just sleep some more or not get out of bed at all. So it looks everyday of the week, most times I don't feel like waking up to do anything. Let me just lie all day on the bed like that. But in spite of this, I get up anyway. Though I didn't feel like going out and beginning the day's work, I get on with it anyway. That must be your attitude too, if you are really determined to fulfill your dreams. It's not hard to dream, anyone can relax all day and day dream about how his/her future should look like. We love fantasizing about the kind of things we would love to have and get done. But fantasizing doesn't get the job done, it's going out there and doing something about it that matters.

Yes I know, you don't feel like doing the things that are necessary to fulfill those dreams, and if you would ask most successful folks out there, they don't feel so too at the start, but they get on with it anyway. That's what being intentional means. You are not your feelings or emotions, so they shouldn't determine how your days should look like. Your emotions shouldn't be on the driver's seat of your life, else that life is heading for a crash. Now don't get me wrong, emotions itself are not wrong. if it were wrong, then our creator wouldn't have given them to us. Emotions are powerful, they are our self motivators to getting things done. They are what makes us human and that's the difference between us and beast. But we must be in control of them and it not being in control of us. We must redirect it, to do our biddings and not we surrendering to its whims.

If your desire is to go to school, then take up that book and start preparing towards it. If you desire to be in a new relationship, make yourself friendly and get rid of all those hateful emotions that makes people run away from you. If your desire is to change jobs or earn more than you are earning right now, then you need to grow your capacity for handling problems, because that is commensurate with the earnings you get. Do whatever is necessary everyday, that will move towards the attainment of your dreams. Yes you may not feel like it, but do it anyway. You are a born success!

Do have a glorious weekend!
