“The hand of the diligent shall bear rule: but the slothful shall be under tribute.”
Proverbs 12:24
Today, I will like to challenge you to determine in your heart that you will not settle for a life of mediocrity. Have you seen Nick Vujicic? He was born without hands. All he has is only one tiny leg, yet he is not poor today. He swims, he writes, he is a motivational speaker, he is married with children, he has spoken to thousands of people again and again even as he remains an inspiration to millions around the world. He did not allow his physical challenges to limit him. He did not determine his potential by what he looked like outwardly. So what excuse would you want to give on why you are not a success?
Zig Ziglar said, “A man is no failure until he begins to blame someone for where he is.” So, success begins with a sense of responsibility. One of the wealthiest women in America is black, from a very poor background yet she is a billionaire in dollars. She said she made up her mind to give a hundred and ten percent to everything she does. She said so because she knew that excellence is the greatest deterrent to sexism and racism.
Don't say words like, “If I was from a wealthy home, I know the way my life would have been by now.” Being born from a wealthy home does not mean you will get anywhere if you have the wrong mindset. Now you are already here, so do something with your life. There are a lot of people who started from very poor homes but became very great.
Lester Calvin Brown was said to be mentally retarded and he saw himself and judged himself that way until he met an Algebra teacher who said to him, “Do not allow someone else's opinion of you become your reality.” This is because the way you see yourself is what decides the way you will act. Today, Lester Calvin Brown reads four books every week. Every time he is invited to speak for about 45 minutes to one hour, he is paid four hundred and fifty thousand dollars.
He was said to have been mentally retarded, but when he took responsibility by changing the view of himself and started reading, he became a success. That can also be your story if you do likewise.
Confession.
I declare that I am a success because I am a child of God. I can do all things through Christ which strengthens me. I have a sound mind, the mind of Christ, mental sagacity that surpasses human intelligence and nothing shall be impossible unto me in Jesus' Name. Amen.
