Devoted

In order to enter into destiny, one must be willing to be devoted. To be devoted means "To vow". Being devoted means to make a personal commitment. When you are committed, you are married to it. Whatever you are married to, you become one with it. When you are devoted to your destiny, you are married to it. You must become one with your destiny. Why is this necessary? When you become ONE with something, you do not allow anything or anyone to come between you and your destiny.

Moving to Success!

Have you ever thought about being successful? Success is available to everyone who is willing to do the things necessary to move towards it. True Success is not accumulation of things, but a revelation of movement. Success is about movement, moving towards accomplishing set goals in your life. There is a principle in the Bible, Joshua 1:8 (Read it). The principle is:

To become=To know (Principles)+ To do (Preparation)

To Become Successful in anything; your life, job, relationship or work, You must be willing to learn new principles. Remember the saying; "Insanity is doing the same thing and expecting different results". Success starts by learning new principles, new paradigms. Once the new principles are process into your mind, now it's time to start preparing. Preparing is doing things different. It is changing old habits, old routines. Preparing is cultivating the new principle in your life.

Here is a example; I want To Become Successful in Swimming

To Know (Principles)- What are the vital principles I need to learn in order to become a better swimmer? (Research the info, ask a skilled swimmer, take classes etc...)

To do (Preparation)- What must I do to apply these new principles? (Practice several times a week, Hire a swim coach and try out at swim meets)

When your new principles meets preparation, then a DOOR (Designated Opportunities Openly Revealed) will open for you to enter into Success!

Time of Reflection

Why is so important to take time to REFLECT? Reflect means to bend back and trace your steps to see where you are and to determine where you're going. If a person does not reflect, they will end up where they do not want to be and blame someone else for it.

I want to encourage you to take some time and answer these Reflection questions;

1. Are you fulfilled in your life? Do you enjoy what you do for a living?

2. Do you know your purpose? Do you really know why you exist on this earth?

3. What is one of your biggest dreams and what is preventing you from fulfilling it?

4. Are you making progress, being productive in your life or are you just standing still, wondering around?
