\"\"<\/a>I learned long ago that almost everyone is more than capable of becoming successful.\u00a0 Certainly they are all well qualified to become successful.\u00a0 You may ask How can that be?\u00a0 Because God made them all and He equipped every one of His creations for a successful purpose.\u00a0 Oh sure, they may not all be pretty and trim.\u00a0 Some don\u2019t look as sharp or are as well mannered as others.\u00a0 The facts are that we all look different on the outside….But….God made us all the same on the inside…and… Success is an inside-out proposition for sure. \u00a0 It is not the color of the helium-filled balloons that make them rise. It is only that which is inside (the helium) that causes them to rise above the others.<\/span><\/p>\n

So the real question that has to be answered,…and it can only be answered by the involved person,… is are you willing to change and grow into a wiser and more knowledgeable person than you are right now?\u00a0 Are you willing to put forth the required effort to grow and develop that which God has already given you into something more than you are right now?\u00a0 No one can answer those questions for you.\u00a0 Only you can answer those questions for yourself. \u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Change seems to be something most folks are afraid to do or go through.\u00a0 I do not know why it is such a big deal.\u00a0 Change is inevitable.\u00a0 We all are going through the process of change each day of our lives. \u00a0 Every cell in your body is replaced annually.\u00a0 Things in your life are always changing.\u00a0 Maybe it is because you don\u2019t believe that you can change or you simply don\u2019t want to go through the necessary changes that you already know you will have to address after you begin your new growth process.\u00a0 I don\u2019t really know why people fight change so furiously, I just know they do.\u00a0 The fact of the matter is that it really makes no difference why they fight it.\u00a0 If you want things to be different than they presently are,…..then something has to change.\u00a0 In all probability the most likely thing that needs to change is you!<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Well now, let\u2019s really think this predicament through.\u00a0 If it is you who needs to change in order to give yourself the opportunity to bring new\u00a0<\/span>and better things into your life, then why are you fighting it?\u00a0 How about just accepting it as it really is,….and get about starting the process of making changes in your life!\u00a0 If it is you who needs to change, then get after changing!\u00a0 You are an adult,…start acting like one!\u00a0 You are the only person on earth that can change you.\u00a0 You are the one person who is totally responsible to make the appropriate changes in yourself.\u00a0 Grow up!\u00a0 Take the leadership role!\u00a0 Start changing your life by making new and better decisions than you have made up this point in your life.\u00a0 Quit whining and quit waiting for someone else to do things for you! \u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

There is no such thing as surrogate success.\u00a0 Successful thoughts, deeds, and actions on your part is just like going to the bathroom…..it is one of those things that you have to do for yourself….no one else can do it for you.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Take a moment and examine the word SU<\/span>CCESS.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The real secret to the word and the whole process of achieving it, lies in the second letter of the word.\u00a0 YOU are the secret.\u00a0 The secret was placed inside of you at conception by your heavenly creator….God <\/span>
\n Almighty.\u00a0 He makes no junk.\u00a0 He designed you just the way you are…perfect in His eyes to achieve and accomplish His preplanned purpose for your life.\u00a0 Quit making excuses with your limp-legged reasons as to why you can\u2019t do something.\u00a0 You are just as capable of accomplishing great and wonderful things in your life as anyone else who has ever been created before you.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Successful oriented people live their lives from the perspective of Abundance<\/i>.\u00a0 They make a lot of things happen for their own benefit and for that of other people.\u00a0 They also make a lot of money.\u00a0 They use their wealth wisely and properly, and they are greatly blessed by their Creator for using their lives just they way they were given them.\u00a0 Their rewards are great and they will receive a \u201cwell done\u201d after their lives on this earth come to an end.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Failures, on the other hand, live their lives from the perspective of Scarcity.\u00a0 <\/i>They just always are making Excuses.\u00a0 They are always\u00a0<\/span>suffering from great \u201clack\u201d of almost everything in their lives.\u00a0 They are usually extremely selfish people.\u00a0 They are always worried about their finances and everything always costs too much. They are much more interested in helping themselves than they are helping and serving others.\u00a0 They never come close to becoming the person God intended them to be because they live in fear,…they worry about things they cannot control, and they spend their lives making excuses…..instead of making anything of significance happen……thereby leaving no time or room to get about achieving the purpose that their God had originally placed in them when they were conceived.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Ideas, actions, and choices all carry with them,….consequences.\u00a0 Great consequences.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Always remember,…You have the ability and the authority to choose your own actions and circumstances…..BUT….. You cannot ever choose your own consequences!\u00a0 God Almighty is in charge of that.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Like begats like.\u00a0 Good ideas carry with them good consequences,…and bad choices carry with them,….bad consequences.\u00a0 It is your choice.\u00a0 It is all up to You!<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

If you truly desire to become successful in your own chosen field of endeavor, then simply discover what is required to achieve that which you want, and then make a decision and get started toward your chosen destination immediately! If you have decided to become what you truly desire to be, then get on with doing what is required to accomplish your desires.\u00a0 What are you waiting for? Begin to grow and change.\u00a0 Don\u2019t be afraid of failing.\u00a0 All real and lasting success is based and built upon a foundation of failures.\u00a0 Just learn and grow from your mistakes…and make the appropriate changes in your life so that you will enable yourself to achieve your own success.\u00a0 Keep putting forth the necessary effort to accomplish that which you desire.\u00a0 Stay active over the long term.\u00a0 Don\u2019t quit.\u00a0 Don\u2019t give up.\u00a0 Don\u2019t back up.\u00a0 Don\u2019t shut up!\u00a0 Change and grow everyday….And YOU WILL MAKE IT!!!\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

YOU CANNOT STOP A PERSON WHO WILL NOT BE STOPPED!\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Peace and love to all of you……Poppa Bear\u00a0<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
