The Law of Gratitude helps you to enjoy every stage of your journey on the way to successfully accomplishing your purpose in life.
Gratitude enables you to replace expectations with appreciations, because happiness is not all about getting whatever you want all the time, rather it is more about loving what you have and being grateful for it.

Our journey in life could be compared to a building site with different phases of development from conception through design process to construction and final completion and hand-over.
At every phase of a building project, the builder shall face different level of challenges depending on the type of building. However, the foundation of every building is an indication of the amount of load it is designed to withstand.

A gigantic mansion would have a stronger foundation than a bungalow. Likewise at every stage of our journey in life we will face diverse challenges and when your foundation is not strong  enough, you will buckle under the pressure of the load.
When you have a big dream and you are determined to make that dream successful, then you must be prepared to build a solid foundation that will withstand every challenges life will throw at you.
How then can you build a solid foundation for a successful life?

“Unless the Lord builds the house, They labor in vain who build it; Unless the Lord guards the city, The watchman keeps awake in vain.” Psalm 127:1 AMP.

Your journey to building a successful  life and maximising your full potential, would take you through phases of challenges which might become so intimidating, especially when you are faced with calamities; such as death of loved ones, terminal illness, relationship breakdown, law suits, financial crisis and similar misfortunes which will either frustrate you to give up or start all over again.

However, when your foundation is anchored with faith on the supernatural and miraculous intervention of God in every area of your life, you will never give up because you know that God got your back at any time and in any circumstance.

In the story of David and Goliath, David was never afraid of Goliath, even though Goliath was a giant who have conquered and intimidated many military forces.
Yet David who was only a shepherd boy at that time, was able to defeat Goliath without any military support, except for a sling and a stone.

David was able to defeat Goliath because he anchored his faith in an unshakeable foundation, which gave him the courage to win the battle.

In conclusion, your success must be anchored on a strong foundation, so that you will not crumble when the challenges of life hit so hard.

No good farmer would plant a seed and then dug it up every day to check if it has started sprouting. Rather a patient farmer will water and nourish the soil to enable the seed germinate and flourish, because the soil is as important as the seed.

It takes a good soil and a patient farmer to transform a seed to a fruitful harvest.
Likewise, the journey to a successful life starts with the seed of our desires and dreams of greatness planted in our minds.

However, like the impatient farmer many people destroy the seed of their desires and dreams by prematurely aborting it through their doubts, fears, negative words and disempowering thoughts.

On the contrary, successful people continuously water and nourish the seed of their desires and dreams by believing in it, visualising it, affirming and vocalising it as an accomplished fact. They are patient enough to hold unto the seed of their desires and dreams for as long as it takes to become a reality.

“Therefore I say unto you, What things soever ye desire, when ye pray, believe that ye receive them, and ye shall have them.” Mark 11:24 KJV.

The ability and competence to become a successful leader; whether in an executive or non-executive capacity is an ongoing transition and not a fixed position meant only for the privileged elites in any society or organisation.
The idea that only a few privileged individuals can master the process of leadership to permanently occupy high positions is a myth and such ideology is synonymous with colonialism.
You can learn the process of leadership and become a successful leader, whether you sit in the executive suite or you are the company janitor.
Simply put, everything in life is learnable and the only thing that can stop you from succeeding is when you allow someone else\’s negative opinion of you to become your reality.
\”…. If thou canst believe, all things are possible to him that believeth.\” Mark 9:23.
Your were created to become a successful leader in your area of dominant gifting, so refuse to give up until you dominate your domain.

Focus is the major key in stripping off from your mind  negativities and channeling the power of your mind towards the actualization of your dreams.
Your mind-focus determines what you are able to conquer or submit to. Whatever you focus on becomes your dominant thought and your dominant thought will programme your mind for either success or failure.
The Information you receive repeatedly, can control your focus because whatever you always listen to, watch or pay attention to, will eventually begin to dominate and control your mind-focus.
This is why successful businesses use the Law of Focus to deliver targeted marketing of their products and services to customers via various marketing platforms aimed at grabbing the customers focus.
For instance, targeted marketing could include prospecting. Prospecting  is the first step in the sales process, which consists of identifying potential customers, aka prospects. The goal of prospecting is to develop a database of likely customers and then systematically communicate with them in the hopes of converting them from potential customers to paying customers. This is why so many people have fallen victim to compulsive buying, because their mind is so focused on that product or service that they are willing to give in to instant gratification but regret their actions later.

Your mind is like a muscle. It only develops with use.
Just as you can build your physical muscles by training, you have to work your mental muscles to build your mind as well.
The good news is, that the more you harness the power of your mind to think creatively and innovatively, the more you learn and the more you earn.
The quality of your thinking determines the quality of your decisions and the quality of your decisions determines the effectiveness of your actions and your actions determines the quality of your personal life and success.
\”It is not the lack of money but the lack of creativity that can prevent you from becoming successful because you are only limited by your belief and creative imagination\”
Inspirations and innovation always sit hand in hand, and in order for you to be innovative, you have to seek inspiration first.
Most successful business leaders are serial innovators and they  understand that in order to keep moving forward, the need to be constantly creative is very important.
Successful businesses are constantly improving and as a result create an insatiable hunger for their products and services.
Brands such as Coca-Cola, Google, Apple, Amazon, etc. are excellent examples of businesses that understand the importance of creativity and have taken many creative risks to help them re-invent themselves, evolve and become the best in their field

According to the Mental Health Foundation and Practice, suicide is the biggest cause of death for men under the age of 45 in the UK. In women suicide rates are the highest that they have been in a decade. Someone committed suicide every two hours in the UK in 2015.
This statistics is quite alarming.
The problem is even worse because most people facing crisis in life find it difficult to reach out for help. Oftentimes  such people tragically take their own lives.
Today you can save a life by inspiring and encouraging someone, instead of complaining about what you don\’t have or how you failed to hit it big.
Majority of the people you see on the the streets and even on the social media sites, have long given up on life.
You see, behind the facade of those smiles and bravado we all display, especially in the public, lies pains and mountains of issues too high to climb.
The question is how can you cope?

May be life has knocked you down with sickness, depression, debts, death of loved ones, divorce, heartbreak, fear, and all sorts of pressures and challenges.
Whether you are on the verge of giving up or perhaps you are facing overwhelming challenges at the moment, It is time to rise again and say to yourself, \”I refuse to give up because I am born to win! I have greatness in me!.  Nothing can stop me from fulfilling my purpose in life and when this temporary challenge is over I will be the only one still standing.
\”There can\’t be champions without a competition.\”
Whether you are facing crisis now or not, it makes no difference, because as long as you are in this world, there will always be personal and societal issues to deal with.
\”Tough times don\’t last but those   that persevere to the end, shall have the last laugh, because; \”weeping may last through the night but joy comes in the morning.\” Psalm 30:5.

Never take a long term view on any issue in life based on short term challenges, because no matter how dark it gets, the sun will always rise again.
Therefore, it matters how you process and react to any negative information. The seed you sow in your mind could either programme you for success or failure,  especially when facing crisis. In other words your life will go in the direction of your dominant thoughts, because as a man thinks in his heart so is he (Proverbs 23:7).
This why the scripture gave us guidance on what to think about; “Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable — if anything is excellent or praiseworthy — think about such things.” Philippians 4:8
In conclusion, i would like to share with you the following quotations which I found very helpful and I hope it will encourage someone today.

\”For I can do everything through Christ, who gives me strength.\” Philippians 4:13.
“Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God.\” Philippians 4:6
\”..in all these things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us.\” Romans 8:37.
 “Trust in the LORD with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make your paths straight. [Or will direct your paths.]. Proverbs 3:5-6.
\”We can make our plans, but the LORD determines our steps.\” Proverbs 16:9 (NLT).
\”Take delight in the LORD, and he will give you your heart’s desires. Commit everything you do to the LORD. Trust him, and he will help you.\” Psalm 37:4-5 (NLT).
“Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid.” John 14:27

The greatest enemy of success is the enemy within; that toxic voice on the inside that reminds you of your mistakes and failures, to convince you that you can\’t be any better.
This enemy within shows up whenever you decide to take actions that will turn your dreams to reality.
It comes in the form of fear and negative thoughts to discourage you from stepping out of your comfort zone to fulfill your dreams.
However, if you can overcome the enemy within, then the enemies on the outside cant do you no harm.
“ ‘If you can’?” said Jesus. “Everything is possible for one who believes.” Mark 9:23.
The naysayers, the haters and negative folks can never stop you from fulfilling your purpose.
The only person that can stop you is only you.

Failures are simply temporary challenges which could become stepping stones to your success.
