SUCCESS: Overcoming Obscurity.

As we journey through life, there are times when we feel empty; we seem not to fathom the purpose of our existence: why we are where we are.  

We strive but don't seem to get to our designated mark or point. Worst still, we seem to be distracted and held down by the  noises around  us. It seems more like one step forward and two step backward. 

At such point, we are tempted to give up on our dreams and aspiration; our quest for a successful future become obscured by the uncertainty of what tomorrow may bring. 

How then do we navigate this path of obscurity to the destination of success?

Interestingly, there are fundamental questions we tend to overlook but they are a bearing to the path we decide to take. Such questions include: "What is your definition of Success?" and "Why do you want to succeed?". 

Indeed, each person has his/her own definition of success but What is your own perspective of success?  and what is your yardstick for measuring success? 

Is success all about amassing wealth and fame? Is it all about garnering knowledge and academic qualifications? Is it about having a booming business/empire or getting married to the love of your life and raising a beautiful and wonderful family?.

Someone once said that people lose out in life because of these 4 reasons:

1. Being myopic to opportunity
2. Looking down on opportunities
3. Lacking understanding
4. Failing to act quickly enough

Below are some assertion; do they in anyway give an insight to what what success is and the reason to succeed?

"All men dream, but not equally. Those who dream in the dark recess of the night awake in the day to find all was vanity. But the dreamers of the day are dangerous men, for they may act their dreams with open eyes, and make it possible."

T.E. Lawrence

"Shouts and Joy comes after victory, but it takes FAITH to shout before victory ! "

J.U. Anumba

"No matter what one does, regardless of failure or success, the experience is a form of success in itself.

Jack Ma

"In this world, there are things that are deemed unfathomable, but there is nothing in this world that cannot be done. The depth of one's ambition is determined by the potential of one's future.

Each of us has a personal calling that's as unique as a fingerprint - and that the best way to succeed is to discover what you love and then find a way to offer it to others in the form of service, working hard, and also allowing the energy of the universe to lead you.

Remember, it's not by power or might, but the Grace of God in You.
