I want to share with you a few ways you can inspire
yourself to get out of where you are. You’ll soon find yourself achieving great
results in your life.
Be sincere to admit
you need a change of level
Too many people are comfortable with mediocrity. Many others
don’t even know they deserve a better life than where they are at. You must
stop enjoying where you’ve been for the last 10 years; if you want to advance
from there.
The four lepers got tired of staying at the gates. They
sincerely realized that they were far below the level they ought to have been. That
was the beginning of their change of level.
Pause and have a quick self examination. Are you still
on a level you know you should have surpassed? If that’s the case, what are you
doing to force your way into your next level?
Begin to learn
There’s no end to learning. You are where you are because
that’s how far your knowledge could bring you. If you want to achieve more,
learn more! People ahead of you know some things you don’t.
Some religious people don’t have value for learning. They
tell you it’s only the grace of God that can make you successful. Well, that’s true,
but grace in itself multiplies by knowledge (2 Peter 1:2).
Stop waiting for God to “do it” automatically. He said
to go for knowledge. Begin to find out what you have and have not done. Begin to
ask questions. Begin to read about success stories. Remember that people perish for lack of knowledge (Hosea
4:6)
Never take your
eyes off your goals
Distraction is the mother of destruction. Never lose your
focus! What you pay attention to determines the level of inspiration that is
generated on your inside. A man without a goal is no better than a goat. Goals inspire
you for greatness. Therefore, you must focus on your goals.
When you pen down your visions, they become goals that
you run with. In life, if you aren’t running after something, failure would be
running after you. Habakkuk 2:2 tells us to make
plain upon tables our visions. When you keep your eye on your goals,
actions are born. Nothing inspires you to take action than focus. Therefore,
you must avoid distractions.
Whenever you take a step toward your destiny, the devil
makes some noise. If you turn your head
to listen to him, your whole body turns along. Consequently, your direction
changes and you begin to head the wrong way in life. That’s why you must ignore
people who the devil uses as agents of distraction. Focus on your goals!
Be inspired by
successful people
If there were no successful people on earth, there’d
have been no reason to be hopeful. But thank God, there are many success
stories around the world today. You know what? I don’t only get inspired by my
goals. I get even more inspired just by the knowledge that people ahead of me
have recorded huge feats, and I can surpass them.
You need to acknowledge the fact that there’s no excuse
for failure. If you’re a blogger for example, there have been very successful
bloggers before you. If you are a writer, there’ve been many very successful writers
before you. Whatever you aim at, know that people have been absolutely
successful before you.
This gives us a reason to be hopeful. If they could do
it, you can do much more! God has no respect for persons. Don’t be angry at
people around you who have succeeded. Rather, be inspired by them.
Ignore vision-less people
There
are people that have no vision at all. Friend, run away from them. Vision-less
people are contagious. Remember that iron
sharpens iron (Proverbs 27:17). You cannot achieve much more than your
company permits. If you walk with the wise for example, you will be wise. But a companion of fools will always be
destroyed (Proverbs 13:20).
I love to move with goal-obsessed people. Obsession is
contagious also. If you walk with someone obsessed with his vision, your obsession
for yours will double. Nothing makes you more successful than the right
company.
