Publisher's Synopsis
This book talks about success in your work because success has often been misunderstood. First of all, the greatest enemy of success is the fear of failure. Some individuals are dead afraid to pursue success in their work because they believe they might fail so they don't launch out for it. But I assure you, what you don't have the desire for you cannot partake of so your conscious effort to pant after success is the only sure way to partake in it. This book reveals to you the secrets to an everlasting success story in your work of which when applied, generations yet unborn will come to appreciate the mark you left. Furthermore, success is the potential destiny of all created things. Every seed you plant has a tree in it and the potential success of that tree is in that seed and that is exactly the way you are. Success is measured by why God created you and therefore success is fulfilled purpose. Success is not measured by what you have done compared to what others have done, No. not one bit. So it is needless to measure your success with how hard you compete with other people who have different purposes to that of yours. The fact of the matter is that, you will always find someone less than you (as this book establishes in one of its chapters) so you will think you are successful. Success therefore should not be measured at all with what you have done compared to what others have done. Success must be measured by what you have done compared to what you should and could have done in your stay on earth. The only two persons who know how successful you are is you and God who created you to be on this planet (earth). The race in God's scheme of things is not to the swift, you don't come first because you are head, but the race is those who endure finishing what they started. That's success. Therefore living on your purpose and finishing it is all that success is about. When you look back to the failures of this year, you know something didn't go right someway somehow. You might think of something you didn't accomplish. You might have failed in doing something you really wanted to do and your goals were not fulfilled and you can look back and be depressed but looking behind you doesn't help you for the future. And looking ahead of you can really make you afraid because you look at the uncertainty and ask yourself whether you will succeed but I come to tell you today that what is important is what is in you now. God has placed in you everything you need to become all were are born to be and you are carrying it right now as you read this. The word of God puts it wonderfully in the book of Ephesians: Now unto Him that is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think according to the power that worketh in us [3:20]. He placed the power inside of you and that means whatever you are born to do and become is on the inside of you. Striking topics such as overcoming temptations, integrity, the need for high emotional quotient, the place sacrifice has in your work, time management, how spirituality affects your work among many other revelations. It is very crucial to understand that there are some things God wants done in you that is why you shouldn't be going about making plans without spending time with God. Take my word for it, you are not smart enough to figure out your future but God knows your future long before you were created. That is why He wants you to know His purpose so that your plans can be in keeping with His purpose. What a tragedy it will be to be successful in the wrong thing. It's like an eagle trapped in its egg. If that eagle never hatches to fly, it is a failure because it never fulfilled its purpose. That is exactly what success is about. It is not just existing, it is making it to the end of why you were born into this earth. This book therefore explores 10 striking secrets that when followed, will steer you to the end, resulting in a successful work life which in turn will lead to a frui
