When you differ the variables in an equation you change the outcome. H2O is water but if you double the oxygen it becomes hydrogen peroxide which does not quench thirst. Read on, to discover the recipe for success.
10 % knowledge
This is not restricting what you have to know to 10%. Whatever you know as a successful person constitutes 10% of the explanation for your success. The knowledge base you require as an infrastructure to sustain your success is but 10% of what it takes to become successful in life. The only thing guaranteed by ignorance is failure. Go for knowledge. Increase your intelligence in every sphere of your life. All the knowledge you require to succeed is 10% of what it takes to be successful. Start your adventure, hunt for knowledge.
40% Character
Your character is the sum total of your actions and/or inactions. You do not become successful just because of what you know. There are many knowledgeable failures in town. Your character is born when your knowledge becomes your personal culture. Your character then becomes an unstoppable vehicle which takes you into your future. Change your character, change your future. Your character is your attitudes and pre-disposition in life. If you have a character of persistence and determination, dedication, great work ethic, integrity etc. there is no limit to how far you can go. If what you know fails, who you have become will bounce back. You must embody love, joy, peace, meekness, patience, and longsuffering to have sustainable success. These are the spiritual forces that keep you going when nothing else makes sense. Your value is in your values.
50% Environment
Environment is everything. God made man in His image and likeness, yet for man to operate as such, God put man in the Garden of Eden. A bad environment will kill great potential. (Genesis 2:7-8)
In the Garden
Presence of God
The presence of God was a conspicuous reality in the garden. The presence of God is the ideal environment for man to operate at full capacity.
Stretch goals
- God told one man to dress and keep an entire garden that had a river that parted into four heads flowing through it.
- God asked one man to name all the animals in the earth.
Get into an environment that put a demand on your potential and not one that only celebrates your current achievements. You must have global goals you are pursuing in partnership with the Spirit of God.
Order
Order is divine. When the earth was without form and void, God’s priority was to introduce order. God did not create man until he had brought order into the chaos that was upon the face of the earth. The divine protocol is to marry and procreate only after you have your ‘garden’ to manage.
The Parable of the Sower
The same quality seed in different environments had different outcomes. (Mark 4:2-8)
Jesus in Nazareth versus Jesus in Capernaum
Jesus was more effective in Capernaum than He was in Nazareth, relative to His miracle ministry. Same Jesus, different environments, different outcomes (Luke 4:23; Mark 6:5-6).
Commit to, and take advantage of these three factors for a progressive and sustainable success.
