Your contributions

WHILE it is acceptable to have the Creator and people influence your life, you have some work to do. Success will not walk and ask to be your friend; you must go and reach it. You must expend some amount of energy. Of course, the Creator sets the pace and puts things in place for you to reach that desired outcome, but you must be in alignment with the process toward success.
Many ideas may fill your brain, but you will be unable to execute all of them. Being focused and sticking to one thing at a time can probably be your key to success. When you are doing many things at the same time, you may not be able to concentrate your energy and thus miss the opportunity to achieve victory.
Working hard is never a crime. If you are considering being successful, then prepare to work. Whoever thought success came easy was never talking about me or you. You may have to work hard and with honesty, while others may be resting. Avoid measuring your hard work against others. Do that which is correct, and you will have victory on your side. Working hard requires a great deal of energy, but the result can be victorious if you stay focused on the task.
Avoid trying to be unethical in your activities just to be successful. Shortcuts may be good, but they may not be the best option. Unethical activities may give you a momentary sense of satisfaction, but they will ultimately leave you feeling ashamed in the future. Many people’s good reputations were damaged because of one unethical activity. Please avoid unethical means in your pursuit of success.
A positive attitude can, and more importantly, will be a key to your success. Many people may want to support you if you have it. Even when you have some failures, try to keep a positive attitude. As you become successful, try to maintain your winning formula. Too many changes may only create harm, and you may soon become defeated. Do the things that work for you, and you will have many successful days.

People who surround you

You will need people to help you become successful. Avoid creating enemies and establish more friends. Not everyone will want to be your friend, but those who choose to do so—keep them close to you, as they may be concerned about your success and may do many good things to help you become successful.
Some people have great ideas, but they are unsure what to do. In some cases, when they connect with a mentor, they may realise that they have potential and can also become successful. Mentors oftentimes help you see what may be in front of you that you may not be able to see. Stay with your mentor and work to be successful.
You have a responsibility to surround yourself with quality people. When people have pet birds for whistling competitions, they often take them to challenge other birds, so they can improve their whistling skills. If you want to be successful, then you ought to surround yourself with people who will cause you to rise higher.
People of quality can sometimes help you see life from a better perspective, and you may live days thereafter being thankful for their friendship. Some of those high-quality individuals may be right in your workplace. Only by spending time talking and observing them will you become aware. At your educational institution, there are quality people who are there to help you become better. Your neighbourhood may have people who will cause you to lift your head high and see that opportunities are all around you.
You have the choice to choose people. Use that choice wisely and be willing to learn from others, as they may be a great guide to your future.
When you are successful, try to help others. You can help change the world into a better place by helping those around you become better. Your presence and guidance must challenge people to improve. Be willing to share with others that life is filled with opportunities and that everyone can become successful. Share with them some of the important things that they can do so that success will be their friend, and defeat will be their permanent enemy.

The Environment

A fish can swim, but needs the environment to do it. Many times, people have the ability but lack the environment. Athletes will not become great if they only spend time at home and dream about success; athletes need a supportive environment to execute what is important to them. Your environment can be your springboard for success.
Your surroundings may lend support for your success. Do not become angry with your surroundings. Just keep looking for things that can work in your favour.
You will need good soil for your seeds to germinate and bear a lot of fruit. While a seed may germinate, the soil provides it with stability and many of the nutrients it needs. When a plant is removed from the soil and is not provided with any other supporting environment, it may soon die. You should try to stay connected with your soil so that your success will be sustained.
Many people would like to be your friend, but you must choose your associates wisely. These associates may carefully help you see the opportunities that exist before your eyes. Your associates may constantly challenge you to rise above defeat and remind you that you are a winner. When your associates share their success stories, you may remind yourself that you too can be successful. It is challenging to find good associates, but when you do, hold on to them.
What you hear can help you decide whether to move forward or backwards. Your ability to hear can propel you to become successful. Be willing to listen, but most importantly, hear good things. Keep away from bad information and become friends with good information. What enters your ear will affect your thinking and actions. What you hear may help fashion your mind. Therefore, only lend your ears to good information.
If you see that other people are successful, then you may be challenged to believe the same thing can happen to you. Look for opportunities to see what life has to offer to you. Often, birds will be in the tree or air and look for food that may be within their sight. You must have a similar mindset to look for good things to happen to you.
