Reaping the Fruit of Success in Life

Reaping the Fruit of Success in Life


One way to become more successful in our lives is to look

at the lifestyle and habits of people who are already

clearly reaping the fruits of success in life and living

and growing towards their unique God given potential. What

are some common characteristics and behaviour that we can

apply to our own lives to help us on our own personal

journey towards excellence? I have spent many years

studying this area, and have discovered that there are

common principles and habits that successful people follow

and see results many times over. Even people who have

achieved great personal growth in their lives know the

importance of having established life habits and daily

motivation towards their personal goals. Here are three

things that are important keys to unleash personal growth.





Three Steps towards Success that can Grow You Beyond Better.



1.Believe in yourself

"You weren't an accident. You weren't mass produced. You

aren't an assembly-line product. You were deliberately

planned, specifically gifted, and lovingly positioned on the

Earth by the Master Craftsman"

Max Lucado Best Selling Author



We all are born with a unique personality and gifts and

abilities. There is a purpose for each person’s life and

each person possesses all that is needed to fulfill that

purpose. For more information on discovering your uniqueness

and purpose check out

Believing in oneself is a choice we all have

to make, sometimes many times a day. It is an attitude that

we develop over time. It can be called self confidence, self

esteem or self worth. We cannot base our belief about our

worth on our past, or our circumstances, or other people’s

opinions. We choose to believe we are of value, have

something to offer to others and the world, and that our

life has purpose. The strength of what we allow our mind to

think and believe is incredibly powerful. The power of what

we believe will become a self fulfilling prophecy over our

life. It can be the difference between mediocrity and the

results we desire. Successful people acknowledge their

limitations, but keep on choosing to believe that anything

is possible. It is not what life hands you that is

important, but how you respond to it that makes the

difference.



2.Become a life long learner



Successful people keep themselves up to date with

information, which allows them to be on the cutting edge in

their field of influence. As human knowledge has vastly

increased, and is more accessible than ever before, so a

commitment to life long learning is an important key to

success. Making this a daily habit builds a solid foundation

for positive growth. Many successful people are committed to

reading at least one book every week. If you give one hour a

day towards something you would really like to learn or

accomplish in your life, it adds up to 365 hours a year!

Significant changes can happen in that amount of time. Using

throw away time usefully is also a good exercise, for

example listening to an audio tape or CD when traveling in

the car. To grow beyond better, purposely schedule into your

day time devoted to improving your mind, increasing your

skills and consciously make the decision to assimilate and

apply what you learn.



3.Keep good company.



Surround yourself with positive people. It is so easy to be

affected by negativity, and drawn into that way of thinking.

Make a point to mix with people who encourage you, inspire

you and believe in you. Keep company with people who

energize you towards reaching your goals. You tend to become

like the people you spend the most time with.



Jim Rohn, a successful author and self-made millionaire

wrote



"You are the average of the five people you spend the most

time with"



Increase the time you spend with positive successful people,

and spend less time with those who have a negative influence

on you, who decrease your self confidence and create

discouragement.

Look for new opportunities to mix with successful people.

Observe and learn from their attitudes and lifestyle, and

adopt and adapt things that might work in your life and

situation.
