Success and Failure Blog

Bad attitudes are sins of the heart which keeps us away from all of our relationships and also from God .It blocks the work of the Holy Spirit in our lives and leads to many sin and temptations and causes us to hurt other people.

 The bad attitudes are displayed outwardly in the form of our words or actions, such a criticalness, rebellion, impatience, self pride, ego, uncooperative, discouragement, independence, presumption, arrogance, self-centeredness, rudeness , groaning,murmering disrespectful tone of voice, rolled eyes, sarcasm, stomping feet ,angry look , hitting the things etc .These are examples of bad attitudes which Christians should reject. We are the representative of God, and our behavior is part of demonstrating our relationship with God . We need to witness Christ and other people by being the imitators of God through our words, attitude, and actions. We have spent a life time developing patterns of sinful attitudes by rebelling against God in our thinking and behaviors. With commitment, true repentance & proper discipline we can replace these sinful bad attitudes with Godly behaviour.

God has said that he has given each of us a conscious(Holy Spirit) that will guide us to distinguish right from wrong behavior and that we have also been given the “free will” to follow that conscious or ignore it. Since God has given each of us a free will and it is for the most part by our own choice that we give ourselves to these things, subject ourselves to these bad attitudes. If we submit ourselves to our Lord Jesus Christ in every area of our life , we will have the power to control ourselves by the help of the Holy Spirit and can avoid sinful behaviors. As we walk by the Spirit God will give us the strength to break our bad attitudes if we Follow and obey God’s Word. If we have a godly attitude, we will stay away from sin and sinful things. Our behavior is a natural fruit of salvation and is grounded in what Christ has already accomplished for us at Cross.

Philippians 2:5 says your attitude should be the same as that of Jesus Christ”

Ephesians 4:23 tells us that we should be made new in the attitude of our minds.

1 Th. 5:21-22 “But examine everything carefully; hold fast to that which is good; abstain from every form of evil.”

God bless you as we walk together in this walk of transformation to be like Christ in the depths of our hearts!

How to prepare for success!

Be Teachable – Become the best at what you’re doing.  Learn everything you can about your industry, business opportunity, marketing and more.   You need to invest time to learn about your business, marketing and more…every day.  25% of your time should be spent on training.   Make sure you learn one thing at a time.  See my blog about Marketing Paralysis.

Work On Your Attitude – This actually takes work.  You are what you read they say…or garbage in garbage out.  What do they mean?  Our minds are amazing.  You can literally change your outlook on life and how you feel about life in general by changing your thoughts, reading good books (like the magic of thinking big, the bible and other books like it) ,working on your self affirmations , etc which will help you become a better you.  Check out some sections on my other website that talks about “succeeding in your home based business” and an area called “personal development“.

Set Goals – Setting goals is key to success.  We all need direction…a plan of attack as they say.   Some people are afraid to set goals because they are afraid of failure.   The key is to set small goals that are stepping stones.  Making a single call might be a goal at the beginning if you’re afraid of the phone.   If you don’t like reading, you should make it a goal to just read one page or one chapter per day…you’ll see, it wil get easier and easier.  Achieving big goals is just the result of achieving many little goals.   Just take it one step at a time.  Check out my article on goal setting and my video on goal setting.

Work Hard – Success takes hard work.  Make no mistake, there is no easy way to success…I wish, but there is not.  If someone tells you their business opportunity is easy…run.

Be Consistent – I know a lot of people that work hard but they are very inconsistent.  Especially, if you’re working on your dream part time, you need to set specific days and specific hours aside each week to build your brick and mortar or home business.

Pray – My personal key to success is to pray like it’s up to God and work like it’s up to me.  This last component to success in my life ( I believe it was the most important component of all) was my relationship with God.  I know that without him I would have not had the success I had.   Am I saying that one cannot have success without God…of course not.   There are lots of people who are successful who don’t really know or care about God…and that’s a shame and really their loss.  Some people think that they would have to give up their success if they wanted God in their life…that’s just a BIG lie.  God lets you enjoy your success, adding joy, peace, love, good health and more.
That’s True Success!
