IT IS NOT ALWAYS A SPIRITUAL WARFARE BUT PHYSICAL- 5 KNACKS OF A SUCCESSFUL LIVING

Do you want a world class life?
There are personal codes for living better, happier, more relaxed and successful kind of life which I tag "The Knacks of a successful living".

Observing life in general, people seem to fall into two category, Those who have mastered the knack of a successful living and those who still find it all a bit of struggle. People who are happy on a day-to-day activity are those that have successfully mastered the personal code and as such, getting more out of life. My knack for a successful living aren't set in stones, aren't magical, secret or difficult and they are based entirely on my observations of happy and successful people.

    Code 1

KNOW WHAT COUNTS AND WHAT DOESN'T.

This is a major determinant on your way to becoming a better person. There are some things that are important and a whole lot of things that aren't. You being able to disseminate them keeps you on the track to success. For some individual, Having the latest technology mobile device, wearing the latest style of clothes, buying the latest make-up kit,watching the latest movie at the cinema are things that count for them. This code literally means focusing on what is important and letting go of what isn't. Knowing your purpose here on earth counts a lot as it keeps you on the right path. Just don't go mistaking the trivial for what really count. Having your solitude time everyday you wake up for your own development counts, Having time for loved ones and friends is important, teaching young ones ethics and values counts.
So in all,think about what count and do more of it. "It's not about the valuables but the values"-(Adejanju Jemima)

Code 2

HAVE A SET-GOAL

source
Everyone has individual goals that might be positive or negative. Statistics gave it that 75% of the people in our society do not have an organised goal program. They live life as a daily-default setting. Having a goal program is tantamount to effective planning. It take those whose life are pivoted on the principles of effective planning to make success. Sit down and plan as inspiration does not come while standing. You cannot make any meaningful investment in life without effective planning or set-goal. The future is created and not inherited. Successful people don't go to sleep until their to-do list is checked and cleared for the next day. One of the reasons why people don't have a set-goal is FEAR. Fear is the greatest inhibitor to having a goal program. Fear of failing, Fear of accomplishment, Fear of mistakes. Make your goal program realistic and not something you know within yourself you can't accomplish.
"Luck is when opportunity meets effective planning"

   Code 3

BE A FLEXIBLE THINKER

" Your thinking faculty is your greatest asset"-(Michael Stanley).
Once your thinking faculty gets crystallized, rigid, deformed, you've lost the battle. To get more out of life, you've to keep all options open and also keep your thinking faculty flexible. Youths, teens, pre-teens don't devote some hours of their time thinking about their lives. It was recorded sometime ago in Bill Gate's life, when he was around age seven that his mother came back from work only to discover bill's absence. She searched every nook and crannies of the house but couldn't find young bill. She was furious and went to the store room, a dark murky place only to find young bill sitting quietly on the floor and she said, "I have been looking for you everywhere in the house" and Young bill replied in an angry tone saying, "Why are you looking for me? I am thinking, don't you think?". Out of his thought came about microsoft and ever since then, his life has been so soft.
Inspiration does not come while standing, so sit down and think.
Show me a man that's successful in life and i'll show you an innovative thinker who has devoted much time to his thinking life.
"If you think up, you'll go up. If you think down,you'll go down as you will always travel in the direction of your thought"-(T.D JAKES)

  Code 4

LEARN TO TAKE RISK

source
Life itself is a risky world and you must learn to identify, choose and live with acceptable risk as it would be a risky risk not to take risk. People who become successful tend to be risk-takers. "A person who risk nothing, has nothing, is nothing and gets nothing"-(Michael Stanley).
Successful people are adept risk takers. In fact, it would be more accurate to say that successful people only pursue opportunities once they know the limits of the risks they take.
"No Risk, Pay the cost...Know Risk, Reap the reward"-(Dr. Ben Carson)

   Code 5

BE PART OF THE SOLUTION
Bill Gates, Oprah Winfrey, Steve jobs, Aliko Dangote, Wale Adenuga. These names come to mind when we think of successful people. Successful people do similar things as success leaves tracks. It's these tracks, behaivours and habits that sets them apart from ordinary minds who just work their 9-to-5 jobs, struggling with life. Successful personalities are problem solvers. Bill Gate solved a problem,created microsoft and his life became soft,Steve jobs solved a problem,founder of apple inc. And his life brought jobs to many,mark zuckerberg solved a problem, created facebook and his face was seen on every book, thomas edison solved a problem,created light bulbs and the intensity of his sharpness was shown to the whole world. All these great minded scholars were problem solvers. Be part of the solution and not the mayhem. If you want to appear on television, you don't spend much time watching television. To be successful,you have to put something back.
"No one is given a good life or a bad life. You are given life, so it's up to you to make it good or bad"-Michael stanley.
