Success is not the native of a particular city or country.
It’s not a Western thing. There is no country that does not have its own list of failures.
Success is fundamentally a product of who we are and not where we are. Success is not a function of the type of business you are doing but the kind of person that you are. If you look at success from the external perspective the search for it will never end. It’s not a function of government polices but a function of what is packaged in each one of us.
Don’t look for success in a place or vocation; look for it in yourself. Success is located inside you. God has packaged potential and resources in you that you require to make a success of your life.
This perspective to success will help you not to blame anyone for the state of your life and to be fully responsible for the happenings in your life. By the help of the Holy Spirit we can discover all the things God has made available for our success in life.
Joseph was maltreated for so many years. He was a servant and then ended up in prison without committing any crime. If his life and success were dependent on his family and environment he would have ended up as a failure. He came out of the prison principally because he discovered the gift of God in him, which took him to the throne. If he had been waiting for his family to help him out, he would have died in prison.
Take responsibility for your life. Don’t wait for anyone. Locate the things God has packaged in you first, then people will come along your way to contribute to your life. Ultimately what will make you a success is within you.
Ecc 3:11
He hath made everything beautiful in his time; also he hath set the world in their heart.
