SUCCESS VISA (Part Eight)

V - Vision

I - Initiative

S - Sacrifice

A - Attitude

A - Attitude: Indeed, attitude is everything. Your attitude will either launch you to high altitudes in life or place you in perpetual servitude. You mold your attitudes to mold your future. Success or failure is a product of attitude. Once you get it right with your attitudes, success is in view.

Let's take time to X-ray some of these attitudes required for success.

1.  The attitude of humility: Greatness comes in bits, in installments. It comes from doing many small things greatly per time. It comes by laying many small bricks on each other until a whole building is formed. Success is the cumulative result of taking small steps daily towards the achievement of a bigger dream. To succeed in life, you may be required to start very small at times. You may be required to play on a very low key until you've gathered enough momentum to pitch and this requires absolute humility and patience.

It takes humility to persevere and persist in obscurity without losing self-security in order to build the dexterity needed for success. For you to succeed, you must learn from those who have been in the business and this requires humility and submission. You have to let go of your pride in order to ride unto victory. You must bring your shoulders down.

You see, pride makes you feel full even when you are empty. It makes you feel you've learned all you need to earn a space at the top even when you are growing lean out of ignorance.

If you desire a place at the top, keep it up because that's where you are destined for. But remember that the way up is down. You don't climb up from the top, you start from the bottom. Please note the word "climb". It's not "jump". You don't jump important steps while climbing the staircase else you fall and get injured. There are always seasons of obscurity in the journey of success. A moment where there is little or no recognition and ovation, and it takes absolute humility of heart to still enjoy this dark moment until you come to the limelight.

Many a time, people miss opportunities they have been waiting for just because the opportunities didn't come as dignified as they anticipated. They had fixed their minds on a big "golden staff" just for them to see a small wooden "walking stick" and they despised it not knowing that life gave them the wooden walking stick for them to rehearse and master how to use the golden staff they envisaged. There are times people expect to make billion naira and the only way they think they can achieve this is that Multi-billion naira contract and despise every small opportunities to make small money. They forgot that it is one naira that adds severally to make a billion. Always remember that the key that opens the door is always smaller than the door itself. Be humble and fulfilled!
