is a man of definite purpose.
purpose
He knew what he wanted and he did not allow pre-election poll
results to distract him from that purpose.The only thing on his
mind was being the president of united states.Today,he has
realized his drems.The number one key to success has to do with a
definite purpose.
Discover what you really want. Be clear about it. The easiest way
to know what you want is to first understand what you don’t want.
Once you are clear about the things in your life you want to get rid
off, it becomes easier for you to choose a new direction in life.
Have you seen an airplane take off without a definite destination?
It doesn’t work that way. A destination is set before the plane takes
off. Every successful person the world has heard about had been
someone who had a definite purpose or aim.
Over thirty years ago, a young man wrote down new goals for his
life. He wanted to move into a castle within a year; marry a wife
within six months, earn millions of dollars from his business. He
was thinking about all these goals while he lived in a dilapidated
building. As a high school drop out, the odds were hugely stacked
against him. But, he decided to close the knowledge gap by being
self-taught. The physical appearance of this young man only
depicted the pathetic picture of a hopeless dreamer. Did I hear you
say hopeless? Well, maybe for the short sighted dreamer.

It was the power of belief that brought Japan from the ruins of a
world war to build one of the most prosperous nations on earth. It
is the power that is transforming India and China. The power of
belief opens up to us the secret of nature. Flowers and peanuts
revealed their secrets to George Washington Carver at Tuskegee.
He was known as the man who talked to flowers. It is the belief in
the future of the computer industry that made Bill Gates drop out
of school to follow his passion in the form of Microsoft.
Mohammad Ali believed he was the greatest boxer in the world
and what a hell of a fight he gave his opponents.
Beliefs are like doctrines and creeds but they are more than that.
Beliefs determine our actions. It directs our brains. Beliefs acts as
compasses that direct us towards our predominant goals. We are
thinking beings. Our predominant thoughts form our belief
systems. What we believe ,we act upon and we get our results.
whatever we believe becomes true for us.
Jesus kept saying, ”it is done to you according to your faith”. Your

The next step after deciding on what you want, is to believe you
will get it. You must believe that the universe supports your goal.
You must believe in people to assist you in achieving your goals.
You must believe you are already a success. Remember – success
begets success.
You must believe you can because if you do, you will. You must
take steps to actualizing your dreams. You must keep selling your
ideas to yourself. You must keep selling your strengths to yourself.
You must keep selling your goals to your sympathizers or your
dream team. You must be an evangelist for your dream. You must
keep the fire of passion burning.

In 1996,at the Atlanta Olympics games ,it was persistence that saw
the Nigerian under 23 soccer team come from a three goals deficit
to defeat the highly fancied brazilian team in the semi-finals stage.
They went on to win the gold medal with a resounding victory over
Argentina. Persistence is what made Daniel pray for twenty-one
days before he got the answer to his prayers through an angel. The
wise ones say it is not over until it is over.
Your dream will only remain a dream except you take massive and
consistent action in transforming it into reality. You need to set
daily goals for yourself to keep you on the road to your dream.
You need to employ the co-operation of others to help achieve
your goals faster and in a bigger way.
Persistence requires brain work, paper work, foot work and prayer
work. It will make you sweat. It will make you cry. It will keep
you awake in the night. It will make you shout. It will make you
humble. It will make you laugh. It will make you pray. It will make
you think and it will make you respect the inputs of others and
appreciate this great blessing we call life. It will make you develop
all the necessary qualities of visionary leadership and greatness
worthy of emulation.

you have never done. You have to be willing to be of immense

4.OBAMA
OBAMA is someone who can make a
decision and stick to it without
emotional attachment.
Quick decision makers have the ability to carry out their decisions.
Think your ideas through with all the facts available to you.
Napoleon Hill, the author of the all time bestseller, THINK AND
GROW RICH, made a decision before the late Andrew Carnegie
within twenty-nine seconds, that changed his life forever. That
decision led to a philosophy of personal achievement which has
positively influenced millions of people around the world.It was
endorsed by Mahatma Gandhi. It required quick thinking and
decision making .

One sad day, the world was shocked to its heels when the news
broke out that Rev. Martin Luther King jr. had been assassinated.
They killed the body but they could not kill the soul.They killed
the man but they could not kill the dream. The dream was already
alive in the hearts of millions of whites and African-Americans
who believed anything is possible. These group of people rose with
one voice, expressed through the power of the ballot that it was
time for a change we can believe in. Yes, we can, was the mantra
that flowed out of their bruised but determined lips every minute of
the day. The die was cast. It was based on a simple decision of
change they could believe in.
And, for this decision which like a relay baton had been passed
from one generation to another and to another, what sweeter,
enriching, vitalizing, world transforming, most endorsed and
celebrated victory can we ask for in the recent election of Barack
Obama as the first African-American and forty-fourth president
president of The United States of America.
What more evidence of joy do you need as the world saw tears
running down the cheeks of Rev. Jesse Jackson and Oprah
Winfrey? What more can you ask for as white, Indian, Asian and
African-Americans held hands while they looked ahead for a
better hope ; for a more united, prosperous, safe and respected
America; for a change they could believe in. The decision you
make today as an individual could help leap frog the world into
the next phase of accelerated growth-spiritually, mentally,
physically, relationally and financially.

him that his last hotel had just been swallowed up by this
ambitious flame of destruction, he felt strongly hurt by the fact that
he lost all his manuscripts he had laboured to write for several

He closed his eyes and paused for a while. Who could imagine
what was going on through his mind? He gave a deep sigh, opened
his eyes and walked across the street to a store. He came back with
a notebook. With this he started writing again. He remained
focused. He believed that the creator was the source of ideas and
that if the creator helped him write the volumes of inspirational
writings that was consumed by the ill-fated fires, He could still do
it again and even much better. He knew he had not lost everything
because he was alive.
He knew that God was not through blessing him yet. He knew
failure was just success looking for a bigger way to happen. He
knew something good was about to happen to him; that
opportunities always rose out of the ashes of adversities. He went
ahead to publish his first book, titled , Pushing to the Front, which
became an instant bestseller. He built back his businesses to a more
grander scale and became the founder and publisher of Success
Magazine,which for over a century has transformed the lives of
millions of Americans and people around the world including
mine. That man was Orison Swett Marden. He was an embodiment
of inner strength, courage and fully demonstrated the audacity of
hope.
Orison Marden had control over his mind. He had the absolute
recognition of the truth that nothing had any power over him
except that which he gave it through his conscious thoughts or
feelings. He realized that tough times never last but tough people
do. He understood that weeping was for a night but joy comes in
the morning.

He knew that when you are down in life, the only place left to go is
up. He knew you can go up when you start thinking the thoughts of
the highest. When you are married to your God-given vision, no
adversity can hold you down for long. The goliaths of this world
cannot crush you. The lions of economic hardships cannot
consume you because you have in you a greater lion.

The live wire of any enduring business is trust. When a little child
looks into your eyes or puts those innocent hands into your hands,
that is trust. You cannot go far in life without this élan vital of
human relationships.
The Americans need to trust each other more than ever. They need
to believe strongly in the Obama leadership to restore the hope of
the American dream. The Africans need to trust each other, care
for each other, love each other like never before. They must never
allow the illusionary barriers of religious bigotry or fanaticism or
diversionary tribal misadventures lead them into a self-destructive
abyss.

Don’t say you can’t. Don’t say it will happen in twenty years time.
That is the ego playing a silly trick on you. Life beckons on you
now to rise up and take your place on the throne of greatness. Life
pleads with you to establish your footprints on the sands of time as
a worthy ambassador of the creator, as a child of the most high
God.
What will you do now. There is no better time than now. Put
yourself together. Rise up on your feet and go and stake your claim
in this world.

Don't get hold of an email address and let it go cold. Work your
list by providing useful, relevant information and tips and then
when you do have something to sell you're more likely to get a
positive response.

You cannot rise to really great heights unless you have learnt how
to communicate to yourself and to the rest of the world. You need
to learn how to communicate with your subconscious mind. You
need to inform and persuade it about the direction you want your
life to go. The subconscious mind is a faithful and obedient servant
but it relies on repetition of ideas. You need to keep telling it what
you want it to believe. When your outer thoughts and inner
thoughts become one, you will be full of power to manifest more
success in your life.

God did not create second class beings. We were created as first
class beings because we and the father are one. There is a giant
sleeping within you. It wants to make you successful. It wants to
make rich. It wants to make you God realized. It wants to make
you a blessing to humanity. It has skills that can help you
transform this earth to heaven; to bring it into a state of harmony,
peace, bliss, opulence, goodness, order and gratitude.

Obama had a plan to be president but the plan would have been
useless if he did not have people who could take action on the
plans. He needed expertise he did not have. He got the best brains
together. Jesus Christ is a name popular in many countries. He had
twelve disciples. This was a mastermind that helped to form
Christianity which has been around for about 2000 years. Great
success requires great work and great work comes from great
minds. We are meant to help and support each other. Jesus Christ
said where two or three are gathered in his name, he will be there
in their midst. This is power of the master mind.

In loving ourselves, we also learn to love .How can you treat others
well when you hate yourself. Terrorist do not love themselves.
They believe the world is against them. They are afraid to face life
and its hidden blessings which comes as challenges. They only
dwell on negativity and when they are saturated with this train of
negative thoughts, they now find a form of expression. Out of the
abundance of the heart the mouth speaketh. Let the words of your
mouth and the meditation of your heart be at one with infinite
goodness. There is no one after you except you.

nations stock piled for an evil day which can only be created by
man if he chooses the path of pride, greed, war and avarice. The
greatest weapon in the world is LOVE. It is in your heart. Share it
and you will always have more to share. The universe will always
respond to the gesture of love by giving you more love than you
can hold. Share the love you have with the world now.

Emmet Fox, wrote in one of his one of his books that, "If you can
love enough you will be the most powerful person in the world". If
you want to be powerful, become a total expression of love.

No matter how tall a tree is, the root is always in the soil. The
deeper the root, the taller the tree. Humility is a product of
divinity. When you know that of your own self you cannot do
anything; when you realize it is God that works through you to
bring about the ideas, products and services that is adding value to
the world, then, you will never let the thought of victory get into
your head.
Humility enables you to trust in the infinite in all you do. Where do
ideas come from? The general answer is that they come from
space. Where does space come from? Have we ever bothered to
ask? We are all in God and God is in us even if many do not know.
God is the the first idea and He continues to radiate infinite ideas
into the universe that will make the world a better place. You and I
are not human beings having spiritual experiences.

Most people think that having more money will make them happy.
Maybe, a little. Money doesn’t bring you happiness because you
already have it. Happiness is an inside job. It is free. Happiness is
experienced when you learn to love yourself. Self love is a catalyst
for enjoying the happiness within you. The happier you become
the more wealth you will experience.

If we are grateful all the time, we will remain focused on the good
of life. The more we focus on the good the more we focus on God
because God is the ultimate good. Whatever we focus on we attract
into our lives. If we focus on complaints or negativities, we attract
more complaints and negativity into our lives. The more we focus
on prosperity, health, positivity, mercy, the more of these qualities
that will be experienced in and around us.

Gratitude is the state of mind that enables you to see the fortunate
in every unfortunate situation.It enable you look for the seed of
equivalent benefit in that unfavorable situation.Gratitude is not
satisfaction or total contentment with the status quo but
appreciation for the good in the present situation as you move
towards your true ideal.
Gratitude makes you a giver because you believe you have enough.
You accept the universe as your friend. Gratitude is not just a state
of mind. It is an action. That action is giving. When we give 10%
of our gross or net income to religious organizations, charities or

Then if Jesus had been a natural man, the men would have come
up and said, 'Well, his father was the one that earned the money
to pay for the bread, so give him the glory.' But Jesus went right
to the Source and got the supply. If you don't go to the Source,
Dear Ones, you cannot get the supply. Now all the glory goes to
GOD for everything I have ever received……Give praise. Give
thanks. When you find anything apparently going wrong, at least
when you find it, you should concentrate on Something better
and get your mind unadulteratedly concentrated on that
Something Better."
As long as you remember that you are in God and God is in you ,
gratitude will become the permanent state of your life.
