THE FEAR OF MAKING MISTAKES

Mistakes are often the best teachers. The Bible says in Ecclesiastes 7:14, "In the day of prosperity be joyful, but in the day of adversity consider."
"When you fall, pick something up." The man who invented the eraser had the human race pretty well sized up. You will find that people who never make mistakes never make anything else. It's true: you can profit your mistakes.

Failure is not falling down, but staying down. Be like Jonah, who proved that you can't keep a good man down. Remember a stumble is not a fall. In fact, a stumble may prevent a fall. Proverbs 24:16 - " For though a righteous man falls seven times, he rises again."

A person who never makes mistakes takes orders from and lives his life for someone who does. " Failure is delay, but not defeat. It is a temporary detour, not a dead end street. " Not remembered for his failures but for his success." People are not remembered by how few times times they failed, but by how often they succeed." Every wrong step can be another step forward. If people can't accept your imperfection, that's their fault."

Don't fear failure so much that you refuse to try new things. The saddest summary of life contains three descriptions, could have, might have, and should have.

Look at what you have left, never look at what you have lost. If you you learn from them, mistakes are useful. Cultivate this attitude and you will never be ashamed to try. Uncover the jewels from your mistakes.

OBEDIENCE
Just as submission in the life of a wife attracts her husband to her in intimacy, so obedience to God draws him into intimacy with man. Jesus said in John 14:15-16.

Therefore, we see that obedience to God draws him into our lives, to dwell in, as his temple. Notice that Jesus promised here that he would come into such a person's life and make it his home.

Likewise, there are factors that attract and accommodate good in our lives. People do not enjoy good in their lives. No, it is hosted. In Psalms 112:5, God says that ' good will come to him who is generous and lends freely, who conducts his affairs with justice.'

10 TIPS TO A SUCCESSFUL LIFE

1. Focus on commitment, not motivation:-
Never depend on hear-says and rumours but follow your heart. Whatever people say should not hinder your personal growth. Incentives are there to keep you going, neither are they meant to blind-fold you towards achieving the best. Commit yourself to pleasing yourself first before turning to impress a 'carefree' multitude.

2. Seek knowledge, not results:-
Always yearn to becoming better than you were yesterday. This is the only way to make your life more meaningful, especially when you feel you have got nothing to be proud of. Similarly, relevant information and knowledge will always create room for BETTERMENT and not BITTERNESS out of the spirit of competition instead of complement.

3. Make the journey fun:-
Life is not all about gloom but learning from what makes you sad and from there learn to be grateful and full of energy to overcome all your obstacles, step by step though. By so doing, you will live a happy and fruitful life.

4. Get rid of stagnating thoughts:-
Stagnation is as good as delay; you only avoid it by meeting the right people that will propel you to excellence. Remember, you only become successful by focusing on PROGRESS and not PERFECTION.

5. Get rid of distractions ;-
Any form of disturbances can be a barricade to one's personal growth. As a result mark-timing and stagnation remains to be their lifestyle since they allow hysteria, depression and stress to dominate their lives. The best way to overcome this is by focusing on thing till you accomplish your set goals.

6. Use your imagination:-
Creativity comes as a result of self- understanding of one's areas of strengths and getting ready to explore them as they grow. Therefore, use your time to focus on your imagination in creating a meaningful personal atmosphere.

7. Stop being nice to yourself:-
Sharing is caring; inasmuch as you should share information and ideas there has to be a way of enhancing unity through mutual understanding other people's needs and being ready to help them grow to better people in the society.

8. Don't rely on others:-
Sometimes being too reliant on people; yearn to be self-reliant in spite of your open-mindedness because too much inquisition and consultation may bring about familiarity which begets contempt.

9. Plan:-
Have a schedule and timeline for your activities so as to spend your time wisely. Once you commit yourself to a particular activity you should chase your dream to the end without looking back but instead listen to your heart and pursue your desire to the latter.

10. Protect yourself from burnout:-
Do diverse tasks, keep switching between something creative and logical, something physical and still, working alone and with a team. Switch locations. Meditate, or just take deep breaths, close your eyes, or focus on one thing for at least five minutes.

THE SPIRIT OF BITTERNESS

Bitterness is a spirit that disturbs many believers besides being a sin. It is a mixture of disappointment, anger and fear. Remember, anger graduates to bitterness if you don't deal with it accordingly by forgiving and letting go.

In fact, Ephesians 4:26 states, " In your anger do not sin." Do not let the sun go down while you are still angry. " As believers, we must bear in mind that anger has a timeline; your anger shouldn't exceed twelve hours.

Furthermore, bitterness makes you bitter instead of better and eventually leads to forgiveness. What most of us are unaware of is that bitterness blocks the breakthrough to our destiny. Before you allow bitterness to control you, here's what you need to keep in mind.

Remember:

BITTERNESS IS SIN.

BITTERNESS IS UNFORGIVENESS FERMENTED.
THE MORE YOU HOLD ON TO PAST HURTS, THE MORE YOU BECOME "DRUNK" ON YOUR PAIN.

THE DEVIL USES ANGER TO ATTACK MANY. GOD CAN'T DRAW NEAR A BITTER PERSON.

TO OVERCOME BITTERNESS, YOU MUST FORGIVE, STOP DWELLING THERE AND STOP RETELLING.

BITTERNESS BLOCKS YOUR PHYSICAL AND SPIRITUAL LIFE; YOU'LL STAGNATE PHYSICALLY AND SPIRITUALLY AND PHYSICALLY. IT IS NO WONDER MANY ARE WORSENING SPIRITUALLY AND PHYSICALLY.

WHEN YOU'RE BITTER, YOU CAN'T HAVE BREAKTHROUGH EVEN IN PRAYER.

BITTERNESS CREATES SPACES FOR THE ENEMY.

BITTERNESS IS SATAN'S ALTAR IN YOUR LIFE - AN ALTAR IS A POINT OF CONTACT. Therefore, when you're about to rise financially, the enemy stands against you.

This sin entangles easily similar to sin like lies and gossip.
When you allow bitterness to take root in your life, you won't succeed at any time because you're limited:

BITTERNESS IS WHAT'S EATING UP MANY. BITTER HOLDS YOU BACK. IT'S LIKE AN ACID THAT DESTROYS ITS CONTAINER; WHATEVER YOU TRY FAILS.

A BITTER PERSON WHO HOLDS GRUDGES IS LIKELY TO GO THROUGH:

LACK OF PEACE.

BREAK-UPS.

UNGODLINESS.

MANIPULATION.

VENGEANCE.

HATRED AND ANGER.

DISCOURAGEMENT.

When you deliberately fail to talk to someone you have no part in God's kingdom.
