Everybody wants to be successful in life. Every individual, you and I; rich or poor; male or female; and anybody else are struggling for success. To be successful, a person must FIRST have DEVOTION TO GOD. In the Bible, in Matthew 6:33, it says to seek ye first the kingdom of God and all these things shall be added unto you. We undergo a process before going to the tip of success. When your foundation is Jesus Christ, IF you allowed Him to be the first in your life he will surely help you on the way. Always remember that we don't have the power and strength to be successful without the help of our God. He is the ruler of the universe; eternal; and infinite. He is omnipotent (all-powerful), omniscient (all-knowing), and omnipresent (always present). He knows your beginning and he already knows your future, so better trust on Him. SECOND, you need to have the DESIRE TOO SUCCEED. Everything that we have right now starts with a desire. If you have the desire to succeed, you really work hard on it to achieve it because you really want it. THIRD, you need to have DILIGENCE TO STUDY. Everyday in our life, we continue to learn. We learn from our experiences. If you are a student, be diligent to study. No good thing will be given to those who are lazy. Every success is sweet if you know to yourself that it was the result of your hard work. FOURTH and the last, you need to have DETERMINATION TO SUCCEED. Determination means to continue on despite the obstacles that would hinder us from achieving what we have desired. All those four criteria are needed to be successful in life. PRAYER plus HARD WORK equals to SUCCESS.
I became a registered Nurse because I allowed God to be my partner in my Studies. I entrusted to Him everything but of course, I really work hard on it because my desire is to be a registered nurse. So friends, do not trust your own strength and wisdom. There is someone who is greater than us. Just be humble and never leave God. Never set Him aside. You really need him all the way to your success. I hope that somebody will follow the criteria above.

Sucess comes from inside of each of us. SOme believe God is in each of us also. I don't but some do. I believe there is a higher power. I believe in positive thought which is the same thing in my estimation. We need to stay steadfast to the things that are important in our lives.

Add some ambition to it although you have that to a point. but you gotta want to do what you do and the thing within to do that. You got a lot of folk out here talking about Give me a job, present company included because that's all we been taught to do. If we want to improve our lot, we have to change our thinking and work from another way totally new.
