The "IBA" Of Success

The day before today - that is yesterday - I wrote on my DPA route to success - http://goo.gl/orDNRL - where D was for Desire, P for Plan and A for Action and I had stated that no success was ever achieved in any field of endeavour without taking those three into cognizance.

Today, I bring you another set of Acronyms designed to quicken your feet steps and heighten your tension to become successful.

In Igbo language "iba" connotes fever which most of the time is attributed to 'Malaria'; however the IBA I am about to explain to you has something to do with fever but this time, not the fever of malaria but the "success fever"

Anyone who desires success cannot be cold about, s/he must catch the "success fever" to achieve his or her desires and that success fever is fueled by these three in one acronym #IBA

I - Imagine

What would life have been, if God had not given to man the power of imagination?

Was it not imagination that led Charles Darwin to conduct his experiments and propound his theories of evolution?

He also led us to believe that in this life, only the fittest of the fittest shall survive!!!

Was it not imagination that led Isaac Newton to also discover the Newton's laws of motion?

Was it not imagination that led the Wright Brothers to invent the Aeroplane?

Was it not imagination that led Alexander Graham Bell to invent the telephone?

Was it not imagination that led Thomas Edison to discover the electric bulb?

Was it not imagination that led Mark Zuckerberg to discover facebook?

One could go on and on to point out the inventions and discoveries of this world that were made by men and women out of curiosity and imagination.

It is popularly said that "imagination takes one out of his ethereal realms"

For one to be successful, s/he has to imagine what success means in his or her field of endeavour

B - Believe

There is nothing anyone can achieve in life if he does not have the belief in himself that he can achieve that.

Thus a successful man is one who has a good degree of self esteem (not being egoistic) but having the confidence in himself t that he can do whatever he sets his eyes on doing using whatever talent and skills God already deposited in him.

In those years of Christ's earthly ministry, He commended a lot of people who believed that He could heal them or their daughters or their servants even when He was yet to do so. And in so doing, He laid a good example of the benefits of believing even before receiving.

Believing in oneself is equivalent to having faith in oneself and that can only stream forth from having faith and belief in the One True God.

When a man imagines eldorado and believes that he can build it, then he is off on a good ride which no matter how bumpy it may be, MUST be completed.

A - Achieve

When God landed you safely into this earth, He gave you one commission - "Go ye and achieve"

All that you are in this world to do is to "achieve"

If you are not achieving, then you are not fulfilling God's mandate to you.

Remember there will be an answer to be given for the time spent on earth.

It is this factor in the success scheme that most people fail to apply.

A lot of people are filled with imagination of what they can do or be if given the opportunity, however when it comes to actually becoming that which they had imagined that they could be, their spirits fail them and they chicken out.

The Cemetery is filled with people who had bright ideas of how the world would be better but never made those ideas see the light of the day. They died with their dreams, their imaginations and such dreams that were not shared definitely died with the dreamer.

And yet all it takes to achieve whatever we have imagined or believed in is to DO.

#ACTION is all it takes to achieve.

Can you see the picture I have painted?

Do you see your shadow there?

Today, make a change. Apply my "IBA" to your life and see if it will not CHANGE

Don't forget to let me know when things have turned for the better.

A wish for a beautiful day to you and I'll see you on the morrow
