How to Get What You Want

What Are You Looking For?

The principle of getting what you want starts with knowing what you want

If you don’t know what you want, you will try to have everything—which of course I know you don’t have where to keep them!
My straight talk is this: Be specific with you want (and of course the things you also don’t want) and you will find out that achieving them will practically become easier, faster, and even better.
Another important truth is that; when you don’t know what you want, the world will try to give something less. People will deceive and play tricks on you like the American football! Again, you must understand what you are looking for. Don’t give aimless punch!

Learn to Take the Initiative…

What is initiative?
According to Oxford Learner’s Dictionary, it writes, “It is the ability to decide and act on your own without waiting for somebody to tell you what to do”.
Hear this loud and clear: You won’t get much help depending on others; you’ll have to learn to use your initiative. The choleric people know and live by this. This is a rule of life.
“The world bestows its big prizes both in money and honors for but one thing,” says Elbert Hubbard, “And that is INITIATIVE”.

What to Do When You Don’t Know What to Do…

One of the greatest barriers of success and achievement is CONFUSION…getting stuck in the mould at ‘Nowhere Ville’.

What do I do when I don’t know what to do?
Great question!
For the secret of getting what you want is really to know what to do when you don’t know what to do? How does it sound? Whatever may be the case, it is but the TRUTH.
You don’t have to put a gun in your head just because you lost ideas, or became blank in the middle of a very important project. It is normal, and part of life. Everybody some how have come across such situation…like when you don’t know what to do anybody, so damn confused and perplexed and wanting to die!

What to Do

First of all, you must admit that you can’t know or have everything.
Therefore if this is true, then you would need PEOPLE.
Yes people! It’s the secret.

Here are 3 Powerful Principles that will give you whatever you want…even when you don’t know what to do:

“ASK and it shall be given to you, SEEK and you shall find, KNOCK and the door will be open to you”—Matthew 7:7

1.The Power of ASKING: God says, “My son, what the hell do you want! If you don’t know what you want, then there is nothing I can really do”.
“Yes it is my desire to give you something, but not until I know that which you want my hands are tied”. Please release the hands of God. Give him the license to bless you. Who say silence is golden? If you close your mouth, well don’t say didn’t tell you!
The rules: Don’t ask for the wrong things; don’t say ‘I can’t have it’; don’t ask without a good enough purpose or reason; don’t conclude in your heart without first asking; ask and receive!

2. The Power of SEEKING: A ridiculous story was told about a man who went to the graveyard. He was just moving and looking around until a man watchman came and then ask me the very straight-forward question: “what are you looking for?”
Listen, this is dead serious; if you don’t know what you are looking for, it’s better to stay at home watching WWE or playing your favorite video game!
“I game to look for some books”, the man ridiculously replied
“Ah! You can’t find books here. You are at the wrong place. You can only find such things in the library or bookstores” The Watchman advised, “But wait…”He continued, “Why would you be looking for a book in a graveyard?” He asked the astonishing, who just left disappointed.
Yes, you will always be disappointed if you keep searching the wrong places!
I will keep saying this: “Whatever you seek is also seeking for you. You just have to be at the right spot for you to grab it. Learn the hunter’s lesson; who always knows where to get the big rabbits!"

3. The Power of KNOCKING: What would keep a man standing at a door for hours waiting for it to be opened when He has not given a KNOCK?
The only way to can get someone’s attention is by knocking.
Most times, even if you are knocking, you are probably not the only one knocking at the door. There are many others giving the same knock too.
But what makes yours different? Who will the owner open the door for? I’ll tell you. It’s the man who gives the LOUDEST knock!
Here is a problem: I have found out too many of are not always there when the door is usually open. The reason is because we are not patience enough to wait for response after the knocking. There is one thing to knock, but another thing is to WAIT. The lucky folks who are patience enough will always be in the wining end.

I have shared with you three powerful principles given by Jesus, the all- masterful Teacher and Savior.
Jesus asked a question, “Which Father will give to a Child serpent when the child is actually asking a Fish?” Of course no Father!
So, we all most learn to ask, seek and knock for whatever our heart desires—but not be the right thing— and we will surely get it.
I will stretch out here that some others priceless qualities you need to bear in mind if you want these three principles to walk magic for you, are PERSEVERANCE, DETERMINATION, PATIENCE and FAITH.

Enjoy more success!

10 Simple Rules for Super Achievement

What You Must Keep At the Back of Your Mind
Before You Can Win Your Flight Ticket!

Someone was complaining to me, “Rufus, I need some change in my life. What is your advice on what to do?” he asked
“What can you do?” I thought in my mind, “Well, I doubt if there is really any thing you can do to change your life”. Very shocking reply, isn't it? But what do I really mean?

You see; most times people expect me to give them some so-called ‘secrets’ which they think is the only way out from their situations. But my reply to anyone who wants change in his life has always been a simple and straight statement: “Change your mind… and you will change your life”. SIMPLE!
For as long as you are with your old heart and spirit there is really nothing I can do.

This brings me to say that, if you really want to get the best out of this dreams or goals, then I think you really have to help yourself- that is you must follow and abide in these simple rules I will be sharing with you…

Have God’s Approval: If it’s not the Will of God for you going into any venture, then you are probably wasting your time. In verse twenty-one of chapter nineteen of the book of proverbs says, “Many are the plans in the mind of a man, but it is the purpose of the Lord that will be established.

2. Have Desire: If you don’t have a strong enough desire for change or success, then you will not get real far. You need a desire stronger than death!

3. Have Purpose/Passion: You must have a strong enough reason why you want success or change.. But Why? Because if you don’t have a good enough intent or reason, then you will only be a slave to your impulse and emotion. You must also fall in love with whatever you do or choose to do. Enthusiasm produces energy. Purpose produces Passion.

4. Grit/Determination: You must know that in any venture, there is also an adventure in it. So you must be determined enough to grind your teeth to scale through all hurdles and obstacles on your way to achievement.

5. Vision/Mission: You must strive to always know where you are going. How important? I don’t know. What I know is that, when you loose focus for 10 seconds when driving you might end up spending eternity in River Nile! Also; you must have a concrete mission and expectation in whatever venture you take.

6. Positive Attitude: A great man once said… “Our attitude towards a subject will determine the source of its power.” This is an absolute truth!
When you show lack of concern towards your goals, the results it will bring will definitely make you sad.
One perfect attitude that brings great results is: Paying attention to every detail. All successful people have this attitude. You too must build on it.

7. Personal Development: A young-inspiring lawyer came to Abraham Lincoln to reveal to him the secret of success. Lincoln looked at him for a while and said, “Go get and read books, continue developing your mind”.
Also, just as the immortal Ralph Waldo Emerson once said: “it is the inmost that gives birth to the outmost”. Successful mind breeds a successful man.
You must focus on self-study. Very important!
Brian Tracy observed that, “If a man reads one book a week consistently in his chosen field, and he does that for over 12 months; he would definitely become an expert in that field.” Try it!

8. Networking: People who need people are the wealthiest people in the world.
Building relationship that works is perhaps the single most important component for success. If your contact is dead, forget about the venture.
“No man is an island” is perhaps one of the biggest truth we all must accept and follow.
Robert Kiyosaki, author of the famous Rich Dad Poor Dad, said, “The poor focus on their job, but the Rich builds their network..
If Jesus Christ himself would need the 12 disciples for his ministry, what about you?
You must build your network…and make your contact count!

9. Effort: Abraham Lincoln would always tell people, “work, work, work!” It’s the key to success.
The immortal Paul the Apostle gave an instruction that, “He who is not willing to work should not eat.
Effort is very essential. Forget what the so-called system-gurus keep saying about ‘Achieve your Dreams No effort Stress-Free…Even a Dumb can do it’ This is just bunch of sales-letter junks!
The only place you can achieve your dreams by sleeping in your soft-bed or watching the Hollywood , is in the graveyard!
The Bible says, “Awake from your sleep, O sluggard! Or poverty will come like a thief upon you”.

10. Patience/Commitment: You must know that there is time for everything… and that Nature also plays an important role in either our success or failure in life. So, whenever you give a knock, you must be able to wait long enough for it to be open for you. You must strive you see the very end in every beginning. Like my mum use to say, “Be Patient, the last soup is the best!”
You cannot predict or tell when The Great Giver of success will grant unto you the result of your labor. So be COMMITED.
How far are you willing to go in your goals or dreams? Are you willing to scrap through the hurdles and discouragements you find on the way?
Please don’t drop out when you name is about to be announced. Stay in there. You will definitely, for sure, succeed!

These are the 10 simple rules for super achievement. Keep these easy-to-follow rules as you prepare for your flight ticket, and you will definitely catch up with the plane!

Enjoy more success!
