10 SECRETS TO GREATNESS

1. Commit yourself to greatness - Leave behind the mindset of mediocrity. Being an ‘average’ is a comfortable place to be. Step out of your comfort zone. Take risks. Don’t do things the way they are always done. Change the status quo.

2. Dare to take a stand - Not everyone will like you but who cares!

3. Become addicted to positive thinking - Repeat inner conversations that affirm you.

4. Don’t let fear hold you captive - Fear kills dreams, fear steals joy and fear inhibits progress. Face your fears head on.

5. Surround yourself with people who walk in faith than reason - Faith walkers always expect the best. They encourage and challenge you to be the best you can be. Whereas, people led by reason operate in fear and always anticipate the worst. Unfortunately, there are plenty of those around.

6. Don’t settle for anything less - Go for the exact thing you need. Shun people who advise you to accept that which is “somewhat like the exact thing” because they think they have your best interest at heart. Liars!

7. Work more than you get paid - Make it impossible to find a replacement as outstanding as you.

8. Pursue excellence - Sharpen your skills, keep yourself updated, set high standards, compete against yourself and most of all persevere.

9. Leave the past behind - Everyone has made mistakes. Don’t let your past decisions cloud your hope for the future. Keep your eyes focused on moving upward.

10. Trust God - Not a very easy thing to do when things are moving at a slow pace, but trusting God at all times will strengthen your body and mind. A person who has his/her heart fixed on God is unstoppable.
