(Success Always Starts From Within)
TO THE BIBLE: Proverbs 12:8 TLB
“Everyone admires a man with good sense, but a man with a warped mind is despised.”
LET’S TALK
Some people have the erroneous idea that the most important requirement for success is money. So they go for money, and all their lives, they keep going for more of it until they eventually get frustrated. That’s not how to become a success.
Success always begins with a dream. Joseph was a young man who had a dream of success. His brothers envied him for his dream and tried to kill him, and eventually sold him into slavery in Egypt. You see, they couldn’t kill him. It’s hard to kill a man with a dream. Joseph’s dream kept him alive until it eventually came to pass. If you have a dream and you’re disciplined enough to pursue it, nothing can ever stop it from coming to pass. The only person that can kill your dream is you.
Your dream in life shouldn’t be about how or where to get money. Instead, it should be about improving your world to be a better place than you met it. To realise your dream, you need capital, and by that, I don’t necessarily mean money. Money is not the most important capital you need to realise your dream. The first and most vital capital is your mind. That’s what determines whether you become a success or not.
Your mind is where earth-shaking ideas are born. Those ideas, if properly harnessed, are more valuable than money. Money is a slave of your ideas. If you nurse your ideas long enough and discipline yourself in the direction of your ideas, money will eventually come looking for you.
It’s important what you set your mind upon every day. Get rid of the wrong stuff that won’t do your mind any good and polish your ideas; refine them and get ready for a great future!

Speak
I’m a dreamer. Money is a slave of my ideas. I fill my mind daily with the Word of God, and as I do, my eyes are opened to see opportunities all around me.
