How to be successful in life (the 9 bitter truth you must read)

This article is copied from a part of my book titled "10 Letters :who you think you are suppose to be VS who you are meant to be". This letter talks about the bitter truth you must understand about life before you can be successful 

5TH LETTER (HOW TO BE SUCCESSFUL IN LIFE)

    As subjects of Kings and kingdoms, government and countries, I wish above all things that ye be of good health and in prosperity of spirit and soul.

    Harken unto my words this day as I, King Thanos have taken out time from my mundane pleasures and many women to ink you these letters of troubles and of wisdom...

In the year of our Lord...

Beloved, 

HOW TO BE SUCCESSFUL IN LIFE

I, King Thanos, ruler of the unseen realms write to you in love and wish that the Grace of God the father be upon you all.

   Success is a common abstract in all the universe

This is not like every other success write up you use to know; it’s time you knew the truth about what you wish to pursue...

   What do you understand success to be?

    Success to an average man could be having a billion dollars in his account, success to another could be achievements in changing lives of people every step of the way, success for others could be the number of awards they achieved...

    Our understanding of success differs greatly, just as our strategies of achieving it differs

    The very first step in attracting the spirit of success is to first understand your own success. What do you want as achievements? Is it money, awards, changing lives, women or kingdoms? Understand it... with an understanding you have a road map on which you plan on.

   You must also understand that you must first succeed with little things before you can succeed with bigger things...

  Now let’s come out cleaner...

  The road to success is quite messed up; not a smooth ride...  your men tell you success is like climbing up a ladder... son of man you have been lied to... the road to success is frightening, full of traps and bombs, water and fire, enemies upon enemies, trust and betrayals, jumping and diving, running and hiding...

   There are certain things you must understand so you do not get frustrated in your pursuit of success

1. No one is going to fix you, you got to fix yourself

2. You must accept yourself the way you are

3. Life will never be perfect

4. Those who complain most achieve less

5. No one has it all figured out

6. Enemies will accumulate 

7. You are not special

8. Being too kind is a weakness

9. Success is not achieved by hard work

1. NO ONE IS GOING TO FIX YOU, YOU GOT TO FIX YOURSELF

Not one person on the planet will fix you, you alone must build your success tower, write your success story as you encounter increasing challenges. No man will fix you because every man is busy fighting his own battle, they don’t care how difficult your life is because they have theirs to worry about.

     For success to be reached you must kill the entitlement mentality; no one owes you anything, you are not entitled to any share/part of anybody’s wealth, not even your parents

2. YOU MUST ACCEPT YOURSELF THE WAY YOU ARE

      You say you are all beautifully and fearfully made... yes, some of you are unattractive or scary to look at and they owe you no apology about it. Reason is because the real you doesn't start from your face but your mind; your soul is that mind. Do you have a problem with your looks? Are you feeling unattractive? Well then feel free to see your medical sorcerers for a change of face, change your skin colour but I promise you that every time you look in the mirror, the first thing your mind tells you is “this can never be you”... you can change your face but not who you are.

    Low self esteem is a curse that needs to be fought out of one’s mind if you wish to be successful because if you do nothing about it, it will breed and reproduce in your mind and get you tied to your comfort zone

3. LIFE WILL NEVER BE PERFECT

 One of the lessons you men must learn is that you cannot always have what you want. I know many of you picture a perfect success, maybe a full luxurious house, expensive cars, super gadgets... success is step by step until the end, you can not always have it all, what you picture may not be exactly what you will get. Even if you get it all, from luxury house to expensive fast cars to super gadgets, you surely wouldn’t have time for some of these things which will end up lying hardly used or touched; life will never be perfect but it can always be better... I have so many queens yet it isn’t a perfect life.

   I know what it’s like to lose, to feel so desperate that you’re right, yet to fail nonetheless. It’s frightening, turns the legs to jelly. I ask to what end? Dread it, run from it, failure comes all the same, you are not perfect and cannot be

4. THOSE WHO COMPLAIN MOST ACHIEVE LESS

    Same thing applies to those who boast most... actions are better appreciated than words.

        Since when has complaining solved problems, the best complains can do for you is advance into lamentations and attract sympathy for you because that’s  all you deserve. Stop complaining and do something about your problems because if you don’t, no one will

5. NO ONE HAS IT ALL FIGURED OUT

     In the road map of success there are lots of puzzles to be solved, some you would solve, some will take a while, but there are others you will never figure out; at this point do not waste much time on this part of life because if you do, you would prolong your success time and still wouldn’t figure them out

How do I end corruption? Corruption is like oxygen

How do I deal with evil? Evil is what balances Good on your planet

How do I eradicate poverty? The poor will never cease in the land

How do I make the world love me? If people hated the God Christ, who are you?

How can I be the best? Imperfection is man

How do I succeed without offending others? You cannot walk through bushes without stepping on grasses

        Save yourself the trouble and move on with your life...

6. ENEMIES WILL ACCUMULATE

        Either you believe it or not, your success will become a thorn to some other persons. In life there is the ongoing competition of greatness, this is a struggle that will never end; just as you can’t walk through the bushes without stepping on the grasses, you can’t walk through success without stepping on toes or getting in other people’s way... the higher you climb, the more your enemies...

7. YOU ARE NOT SPECIAL

     You could be intelligent, smart, you could be lucky with opportunities but never proclaim yourself special in mind or in words. There are thousands who are better than you, you are only privileged and not special. The same cancer that killed that guy can also kill you, the same accident that killed that girl can also kill you, you fall from the 5th floor you get broken to pieces, you get bitten by a venomous snake you die, you get stung by the wrong insect, you are done.

       You are nothing but just a man working to enjoy life just like others

8. BEING TOO KIND IS A WEAKNESS

“Bro please can I borrow your laptop?”

“I’m sorry you can’t”

“Please bro... I need to get this project done”

“I don’t give out my office... this is where I do my business”

“So you can’t help a brother”

“Sorry I can’t... go to a cyber cafe”...

        What if you give out your laptop and it gets stolen, what would you do?

    Too much of everything is bad... if you give women too much attention, you will begin to look like shit to them.

     If you do not know how to say “No” you become used by others who would take advantage of your kindness

   You must learn to say “NO” when its necessary and it must be confidently and firmly...

    Saying yes to every Tom, Dick and Harry can lead to your own detriment and get you off success track

9. SUCCESS IS NOT ACHIEVED BY HARD WORK

     The truth is, not everyone will make it in life, this is because many are busy working hard not smart

   You want to be a CEO? You want to be the boss?  Then you must quit working hard and start working smart.

    If hard work is the road to success, brick layers, conductors, street hawkers will all be rich because these people are hard workers

    I knew of a woman who owned a large fashion firm with over 20 employees but funny enough she doesn't know how to pedal a sewing machine... hard workers will forever remain employees and not employers. 

        You cannot be a CEO if you are not smart

 I pity slothful people; if hard workers are still struggling to get out of poverty I wonder what would be the fate of the lazy man

      For every success you define, there are techniques and strategies to achieving them but you must also understand the essence of PATIENCE... 

   If you cannot live with your own failures, where would that bring you? Back to zero. Failure is a sign of progress, you must accept it, review your mistakes and make it a stepping stone so as to climb with a better strategy.

   As long as there are those that remember what was, there will always be those able to rebuild a strategy from their failures
