One Thing is Needful For Success

7/14/2016

One thing is needful for success, without it success becomes elusive: you need a sound mind.

A sound mind is a mental state of equilibrium. Creative ideas emerge from a sound mind. Most inventors utilize the power of a sound mind. A sound mind is your ability and capacity to make right decisions. A person under the influence of alcohol or drugs has lost the capacity to make sound decisions and ultimately the ability to create wealth.

The importance of a sound mind for a successful life cannot be overemphasized. The major reason some people can’t sleep is lack of a sound mind. It is also a major reason some people lose their appetite. Without a sound mind, a student cannot retain what he or she reads.

There is a Purpose for Our Being

7/14/2016

Purpose is the reason for our being; the essence of our existence. Purpose is what gives meaning to our being. Life therefore seems empty without purpose. It gives direction and focus to our lives. Without a purpose for living, we are tossed to and fro by every political, social, and economic change. There is indeed no direction in life without it. Without it, we are preoccupied with working for our daily need for survival. A life with purpose looks at the big picture beyond just putting food on the table.

Purpose for living removes depression and the desire to give up in life through suicide. Depression comes into people’s lives when they are disappointed with expectations and can’t seem to see light at the end of the tunnel. Without a purpose-driven life, people allow someone else like the government, a rich uncle, or others to dictate the outcome of their lives. Frustration and depression comes when these external influences disappoint expectation.

To find out more about purpose and how to discover your own purpose in life, request a copy of ‘A Culture of Positive Change’.
