Every now and then, we hear about positive thinking and negative thinking. Positive thinking which is about setting your mind to the right direction by thinking and acting rightly. Negative thinking is about setting one’s mind towards defeat, fear and failure.
It is undisputable that an individual who thinks positively will actually locate his success route. But what are the ‘raw materials’ he’d need along with this roadmap to achieve? The raw materials are the empowerment tools or ‘power’ to positive thinking. They are VISION, MISSION and ACTION
VISION
A lot of people talk about vision but do not know what it actually is. Denotatively, vision is a vivid picture created by imagination. It could also be something that can only be seen with insight or the power of imagination ( Merriam Webster Dictionary- Home and office edition). Vision is not just about prophecies or testimonies. It is about your dream or goal created in your mind. This is the major purpose of an achiever. For you to embark on a positive step towards success, you must have a vision. This must be after you must have discovered yourself (as I discussed in my previously). You have to bear in mind that no dream is too big or too small. Every positive dream could be significant to the world. An individual has to bring out purpose from his life because a life spent without purpose is like an empty treasure box.
MISSION
Mission is the next thing a productive individual should have. Anyone who wants to bring his or her vision to life has to plan and strategize how he/she will go about achieving it. The earth was not created in a day neither were monuments built overnight. It took strategic planning and steps to accomplish those tasks. An achiever has to map out ways and methods of making a successful journey by outlining and organizing his/her plans. He/she will have to think of what works and what does and doesn’t work. It is also important to get the right information from the right sources. This could be acquired by asking questions, research via mass media or any other technique that you think best for you. By doing all these, an individual becomes proactive.
ACTION
Furthermore, the journey doesn’t end when a traveler refuels his vehicle. Refueling I only a propellant to the next point in other to complete his journey successfully. The next point involves the utilization of the third empowerment tool which is action. This is when an achiever moves from proactivity to activity! This is when you have to practically make things work! Or better still, the application stage! It’s a popular saying that “actions tell better than words” The extent of your success depends on what you actually put in through your actions. Your input determines your output. To have a high level of efficiency in your goals, you have to put in your best. By being dedicated, focused and determined, you are erecting strong pillars of success for yourself. Always bear in mind that “commitment is the mother of achievement”. The depth of your struggle determines the height of your success.
AN IMPORTANT POINT !
An achiever must acknowledge the fact that there is a Force behind all existence. An invincible, invisible, mighty and powerful Force who grants us all possess. A successful person will have to reason and appreciate such blessings by acting rightly in the best manner possible. Such individual must behave as a rational human being and also develop a good character. Honesty is very important in whatever we do. Humility is also important because developing pride and arrogance is like constructing a sky-scraper without pillars. Imagine the result?
In conclusion, I’d once again like to emphasize that living a life of purpose is about having a roadmap known as positive thinking. This has to be activated by three powerful forces namely; Mission, Vision and Action as enumerated earlier. More importantly, never forget your source of existence (God Almighty). I wish you success.
