How to Become Successful

This morning, while thinking about what subject to write on my blog, I came across this interesting motivational video of Tyler Perry, “How to be Successful”.  Tyler is a 43- year old American actor, director, producer, screen and playwright, author, and songwriter. A multi- talented artist earning $ 130 million between May 2010 and 2011 and was named by Forbes as “The Highest Paid Man in Entertainment”.

I interpreted the message of his inspirational/ motivational video into this:

1.    Do what is best and let God do the rest.

“Plant the seed and water it.”, it means that you take the first few steps which are to come up with a great idea and then do what is right to turn that thought into something worthy. Then let God do the rest by always keep in your heart the belief that He is there to nourish the seed that you planted.

2.    Narrow your  focus on one idea.

It is clear that when you commit all your time, effort, and energy to a single goal, you will be able to attain your vision.

3.    Keep on keeping on.

Facing challenges and experiencing setbacks while climbing the ladder of succes is something that is normal, an essential part of the process. Impediments and unfortunate situations must not be a reason for us to stop or give up. Instead, we should make the best out of these challenging events by creating new strategies that can enhace our chances for success.

4.    Know it beyond knowing it.

Knowing what to do is not enough. You also need to believe that what you know will bring you rewards and make you closer to success.

5.    Never let go.

When you feel that the thing you work on so hard every single day is really for you, you NEVER want to let it go.  No matter how many obstacles will stand in your way, they can never impede you from moving on and being successful.
