Success Is Yours | The Worshipper's Thought of the Day

As I was reading through my journal this week, I ran across a couple of notes taken a while back from a message delivered by Dr. Myles Munroe on "Maximizing Change and Crisis": 
"Most barriers to success are man made, and we are the ones creating our barriers. Your response is more important than what's happening."
It's so much easier to look beyond ourselves for someone or something to blame for the lack of success we experience.  Being successful has nothing to do with our luck of the draw but everything to do with how we pursue success.  It's our everyday decisionmaking that determines how much success we experience.  What do you do with what you've been given?  How do you respond to the circumstances that you've been presented?  Successful individuals make it their business to maximize the resources they have instead of comparing their own to those of someone else. People who regularly experience success don't waste time complaining about what's happening to them because they're too busy trying to make things happen.

When you have a mindset for success, everything you say and do is governed by it.  Bible says that as a man thinks in his heart, so is he (Proverbs 23:7).  If you think successfully and will to do that which leads to success, then you can't help but experience success.  It's just that simple.  Adversities may come, but they can only serve as barriers to our success if we allow them to do so.  We have been given the formula for success; therefore, it's incumbent upon us to follow the formula so we can obtain the expected results. Be found saying and doing that which creates success as opposed to barriers. What you do is more important that what's being done to you.
"This book of the law shall not depart out of thy mouth; but thou shalt meditate therein day and night, that thou mayest observe to do according to all that is written therein: for then thou shalt make thy way prosperous, and then thou shalt have good success." - (Joshua 1:8 KJV)
