Success Is Not An Accident

I"m trusting that you've gotten off to a great start in 2012 and the Lord is blessing you with incredible success. 


I'm reading "Success Is Not An Accident", by Tommy Newberry. Below are a few of his thoughts that might be worth pondering......

• High achievers are motivated by pleasurable outcomes. Underachievers are motivated by pleasurable methods.

• Living on purpose requires deliberately deciding in advance how you are going to grow more like the person God wants you to become.

• Circumstance does not make a man, it reveals him.

• When you take responsibility for your actions, accept that life isn't fair, get rid of excuses, become a doer, and develop an abundance mentality, you will break down many of the barriers keeping you from true success.

I needed to be reminded of some of these things as I move toward accomplishing my goals for 2012.  It can be so easy to allow short term gratification to get in the way of long term results......

I pray you are successful TODAY!
