Success.... God's Way


The bible is filled with so many promises from God to them that would only believe.  



Commit to the LORD whatever you do, and your plans will succeed.  ~ Proverbs 16:3
For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the LORD; plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.   ~ Jeremiah 29:11 

Trust in the LORD with all your heart; and lean not upon your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct your path.  ~ Proverbs 3:5-6 



When we commit our plans to the Lord, here is what we are saying. We are saying “Lord, we trust you, we give you permission to take our plans into Your hands and we yield them to you willfully.”

The Lord has a “good way” for us to succeed in life. When we find it, He will give us peace and assurance that He is with us in that way. Therefore, we seek His guidance, and listen to His voice. We must allow the Holy Spirit to become our partner in business and follow His leading.

When we seek God, He will reveal His plans and our plans will change to reflect His will and they can do nothing but succeed because they are indeed the Lord’s plans for us. 


ORGANIZE Your Thoughts



You are filled up to the brim with a whole lot of thoughts and ideas.  It's nearly impossible to organize your life when your mind is cluttered with constantly shifting thoughts.  You need to reach a decision at some point and your cluttered brain can prevent you from making a sound one.  

So how do you do that? Simple: Write them down. This will create a visible "map" of what's rolling around in your head and heart.  Sometimes, this can be termed as "mind-mapping."

In addition, putting it all down on paper removes the burden of trying to remember everything. You will feel lighter, and that in itself will make the decision easier.
The easiest way to do write down your thoughts for decisions is to create a Pro/Con list.

With an organized line of thoughts, you can create a game plan wherein you can emerge with a win-win situation.
