Success – How can you achieve it?

There are people at very young age are already successful in their chosen field and career. To others success is elusive when, after doing everything to become financially stable, they are still feeling unhappy. When, after gaining the riches every human would want, their life began to loosen.

True Success is attainable, if we are to follow and live a life in harmony with the Bible’s teaching. We may be imperfect and sinful, yet, our very life can be a resounding success. Here are Bible teachings that can help each of us to reach the real success.

Money –its proper place

Yes, money is the reason for all to be injurious, will do anything bad or good for the sake of money. We are therefore admonished to care ourselves and our loved ones for the real issue, the love of money. It is self – defeating and really leads to disappointment, frustration and the worst – crime.

Be Generous

Learn to be kind and give happily, and expect nothing in return. People who often give without viewing a repayment are loved and are very much appreciated. Especially if we have all the means to offer and share what we have, studies shows that those who often help are experiencing improved sense of well – being, long life and it reduces depression.

Be Forgiving

How is this supposed to be shown? Examine yourself and check whether you have caused an upset to other people. Are you freely forgiving those who ask for your forgiveness? Self- examination is where it is all should start. Forgiving comes along with self-control. It is a strength that is to be shown especially in a situation where you seem to lose yourself.

Love Unselfishly

Show a loving attitude unselfishly. Parents are to show warm affection to their children and cultivate a moral based on the Bible. Children raised in a loving family, are enjoying security and stability. Couple is also advised to view marriage as sacred and if problem arises, resolve in the spirit of love.

Spiritually Conscious

Comply with Gods standards and certainly it will shield us from bad and harmful practices. It is good for us – physically, mentally, and emotionally, and most of all Inner Peace.

Mind your Health

A healthy body and mind is important for a happy and complete life, a person will even trade even his wealth just to live longer and for a better health.

My today’s post came in mind when I was watching a television advertisement few hours ago, even followed the title – Mind Your Health – a milk product and I totally agree, milk is good enough to maintain a healthier body. However I am not going to name the milk nor promote it :-) ... milk product varies depending on our age; some are even made to cater for the entire family. This I think is more practical, for those members whose ages are from 10 – 49 years old. Mothers are always advised to breastfeed up to 2 years if possible, otherwise there is milk meant for babies until they reach a certain age. Older ones from 50 years old – to avoid osteoporosis problem, is to take recommended milk good enough for their age.

I myself was deprived of milk when I was younger. Not deprived but rather my parents can’t afford to buy milk for us. Our parents would rather spend the money for our rice and food. Buy the more important things for the house instead of spending it for our milk. I found out through my orthopedic that I have my 10 degree scoliosis and was diagnosed five years ago. I have no reason to panic though, because my case is the type that will never improve, yet I am being careful and since I can afford to buy myself milk, I never forget to take at least a glass or 2 a day.

Include milk in your list of important needs for yourself, buy calcium rich foods. Never underestimate the nutrients and advantages it will give to your health. Make it a point to take at least 2 glasses of milk everyday especially while you are still young. As we get older, our bones are getting weaker, so, while still young establish and build stronger bones.

So mind your health – live with healthy lifestyle, healthy diet along with 2 glasses of milk, and you sure will live longer, look and feel younger.
