Money
Wise
management of money can help a person reach his goal. He can easily acquire anything he needed in
realizing his goal. Say for example a
noble goal of building an orphanage can be materialized faster if one has a lot
of money.
God
does not condemn having enough money because it eases life but what He condemns
is making money to be the center of our life or using it for selfish and evil
purposes.
Many
desired to be rich but never become rich because in the first place they
unconsciously being programmed by their church or from parents that money are
evil things. Unless you have a positive impression on
money you will never attract it into your life.
Those who use money for fulfilling their
necessities, acquiring reasonable comforts and for the welfare of a common good
are the masters of money. But those who
earn money just for the sake of increasing its volume and number are slaves of
the money. They are the most unfortunate
creatures of God who know well that whatever money they are earning, can’t be
taken an iota of that when they die even they are minting more and more money (Mol, 2012, Retrieved 2013).
Time
We are given by
God the same time – 24 hours each day but successful people knows how to
prioritized things and manage their time wisely. They focus and spend most of their time to
the things that matters most and spend it to people who are close to them.
In
the morning write your things to do in a piece of paper. Do the most important thing and urgent first
one at a time and finish it before proceeding to the next item. Those tasks that are not accomplished can be
carried for the next day. Every minute
spend in planning save ten minutes in execution. The purpose of “personal
strategic planning” is for you to increase your “return energy,” and return on
the mental, emotional, physical, and spiritual capital you have invested in
your life and career (Tracy B. , 2013).
Doing this simple habit
can increase your performance tremendously and will make you not to forget
important things to accomplish. You will
feel good and feeling satisfy as you finish each tasks.
Using
money can increase your performance by hiring people. Business owners hire people to work for
them. By hiring people you delegate your
task to others and therefore free yourself of some time to be used to those things
and person that matters most.
Skills
It would be nice if the skills ones
develop are anchored based on his aptitude and passion. The skills that are based on the aptitude are
abilities innate to a person. These abilities
are being engraved on the genes by God and perhaps the very hint of God’s
calling and purpose for one’s life.
Develop skills not only based on aptitude but as well on interest or
passion.
Develop those skills that will make you
expert and be the best in your chosen field.
All successful people are good at something.
Successful people are people who
follow their passion and do it every day not because they are told to do so but
because they love doing it. They have
always that energy to do it again and again.
Works now becomes a play and they acquire satisfaction doing it. The key here is constant practice makes one
perfect. Daniel Pink, in his book Drive, cites research that shows the
opportunity to build mastery is one of the three most motivating things for
most people, professionally (Pink, Andersen,
Retrieved 2013).
They make some ways to be the best
in their field by reading books related to their fields attending seminar,
listening to audios, watching videos about it and doing some other ways to improve this skills.
Once they become competent of their
skills and use it to bless others then people will discover their true meaning
in life. Money will start to flow to you
freely during this condition.
What makes people become great is
that they develop some skills and use them to benefit others and use it to
glorify God.
Health
Another important aspect a person
needs to develop is health. Good health
will make the person endure the challenges he is facing every day and sustains
him to do his life’s purpose.
Developing good health includes
eating more of a plant based diet as well following some laws of health such as
regular exercise, receiving enough sleep at night, having a peaceful mind, in
short living a healthy lifestyle.
The more man eats a plant based diet
and raw foods the more he will receive enzymes that will aid his body to
function efficiently.
Having a good ample sleep will also
preserve our vital energies and will prepare us for the next day activities.
All our body functions are governed
by our brain. When the person is in
control of his mind, he can use his mind to command his body for
preservation. What is less well known is how your thoughts influence your physical,
emotional, and even spiritual health (Maria,
2011, Retrieved 2013).
Relationships
Treat each person nicely especially your immediate family members. Don't take them for granted
since they are the one who will stay with you through thick and thin.
Maintain your friends as you enlarge the circle of your friends. As possible only associate yourself
more with positive friends and avoid people who are naysayers.
Don't be afraid to ask help from other people but don't take advantage of them. Always remember
the people who in one way or another had helped you in the past. Repay them goodness as well.
Don't hesitate to help other people who are in need as a way of paying forward your blessings.
However, having these assets alone will not determine success and real happiness but will become a curse if misuse for selfish and evil purposes. Just like knowing how to use the three levels of the mind but using it for selfish and evil acts can bring sadness and sorrow the same is true with these four assets. The success lies on right management and using it for noble cause that will help others and bring glory to God.
