10 commandments of Success

I have paraphrased much of this, because I was typing so fast to get it all in….but the concepts are here. This was so impressive to me. I decided to share it with all of you.

We hear so much about the laws of success and positive thinking, and may forget that these truths are also part of a Christians life. These ideas are not new. Many times just forgotten.

1.Never reject an idea because you see something wrong with it.
Every idea will have something wrong with it.

2. Never reject an idea because you will not get the credit.
God will do great things when you do not care who gets the credit.

3. Never reject an idea because it is impossible
That is what makes the idea stand out! This gives leaders a chance to be leaders Show your belief before you have the answers – That is faith

4.Never reject an idea because you have made up your mind. If you already have all the answers you can be sure of 1 thing….some of your answers are wrong!
5.Never reject an idea simply because it is illegal.
Some things need to change to create opportunities. Maybe some law needs to be changed.
6. Never reject an idea because you don’t have the manpower or the money to pull it off.
God gave you the idea. You already have what it takes to make it happen.
7. Never reject an idea because some people will not like it and it will generate conflict
Any idea will generate conflict.
8. Never reject an idea because it’s not your style
Your way is not important. Success is more important than stytle. learn to accomodate and compromise.
9. Never reject an idea because it might fail.
Remember, it is better to try something great and fail than to try nothing and succeed.
10. Never reject an idea becaiuse it is sure to succeed.
Some people fail because they are afraid of success.

God has given us the ability to achieve the impossible.

Matthew 17:20

Many Blessings to all of you.
