The Top Seventeen Reasons People Fail in Life [Master Keys to Success] – 2
Introduction
In my previous article, I
enumerated ten
reasons people fail. Kindly check out that article for a more profound
revelation. In this article, I will share five reasons people fail. If you know
the root cause of your failure, you will not struggle to succeed.
As a Christian believer,
entrepreneur, and leader, you must know why things are not working. If your
electronic phone goes off unexpectedly, something causes it. It might be that the
battery is low.
It might also be that
your phone needs an update. Fasting and praying for the phone to turn on will
not work. You have to charge the battery or update the software of your phone.
When you charge the phone’s battery or update the software, the phone will
become usable.
In the same way, we deal
with the issues of life with cause and effect. You have to search for the root
cause of your problem. After finding the root cause of your problem, you will
find the best solution.
You might be praying for
a husband. However, every man that comes your way leaves. You may possess physical
beauty. However, your character is bad. Your beauty can attract men. If you
don’t have a good or godly character, every man will leave you.
Until you change your bad
character and build an inner beauty, every man that comes your way will leave.
The same applies to men. You might have money. However, every woman that comes
your way leaves you because of your bad character.
Until you deal with your bad character, every woman that comes your way will leave. Sometimes, you have to examine yourself.
- Why is this thing not working?
- Why are women ignoring me?
- Why are men ignoring me?
- Why is my relationship not working?
- Why is the church not working?
- Why is my business not working?
- Why is my family facing conflicts?
- Why is everybody dissociating from me?
- Why is my life not working?
If you can ask why things
are working and why things are not working, you will get answers to your
problems. This is one reason I have dedicated my time to writing this article
to help you uncover the reasons for your failure.
Knowing the root cause of
your failure will give you the grounds to deal with the problem perfectly. Maybe
the fruits in your house are bitter. However, your neighbor’s fruits produce
delicious mangoes, oranges, pawpaw, and coconuts.
It might have been that
you planted a bad seed. It might be that you planted genetically modified seeds.
It might also be that pests, insects, and harmful animals poison your fruit. You
can apply the best solution when you discover why your fruit tastes bitter.
If the problem is a bad
seed, you have to destroy the tree from its root and plant a new seed. Suppose
the problem is a genetically modified seed. In that case, you must stop growing
genetically modified seeds and plant organic (natural) seeds.
If the problem is pests,
insects, and harmful animals, you must apply the best pesticide and
insecticides. If the problem is inadequate exposure to sunlight and water, you
have to plant the seed in a place where the seed can get enough sunlight and
water.
If weeds are making your
seed unfruitful, you have to eliminate the weeds. Suppose your seed is bitter
because you planted genetically modified seeds; applying pesticides and
insecticides will not solve the problem.
Although, applying
pesticides and insecticides is another way of solving the seed problem. You did
not apply the best solution, hence, producing no result. However, if you
destroy the genetically modified seed and plant an organic seed, you will get
the best fruit.
Let’s assume malaria
strikes your family every month. Taking your children to the hospital for
treatment can temporarily solve the problem. However, if you want to solve the
malaria problem once and for all, you have to deal with the root cause of malaria.
First, you have to
understand the causal agents of malaria. As we all know, the causal agents of
malaria are the female anopheles mosquitoes. I wonder the female mosquitoes are
the ones spreading malaria.
“The male mosquitoes are
innocent.” The next to do is to deal with the breeding place of the mosquitoes.
If you can destroy the breeding placing of female anopheles mosquitoes, they
will not transfer the parasite (plasmodium falciparum) to your children.
If you want to prevent female
anopheles mosquitoes from touching your children, your children have to sleep under a
treated mosquito net. You have to spray your children's room with a mosquito insecticide or use a
mosquito repellent.
Taking your children to the
hospital to treat malaria is good. However, the female mosquitoes will keep
transferring the harmful parasite (plasmodium falciparum) to your children,
while the male mosquitoes will disturb you.
Maybe your church is not
growing. There might be insufficient evangelism and follow-up on the new
coverts. It might be that the church does not engage in prolonged fasting and
prayers. There might be no love (agape) in the
church.
It might also be that the
devil and his minions are limiting the church. If you can find out the root
cause of your church's failure, you will know the best solution to apply. Maybe,
your business or institution is not growing.
It might be that you have
weak systems to check and prevent corruption. It might be that the business or
institution has weak leadership. It might be that you don’t deal with your
customers fairly.
It might be that your
workers are unhappy or you are maltreating them. It might also be that you are
not doing what successful competitors are doing. Knowing the root cause of your
problem will set you ablaze for success.
This is one reason I have
dedicated my time to writing this article. Below are five reasons you are
failing. Knowing these secret keys will unlock your gate of victory. Kindly
share the link to this article so that others can grow in wisdom, knowledge, and
power.
The Top Five Reasons Why You Are Failing
1. Because you have prioritized money
Money plays a vital role
in our lives. However, we don’t solve every problem with money. You are failing
because you have magnified money above everything. It is true that “money rules
the world.”
However, money has
limitations. There is something we can do without money. Most of the things I
do demands money. However, with the wisdom of the Holy Spirit, I rarely use
money to advance the Kingdom of God.
Do not allow money to
occupy your heart to the extent that you cannot advance without it. Money
helps. However, you can become successful without money. I write from my
experience. Money is just a booster.
You can freely download
and read my books on my blog, Uncommon Wisdom Keys, and how to pursue a purposeful life without
money for more profound revelation. There are better things more powerful
than money. It would help if you had those things to accomplish your task. Get
me right. I am not disregarding money.
I will balance this
wisdom in point four so you will understand the power and limitation of money.
Thinking that you can do nothing without is ignorance. Haven’t you seen
countries with money yet the citizens live in poverty?
Don’t prioritize money
above wisdom. You can do many things with little or no money (From my
experience). With technology, character, integrity, focus, and grace, you can
become a resourceful person.
Many businesses,
organizations, and individuals have much money. However, they are unproductive,
unhappy, sick, and depressed. You might think money can make you successful. However,
that’s a half-truth.
The money boosts our
success. It would be best to have the wisdom to channel the money profitably.
See money as a booster. Don’t see money as the only way to success. You have
numerous resources to accomplish your task.
Money is one of the
gateways to success. Money is not the only gateway to success. You have life,
good health, mind, friends, family, knowledge, gifts, and above all, the Holy Spirit to
become successful.
Money comes to brighten
success. Don’t allow money to limit you. You are stronger than money. Freely
download and read my books on my blog, how to pursue a successful
life without money, 777 Uncommon Wisdom
Keys to a Successful Life, and Uncommon
Wisdom Keys for more profound revelation.
Remember, money is a
booster. Money is not the ultimate. You can do many things without money. Money
comes to help you reach a certain height. Don’t allow money to blind you. Don’t
allow people to limit you because of money.
You have the King of
Kings and Lord of Lords living in you and working with you (the Holy Spirit). Your
gifts are money. Your being alive is money. Family and friends are money. The
silver and gold belong to God.
Wisdom is money. God has
given you the power to make money. I will write in detail in point four. Say to
yourself; I can do everything through Christ Jesus who strengthens me (meditate
on Philippians 4:13).
2. Because you are not persistent.
You are failing because
you are not determined and focused. To be successful, you must be persistent
and unstoppable. A gospel minister said, “Persistence
breaks resistance.” In other words, you will break the walls limiting your
glory if you don’t give up on your goals, missions, plans, and assignment.
If you keep striving
through the storms, you will break every chain. One thing I have realized about
myself is that I am focused. I don’t allow anything to stop me when I decide to
do something.
When I decide to
accomplish a good or godly task, I do it no matter the cost. One reason you are
failing is that you give up easily. When you face challenges, you give up. When
things are not moving as you expect, you dump the mission.
You cannot advance with
that mindset and attitude. You need a strong heart to become resourceful. Enemies
will criticize you destructively. Some will attack you spiritually,
emotionally, and physically.
Some will accuse and
slander you. You will give up if you are not strong inwardly, focused, and
persistent. If you are going to be successful, you must develop hard skin and an
unbending heart. For more profound revelations, freely download and read my
books on my blog, 777 Uncommon Wisdom Keys to Successful Life.
3. Because you are not disciplined
You are failing because
you are not disciplined. Discipline means you work with time. Discipline means
you know your priorities. Discipline means you know when to work, sleep, and
have leisure.
You don’t use your
working time for games if you are disciplined. You will hardly find me playing.
I am always doing something profitable with my time. When I am having a little
fun, I will be listening to an important message with my headset.
Having fun has to do with
playing an electronic game. While playing the electronic game, I mute the sound
to listen to important audio with my headset. I read books most often in my
leisure time.
I do that because I don’t
want to waste time. Time is an intangible asset. To succeed, you must respect and
use time. Don’t procrastinate. Do what you have been assigned to do. If you are
consistent with your daily activities, it builds you.
I have decided to write a
minimum of one article every week. Although I have many schedules, I find time
to write articles and books. Without discipline, I will not write. The same
applies to you.
Whatever you do, be
disciplined. If you are disciplined, failure will be far from you. The devil
will sometimes be tired of you. Your enemies will distance themselves from you
when they observe that you are disciplined.
Christ Jesus did not joke
with his assignment. At age twelve, Christ Jesus said he must be doing his
heavenly father’s business (see Luke 2:41-49). Success will embrace you if you
discipline yourself. Failure will distance you if you discipline yourself.
4. Because you don’t know the systems of money
In point one, I explained
that you can succeed without money. However, you must also understand that
money is essential. It is said that “money rules the world.” There are some
things money can do.
For example, you need
money to buy your basic needs and wants. You cannot buy food, water, clothes,
or rent without money. You cannot purchase land, a car, jet plane, a house, or
substantial assets without money.
You cannot buy church
instruments and pay your bills without money. Without money, you cannot do mass
evangelism. Without money, you will be limited in your purpose. Without money,
you cannot buy a land to build a church.
Without money, you cannot buy medicine to treat illness. You need money to purchase and prepare healthy (balanced) diets. If you have bad health, you cannot accomplish your task.
- You are failing because you don’t know how to make, manage and multiply money.
- You are failing because you don’t check your income and expenses.
- You are failing because you don’t check your revenue and expenditure.
- You are failing because you don’t check your spending and profits.
- You are failing because you don’t have a budget.
Your expenditure exceeds
your salary. You buy liabilities. The things you buy are not bringing money to
you. You buy things that take money from you. For example, buying the latest
car or jet plane can be a liability.
You must buy fuel, power,
and maintain the car and jet plane. That car or jet plane is a liability if it
is not bringing money. Purchasing the latest phone can be a liability if that
phone is not bringing you money.
You must feed the phone with recharge cards (airtime) to make calls. You have to buy internet data (bandwidth) to browse the internet. It is a liability if you are not using that latest phone to make money. In summary, anything that takes money from you is a liability. Anything that brings money to you is an asset.
- You are failing because you spend money on liabilities.
- You are failing because you misspend your money.
- You are failing because you are not searching for problems.
- You are failing because you are not solving your community's problems. You are not creating services to solve the issues in your area.
- You are failing because you are not investing your money into profitable ventures.
- You are failing because you are not paying your tithes.
- You are failing because your financial plan is weak.
- You are failing because the products you buy do not bring you money.
You have failed to plan
financially. The money that should have been used to acquire an asset that will
generate income is used to purchase liabilities. Because of that, you are
failing. Escape the failure route by planning your financial life. For more
profound revelation, freely download my book on my blog, Uncommon Wisdom Keys.
5. Because you have ignored your social life
Isolation can limit you.
Predators often attack a single animal because it’s easy prey. In the same way,
your enemies can trap you in your singleness. Singleness, in the context of
this article, means a life without connections.
It would help if you had
others to become successful. You are failing because you have little or no
connections. Sometimes people seem not to connect if you are poor financially.
However, be persistent.
Persistence will break
the resistance (meditate Luke 18:35-43 or get my book, How to Unlock the Gate of Faith). Build yourself. Break the
inferiority mindset. Learn to be sociable. You can have the best product or
service.
However, if people do not
know your product or service, nobody will patronize it. You need people to
market and advertise your product. You may have the best gifts and knowledge.
However, it would help if you had people supporting you.
You need people to help
you become who God made you become. Even Christ Jesus (God Almighty) needed the
womb of a virgin called Mary before coming to the earth. Christ Jesus needed
John the Baptist to fulfill prophecy.
Christ Jesus needed
disciples to help him expand the Kingdom's work. Christ Jesus is God Almighty.
However, he needed the help of his creation when he walked on earth as a man. This
should tell you that we need help (You can read my book, the mysteries of Azar,
for more profound revelations).
You are failing because
you think you can make it alone. Technology can help. However, it has
limitations. It would be best if you had people. One thing you must know is
that we are social beings.
We need the encouragement
and presence of others. You need good and godly people to speak well of you. It
would help if you had others because you are limited. Technology can do many
things.
However, you need people.
You need people to show you your weakness and strength. You might be on the
wrong path unknowingly (see Proverbs 14:12). Connecting with people will open
the door for them to see what you cannot see.
God made our minds in such
a way that we think differently. Your temperament, upbringing, and personality
can make you think and see things a certain way. However, with people on your
side, they can help you see the whole picture.
You are where you are
because you are alone. It’s time to make friends. It’s time to marry. It’s time
to connect with people. Connecting with people does not mean you should join
anybody. Search for godly people.
Connect with people who
agree with your vision, mission, and purpose. The people might have some
weaknesses. However, build the relationship on their strengths and help them
with their weaknesses as they also help you.
You will not struggle to
succeed when you connect with godly and like-minded people. This is the
introduction. In the next article, I will write in detail about why you are not
succeeding so that you will uncover the keys to success (Heaven). Kindly share
