Long Time ago I met Charles Tremendous Jones. He spoke at a convention in Bismarck ND. I was there. Then I got his book. Life is Tremendous. In it he talks about the 5 keys that will chart your life for success or failure. They are 5 key decisions you make right or you fail. Who, what, where, why and how. If this will help you, and I hope it will, I commend them to you.
The FIVE decisions you make to succeed are:
HOW you live. Becoming a Christian. Serving Jesus and living a Godly life is the first and most important. Living any other way is dissipation and will eventually kill off your destiny. It's not enough to just LOVE him, sing, dance and go to church. It's living the life that reflects your commitments. A life in order. A life that reaches toward righteousness. A life that answers the question, "HOW should we then live".
WHO You Marry. The ONE person you will marry and spend the rest of your life with. That decision is critical. A good wife or husband will double your destiny. The opposite will cut it in half. Divorce must never be an option. Choose carefully, but choose. Life is too hard to live alone.
WHAT you DO. Choose to be skillful in useful things. That will create the work you will do. Becoming a master of marketable skills is the key to success. Education helps but is not a shortcut to developing mastery, What you do will be the thing that is the tool to be what your destiny will be. Choose well in what you do.
WHERE you live. Your location matters. IF you are going to be a surfing instructor, North Dakota is a bad idea. IF you are going to grow apples, you can't do that in South Florida. Don't be afraid to change venue. There are opportunities in other places. Sometimes you must make a decision to walk away from where you are to find a fresh start in a new place. Be open to a change.
WHY you do what you do. This one is critical. Don't ever let money drive your decisions. It's a bad decision maker. Earn more than you spend. Don't be driven by trying to spend less than you earn. Think LONG. Don't go for the short game. It doesn't work. Pay the price to position yourself to do more. The deceitfulness of riches will put you in chains. Pocketbook issues will stop you from reaching your destiny. Do what you love and the money WILL FOLLOW. Do what you love to earn more than you spend.
I have lived my life this way. It works. Do this and you will find what God has designed you for. You can live a TREMENDOUS LIFE.
