A heartfelt blessing represents a tender wish, when you glance upon the roses in the morning, may ever petal symbolize your glittering hope! I wish all the days that belong to you be filled with pleasure and joy, it is a gift and a blessing from my heart and soul. May the handshake and the hearts in friendship be kept tighter and tighter! However, the wicked will perish: The LORD’s enemies will be like the beauty of the fields, they will vanish, vanish like the smoke from the Jerusalem fire.  Why stay on Earth except to grow? The wicked borrow and do not repay, but the righteous give generously; those the LORD blesses will inherit the land, but those he curses will be cut off. The LORD delights people’s good ways, he makes our steps firm; through we stumble, we will not fall, for the LORD upholds us with his hand. The righteous will inherit the land and dwell in it forever. From the mouth of righteous people comes wisdom, and they speak what is just. The law of our God is in our hearts; our feet do not slip. Thank you God, I know I am saved and sanctified.  

To be successful, you do not need to be lucky or rich. However, you need to know this: You are what you do daily. You first form your habits; then your habits form you. It is just as easy to form habits of success as it is to form habits of failure. Every day you live, you are in the process of becoming. Whether you are becoming better or worse depends on what you give yourself to. Please allow me to give you some advice on how to make yourself successful. Make a commitment to grow daily. One of the greatest mistakes people make is that they have the wrong focus. Success does not come from acquiring, achieving, or advancing. Success only comes as the result of growing. If you make it your goal to grow a little every day, it will not be long before you begin to see beneficial results in your life. Value the process more than events. Specific life events are good for making decisions, but it is the process of change and growth that has lasting value. If I want to go to the next level, I have to strive for continual improvement.  Do not wait for inspiration. I cannot get much done in life if I only work on the days when I feel good. The people who go far in life do so because they motivate themselves and give life their best, regardless of how they feel; to be successful, preserver.

 Be willing to sacrifice pleasure for opportunity. One of the greatest lessons my father taught me was the principle of pay now; play later. For everything in life, you pay a price. Nothing is free. There is another way to look at the cost of your time. Rather than comparing how much you are making per hour, we can compare the opportunity costs. Opportunity cost of some item is what we give up getting that item. For example, we assumed that the journalist and the doctor spend 8 hours a day working. Time spent writing reports, therefore, takes away time from available for consultations. As the journalist and the doctor reallocate time between producing the two good, they move along their production possibility frontiers; they give up two units of one good to produce units of the other. The opportunity cost measures the tradeoff between the two goods that each producer faces. Opportunity cost is a method that also tells us that money is not the only medium of change, it is just one. Think about it, time is also a way to pay for things. For example, if you baby sits your neighbor’s children for so many hours, and they paint your house, that would be a fair exchange of time for time.

 Therefore, opportunity cost of an item is what you give up getting that item. So time is golden, which means it is precious, use it wisely. You choose whether you will pay it on the front end or the back end. If you pay first, then you will enjoy greater rewards in the end, and those rewards taste sweeter. Going back to school or back to work, on Monday, may alarm you. However, keep your attendance up. The day to day busy work will teach you what you need to know to become successful in life so you can accomplish your dreams. Remember, dream big. It does not pay to dream small. We do not have a clue as to what people’s limits are. All the tests, stopwatches, and finish lines in the World cannot measure human potential. So do not let someone discourage you or laugh at your dreams. When someone is pursuing their dream, they will go far beyond what seems to be their limitations. The potential that exists within us is limitless and largely untapped. When you think of limits, you create them. Plan your priorities– one thing that all successful people have in common is that they have mastered the ability to manage their time, they have organized themselves. Henry Kaiser, founder of Kaiser Aluminum and Kaiser Permanente Health Care, reports, “Every minute spent in planning will save you two in execution.”

 You never regain lost time, so make the most of every moment. Nothing of value comes without sacrifice. Life is filled with critical moments when you will have the opportunity to trade one thing you vale for another. Remember, opportunity cost. Keep your eyes open for such moments, and always be sure to trade up, not down. If you dedicated yourself to these steps toward success, then you will keep improving, and you will be successful. Your growth may not be obvious to others all at once, but you will see your progress almost immediately. And though recognition from it may come slowly, do not lose heart. Keep working at it. You will succeed in the end. Success is waiting for you to make the first move.  Wait for the Lord, and keep his ways. He will exalt you. Let us get started.
