Your victory or failure in any sphere of life is anchored on your lifestyle.
You are either living a positive lifestyle or a negative lifestyle.
The lifestyle that guarantees victory is the positive lifestyle. Negative lifestyle, on the other hand, denies us the victory that is ours by birth.
Negative lifestyle has to do with the harmful and destructive perspective we have about others, about present circumstances, and about ourselves. Negative lifestyle also has to do with the harmful and negative way we speak about everything and about ourselves.
Positive lifestyle, on the other hand, has to do with the fantastic perspective we have about others, about present circumstances, about life generally, and about ourselves. Positive lifestyle also has to do with the fantastic way we speak about everything and about ourselves.
Positive lifestyle entails living by faith. When you live by faith, you see things not from the way things are, but from the way you want things to be; when you live by faith, you are not pushed around by negative circumstances, you are in firm control of your life.
When you live by faith, you make yourself “blind” to the present unfavourable circumstances.
Unfortunately, many of us live by sight, rather than by faith. The problem with living by sight is that we tend to believe that the way things are is the way we are destined to live. And as we continue to hold unto that belief, we get stuck to that negative lifestyle, hence victory remains elusive.
But when you live a positive lifestyle or you live by faith, you live and speak the way you want your life to be, and not the way your life is at the moment.
Sometime ago, a preacher went about preaching prosperity as part of the Gospel of Christ. People refused to reckon with him, because they said he was preaching prosperity and he was poor. Though discouraged, he refused to see himself as poor. He kept on preaching and seeing himself as a prosperous preacher. Today, the preacher is one of the wealthiest people in the US. He has jets which he uses for his evangelical work.
Dear reader, your success in life is not dependent on the present circumstance. That a person does not have money today does not mean he will not have it tomorrow. The important thing to note, if you want to live a victorious life, is that the circumstances or difficult situation you are passing through now is not the determining factor for your success in life. The determining factor for your victory in life is the positive image you hold about yourself and about life generally.
Never allow the present unfavourable circumstances to affect your life negatively. Keep focusing on the way you want your life to be. Life is what you make of it, not what the circumstances dictate.
Also, the positive image you hold about yourself and about life is more important than the opinion of any “expert” or person. You can be victorious when nobody believes you can; but you can never be victorious if you don’t believe in yourself.
History is replete with individuals who emerged victorious after people have written them off and said they could never succeed.
Thomas Edison was written off as too stupid to learn as a school boy. Today, he is remembered for inventing the electric bulb; when an aeronautical engineer saw Bill Lear’s design for a Jet, he said: “It’s a huge risk, and it will never fly;” but jets are still flying till today; when Sorchio HONDA set out to manufacture motorcycle many years ago, he was told never to do so, as it would not work, but today, motorcycles are still being used worldwide.
Your victory in life is not determined by people’s perspective about you, but by the positive image you hold about yourself and your ability. That is why you should believe in yourself when no one does. When you triumph at last, people will have no choice than to believe in you.
You don’t argue with results. You know?
Rules for Victorious Living
In the game of life, you must play by the rules, if you want to be victorious. Below are the basic rules that any person wishing to be a victor must observe.
1. Affirm the Positive
You use your tongue to either bless or curse. “Death and life are in the power of the tongue.”
We all want to be victorious, but indirectly we use our tongue to drive victory far away from us.
Negative confession brings negative results; while positive confession brings positive results. This is the number one principle for victorious living, and this principle has its foundation the Book of God, the Bible. The Bible says: ‘Let the weak say, “I am strong.”’ This implies that you are to affirm the positive and disregard the negative.
The positive way you want your life to be is what you should affirm; not the way you are the moment.
Winners in the game of life have an unflinching focus on victory and that is why they affirm and talk about victory all the time. If you are weak, affirm that you are strong; if you are sick, affirm that you are healed, affirm that you are healthy; if you are poor, affirm that you are rich, affirm that you are prosperous.
Here are some positive affirmations you can consider. Copy them on a card or paper. Repeat them 10 times in the morning and also in the evening. Keep repeating them and soon you will start believing in the truth they contain. And once your mind (conscious and subconscious) are saturated with them, you become indomitable.
The positive affirmations are –
a) It is well with my soul, it is well with my mind, it is well with my body, it is well with my finances and job/business;
b) I am more than a conqueror. I succeed in anything I lay my hands upon to do; and
c) I am blessed, I am healthy, I am prosperous.
2. Feed Your Mind With Champion’s Food
Just as you feed your body with food in order to stay alive, healthy, and active, you need to feed your mind with food. However the type of food you feed your mind with, determines the kind of life you live. An Igala proverb says: “It is what the bird eats that he uses to fly.”
This is the second rules for victorious living: Feed your mind constantly with champions’ food, and you will have the strength of a champion.
Champions’ food includes anything that motivates, inspires, builds, and empowers you to live a victorious life. Among champions’ food are books on motivation, success, personal development, and most importantly, the Book of God, the Bible which is the foundation for victorious living.
Reading makes the man. Readers are leaders. Read inspirational and motivational books. Soak your mind with them. I mean, read and digest the contents therein. And to do that, you read at a “slow-and-steady pace to enable you understand and digest thoroughly.
Also attend seminars and go to places where positive messages are delivered, and listen attentively to the messages.
