Six Power Habits for Victorious Living

Success is a function of the positive daily habits we cultivate and live by. If we want to be successful and victorious in life, we must learn to avoid negative habits and cultivate positive habits that will empower us to do great exploits.

What are these power habits you must cultivate to be victorious in life?

In his power–packed Christian devotional booklet titled, “THE WORD FOR TODAY, Bob Gass, who is the writer and also the publisher of the devotional booklet, advised his readers to incorporate six principles in their lives.

After meditating on these six principles, I realized the principles are the positive power habits we must cultivate to live a victorious life. Without much ado, here are Bob Gass’ six principles you should incorporate to guarantee your victory every day of your life:

1.   Don’t Worry When You are Doing Your Best

Success is not a day’s job. There’s nothing like overnight success. For this reason, you should not expect to make it overnight. When you are doing the best you can, and success seems to be a mirage, don’t get discouraged. The reason success eludes many is that they get discouraged and quit. Their inability to persevere made them to quit.

To be victorious in life, you must get rid of worry and discouragement.    And the way to get rid of them is to TRUST God to see you through every battle you face. Psalm 37:3-4 says: “Trust in the LORD, and do good; so shalt thou dwell in the land, and verily thou shalt be fed. Delight thyself also in the LORD; and he shall give thee the desires of thine heart.”

2.   Don’t Hurry When Success Depends on Accuracy 

An English parlance says “No hurry in life.” More often, we push ourselves to try to achieve so much within a short period of time, but we never succeed in doing so. We need to realize that in life, it is not always how far, but how well. What matters in life is quality, not quantity.

For this reason, you shouldn’t be too much in haste. While timing is important, it cannot take the place of accuracy. “Accuracy” simply means getting it right. While in a bid to meet deadline, you may play fast and lose; when you focus on accuracy, you will achieve outstanding success in record time.

Focus more on getting it right all the time in everything you do. Prov. 21:5 says: “The thoughts of the diligent tend only to plenteousness; but of every one that is hasty only to want.”

3.   Don’t Form Conclusion Until You Have all the Facts

When a judge is adjudicating on a matter, he takes all his time to listen to both parties and their witnesses. By so doing, he is able to gather all the facts from both parties which will enable him to form his conclusion and deliver his judgment. Every judge knows that any judgment he delivers without evidence in support is perverse.

In our relationship and in our interaction with others, we need to cultivate the unbiased and impartial mind of the judge. Often, the problem we have with others is misconception. We don’t have the patient mind of the judge to gather enough facts about any person before we form our conclusion and pass judgment on the person.

Bob Gass is saying: DON’T FORM CONCLUSION UNTIL YOU HAVE ALL THE FACTS. In Luke 6:31, Jesus said: “And as ye would that men should do to you, do ye also to them likewise.” This Golden Rule propounded by Jesus Christ is the solution to virtually all the problems confronting mankind.

View from another angle, don’t conclude that it is impossible to actualize your dream because you have tried many times and failed. If you keep trying you will succeed. And remember: what one person has achieved another person can equally achieve.

4.   Don’t Believe a thing is Impossible Without trying it

The story is told of Henry Ford who once instructed his team of expert engineers to invent a v8 vehicle engine. His engineers looked at the sample design and replied that it was impossible to invent it and that v8 type engine had never been designed before.

Ford insisted they should go and invent it anyway. They went to work and after some time, they returned to inform Ford that they tried and tried to design it but it was impossible. Ford refused to shift ground and insisted he wanted the v8 engine at all cost. When they realized that their job was on the line, they returned to work. They worked on designing the engine and in a short time, they got it!

What a great lesson! DON’T BELIEVE A THING IS IMPOSSIBLE WITHOUT TRYING IT. There’s no harm in trial. We live in a world of possibility. We only need to try, try, try and keep on trying until we succeed. Jesus said: “If thou canst believe, all things are possible to him that believeth.” (Mark 9:23)    

5.   Don’t Waste Your Time on Trivial Matters

Trivial matters refer to matters that are not important or relevant to our lives and destiny. When we waste our time on trivial matters, we will have little or no time to pursue our dreams. Every worthwhile dream requires time. Time, they say, is money. Like money, time is precious and you cannot afford to fritter it away on frivolities.

In order to put FIRST THINGS FIRST, Bob Gass advised that we must ask ourselves: “What is it that only I can do or do best?” It is only when we answer that question that we will know what we should do.

And when we figure out what we should do, we should face it squarely and not allow trivial issues to distract our attention. The Bible says:  “Whatsoever thy hand findeth to do, do it with thy might; for there is no work, nor device, nor knowledge, nor wisdom, in the grave, whither thou goest.”

6.   Don’t Think that Good Intentions are an Acceptable Excuse for Doing Nothing

One of the things that God disapproves is doing nothing. God did not create us to be idle in life. Many a time we try to stay idle under the guise that we are waiting for God’s time. But this is what I will call a lame excuse. In fact, no intention, no matter how good it is, is a reasonable excuse for doing nothing. There are a thousand and one things you can do, while you wait for God to grant you the best you ask of Him. 

Waiting for the best time is equally not an acceptable excuse for doing nothing. This is because time waits for no one. Nothing should make you stagnant in life. An idle hand, they say, is a devil’s workshop. What you do with the time you have now is what matters. No intention, no matter how good, is an acceptable excuse for doing nothing.

Today, I urge you to roll up your sleeves and say "no" to any “good intention” that want to make you stagnant in life.

Until I come your way soon, go and live victoriously!
