2. Demand On Your Time

To achieve success for your dream, you got to pay the price of time. For you to serve in a ministry in church, you have to give up some time to serve. To get a degree in your studies, it will demand time from you from other things. Many times, you will hear people say “I don’t have time to learn. I don’t have time to do this and that.” But time, can be defined as a current of events. So time management is simply event management. If you can manage the event in your life well, you can manage time well.

Thinking With Excellence – Part 4

1. Demand On Your Heart

Proverbs 4:23 says “keep your heart with all diligence, for out of it spring the issues of life.” It didn’t say keep your money or your pocket with all diligence. It says keep your heart for out of it spring issues and it means the geographical boundary of your life. How far you will go in life is always a matter of the heart. It is a matter of your eternal belief and attitudes. If you have a dream, your heart will be called in pursuit to fulfil your dream. High achievers are people with a deep emotion well inside of them. They are not only able to motivate other people, they also able to motivate themselves. When they are disappointed, they are able to pick themselves up. They have this great reservoir of emotional capacity within them to keep on going even if the road is tough. When they meet with problems, accusations, and criticisms from people, they have this ability to draw within their hearts to keep going again and again. In life, everything we do, there will always be disappointments. But how do we become successful, and be a high achiever? The bible uses the word “overcomer”. We are to be an overcomer. Something comes at us, we overcome it. Overcomers are people with excellent thinking. It is their attitudes in life that distinguish them from other people. (more…)

Thinking With Excellence – Part 3

Excellence Is To Obtain Greater In Quantity

You tried to be productive as you can for the Lord. You are not satisfied at this level of productivity and you want more. John 15:16 says “You did not choose Me, but I chose you and appointed you that you should go and bear fruit, and that your fruit should remain, that whatever you ask the Father in My name He may give you.”  What Jesus is saying here is “be fruitful”. He doesn’t just call us to be faithful, He also called us to be fruitful. Many people want their life to be dramatic and have a radical change. Companies want their sales to increase. They want investors to be queuing up at their doorsteps. Students want their school grades to improve overnight. Some wants to find a quick way to be millionaires. But the truth is, all these instantaneous results don’t happen in real life. In real life situation, it takes real hard work, right mindset, to raise the quality of your life to become a productive person. In fact, it takes a lot of patience, a lot of persistency for you to see fruits. (more…)

Excellence Is To Be Superior In Quality

An army general, William Foster (1917-1945) said “Quality never happens by chance, it is always the result of high intention.”  So, quality is never going to come by you sitting around and hoping for the best. It will only come by design, by you maintaining a standard of quality. It means we have to purpose in our hearts to do excellence works. You make it a point never to compromise the quality of your work. (more…)
