If Becoming A Success Was Easy, Why Isn't Everyone Successful?

“We pray thee, of God, that we may know whether our waywhich we go shall be prosperous.” (Judges 18:5)

Success is so rare, not because it is unattainable, but success is rare because not everyone has the passion to go after it. What I have learned over the years is that most people are afraid to go after their passion, whether it is wealth, houses, marriage, cars, careers or just having children. The average person is afraid of stepping out of the box and doing what God has revealed to them. To really become successful at any level in life, it takes courage and confidence in oneself to accomplish your desired results.

When you look at the great men and women in the Bible who demonstrated courage and faith in God, they were all risk-takers. Moses, Elijah, Mary and the woman at Zarephath were all risk-takers who understood that their success was predicated upon the faith of others. They stepped out in faith and ended up reaping a tremendous blessing in their lives.

The Holy Spirit revealed to me that you are as successful as the people with whom you surround yourself. God said, you are struggling to get ahead in life and you have a difficult time completing the tasks that God has placed in your hand. There are people in your life who are lazy and have no desire to accomplish anything at any level. If you want to get out of the rut that you are in, you must begin to eliminate the “crabs” in your life that are pulling you down.

You have to get rid of your fears and become a risk-taker. Most people who are successful have fought the “fear factor” and have incredible testimonies about overcoming their own fears.
