Codes of a successful life:
1. Vision
2. Passion
3. Preparation
4. Planning
5. Courage
6. Integrity
7. Perseverance.
*Vision:
The Greek word for vision is "hazon" Which means to see, while the Hebrew word is "Opstia" which means coming into view.
Vision is the basis from which all other elements of achieving success generate. A vision is something you see yourself doing or come to knowledge of doing. There are people who had some earthly visions in the past and worked fervently towards achieving it. Today their names can never be forgotten. Examples are Richard Stearns, Blaise Pascal, Isaac Newton, Bill Gate, Aliko Dangote, Warren Buffet and lots more. These people were able to put their mental focus into practice that transformed into realities.
Points to Note:
*Your Labour should be in your vision.
*Follow Your true Vision as you understand it.
*Work Fervently for your true vision to come into reality.
*Believe so much in your true vision in life.
The clearer your vision, the closer you are to your success because there is more to us than we know. If we are made to see it, perhaps for the rest of our lives we will not be willing to settle for anything less. May God almighty strengthen your visions. Amen.

*Passion:
Passion is the power everyone needs to pursue, accomplish his true vision. It Is a very strong feeling for someone or something just as fuel that aids combustion in our vehicles, without fuel a vehicle will not move. Nelson Mandela once said that, "passion makes the world go around and love just make it safer". Your passion is the force that will push you towards actualizing your goal on earth. It encompasses love, interest, enthusiasm, admiration or desire towards achieving something meaningful.
During the process of pursuing your goal, you are bound to fail, Make mistakes or stumble but it does not matter how many times you fail, fall and stumble. What matters the most Is not to quench the passion but pursue and push on until you archive your desired goal.
Nathaniel Hawthoms wrote "Follow your passion, success will follow you" Never you underestimate your strength or kill your passion towards achieving any positive goal in life. Life is not too long but short. Therefore, if there is a moment to follow your passion and do something that really matters, that moment is now.
*Preparation:
The word prepared means "To establish, fix, prepare, or apply". To archive anything in life we must first prepare our hearts towards it. We must be ready to face challenges and overcome the obstacles that come with it. The reason most people can't actualize their dream due to lack of preparation No student ever plan to fail, but they fail to understand that failing to plan is planing to fail.
Preparation is essential and very important in archiving our goals in life so I encourage you and remind you to be prepared, ready, establish and get your heart fixed towards achieving your goals in life. It takes the talent of a man to take him to the top, don't stop in developing yours.
*Planning:
A man without a proper plan in life ends up achieving nothing. What plans do you and I have towards our future? Alan Lakem ones said, Failing to plan is planning to fail. When you look around you today you will see that majority of the persons that failed are those without good plans. We all need quiet moments for ourselves to enable us think and plan for brighter future. Note that it is not late to start now. Alen white said "Lot of my time was spent on thinking, searching and planning my life". Always learn to plan ahead of time because what Differentiate the rich, middle-class and the poor is that the poor plans ahead only in few weeks or days towards what they excute. If you want to stay continuously on top then you must continue to plan by way of annual budgeting and proper execution thereof.
*Courage:
To achieve any goal in life you must not be afraid to confront challenges that you may encounter along the way because nothing good can come without challenges. Many people are hindered by the spirit of fear that lives within; do not give in for fear it aids failure. Goals and timing of realization defers, yours might require much time to achieve than someone else's, the end justifies the means.
Most people who have succeeded in life experienced one or several challenges before they became successful in what
They wanted. Challenges are part of living. I will like to conclude that courage is a very vital tool everyone requires in accomplishing his goal in life. I pray the Lord almighty increases the courage you need in accomplishing your desired goal in life. Amen!
*Integrity:
Integrity is a very important factor that we need in achieving a successful life. It is the overall quality that makes it possible to live the life you desire. The reason why some people fail and others succeed is that they do not possess the integrity to achieve their goals in life. Maria Razumich-Zec wrote, "Your reputation and integrity are everything, follow through on what you say you are going to do. Your credibility can only be built over time and it is built from the history of your words and action".
Let people see you as a person that says something and do what you say. People may doubt your words but don't let them doubt what you will do, ensure you do not disappoint your generation. There are people you are unconsciously mentoring.
*Perseverance:
Though in the time past and even presently, many people have been able to translate their visions into reality and recorded great achievements and accomplishments not because they were extraordinary people, business mogul, military or politicians and many more still winning.
They were people who weren't defiled by any odd that came along their ways, but embraced long-suffering and Perseverance. The word Perseverance is very strong, it encompasses determination, tenacity and patience. It is a very important virtue of life and ingredient of achieving our successes on earth. We can't do without it, if we must be successful. Be steady in the face of all difficulties, delays and discouragement.
Maya Angelou wrote, "You may encounter many defeats, but you must not be defeated. In fact, it may be necessary to encounter the defeats so you can know who you are, what you can rise from, how to rise from, how you can still come out of it."
One thing is to have a wonderful vision and/or how to achieve a particular goal, another reason thing is to be able to persist on the cause of action towards achieving it irrespective of the defects or obstacle you may encounter on your way.
Mind you the differ between he that failed is all about Perseverance.
John C. Maxwell said, The only guarantee for failure is to stop trying. You are destined for success and not failure thereby continue to try, one day you will achieve your goal.
