A MUST READ FOOD FOR THOUGHT……………… I believe we all know what we want in life, to our carriers and in our relationship. We even sometimes even know what we want and yet we seldom to get them. This is because there are things that stand in our ways in achieving or attaining them. In view of that I want us to look at ways of our achievement, attaining of fulfillment and significant. Here it goes… 1. IGNORANT OF SPIRITUAL LAWS: There are laws that determine the kind of success we want to have, for instance the spiritual law that says “if you want to receive give” if you don’t give, you cannot receive: it is as simple as that. But that is not the only law that controls life. There are others but the problem is that many of us are either ignorant or dismissive of this laws and we wonder why things are not working well as they should and if you want to discover this laws I recommend that you make it a habit to read the book of proverbs in the Bible as if your life depends on it. 2. LACK OF BELIEVE THAT YOU ARE WORTHY: It may be hard for you to accept but there are people who lack success because they do not believe that they are worthy of it. There people who moves from one terrible relationship to another because they do not believe they are worthy of love. There are people whose lives are going nowhere simply because they do not believe that they are worthy of any good things. 3. FEAR: Fear of failure; fear of rejection; fear of the unknown and all kind of fear holds many people of us in hostage and rob us of fulfilling our potential. For instance there are people with wonderful business ideas who will never get started because they are afraid of failure. There are people who are not in any relationship because of the fear of rejection. Fear stands between many of us and the achievement that are within are grabbed. 4. PRIDE: The Bible said that pride goes before a fall and it is true for life. Many people repel success and goodwill by their pride. It is pride that makes people refuses to start small; it is pride that makes it difficult for people to reach out to help us. Pride stands in the way of too many of us… 5. OUR SOCIALIZATION: What we take from our society in which we are raised can hold us back. An issue of a young boy of ten years who said all he wanted in life was to be a driver’s mate. He said he did not want anything more because if he became successful someone will use either “JUJU” or witchcraft to kill him. He had taken that from the society in which he lived in which the dead of a successful people is blamed on witches and “JUJU”….. There are men whose relationships are suffering because they cannot show tenderness in affections because they have been socialized to believe that a man should be hard and insensitive to their women’s need. There are families that do not allow their daughters to go to school because of their socialization that they thought it was no use sending a girl child to school. We should constantly question the values we have been taught by the society in which we were raised, so we do not invite values that cripple us. 6. SPIRITUAL TEACHINGS AND BEHAVIOR: Our believes and can hold us back more than anything else. In the 90’s I met a wonderful boy who held a lot of promising as a footballer. He was a star of a coast team and of the whole district. I met him some years later when he was in Senior High School where I discover that he stop playing soccer altogether. I asked him why he had given up to soccer, then he said to me that his pastor told him that it does not pleased God for a Christian to be playing soccer. That pastors wrong teachings rob Ghana of a possible Lionel Mecci. Spiritual teachings could be empowered if they are right unfortunately most of what goes in the of spiritual teachings in the name of believe are toxic to the soul and life…… 7. ATTITUDE: It has been said at your attitude will determined your altitude. In other words your attitude determines how high and far you can go in life. Every now and then take the time to ask yourself what is my attitude towards to life, to work, to success, to worth. If you do it right you may be able to throw off shackles that may be holding you back…. 8. SELF DISCIPLINE: The lack of discipline has been the down fall of many. The lack of self discipline can hold you back or even bring you down. We need to find a way to live a discipline life. So we are not caught in many schemers that lives seems to entrap us with. 9. LACK OF INTEGRITY: There are people whose lack of integrity keeps slamming doors of opportunity in their faces. If people cannot trust you they cannot do business with you and they cannot give you job opportunity…. 10. LACK OF COURAGE: Folk’s life is neither for the faint hearted nor for the weak. No one accomplishes anything in life without courage. No wonder God encourage Joshua to be strong and courageous. So there you have it; ten (10) things that can hold us back: Let’s start to change now and hoping to witness a better tomorrow….
