Success, according to Webster’s New Collegiate Dictionary, is a “degree or measure of succeeding, the attainment of wealth or favor or eminence, standing out. So as to be readily perceived or noted.” Very often, success depends on your faith and your won abilities.To understand this better, let’s imagine one went to a plant nursery and bought a ficus tree to grow inside. A ficus is a very sensitive plant, which needs close attention and care. It is common knowledge that a plant will go through an adjustment period when transferred from outdoors to inside.A plant expert would say,” The ficus will loose two or three dozen leaves during this adjustment period.”
However, if you have faith in your ability to care for the plant, and give it positive attention, the
ficus will remain resilient, and not loose many leaves. In effect faith will allow one to be success
ful even if then “experts”. say differently. If you didn’t have this faith, the ficus may not have
survived. When you approach your work, you must also have positive faith in order to succeed.
Don’t say, ” I can’t do that. ” Say instead, ” It can be done.” Have faith in yourself, and you will
be able to succeed in all aspects of your life. Faith brings enormous results every time. “If thou
can believe, all things are possible to him that believeth.” Mark 9:23.
