A PRACTICAL GUIDE TO GREATNESS (THE COMPOUND EFFECT)


Ladies and gentlemen, after reading this today, I hope that you do not remain at the same spot or continue to have a myopic mindset as regarding how to attain success but through a significant momentum called greatness. There are no great men, only great challenges that ordinary men are forced by circumstances to meet.

Value is determined by sacrifice and so what you value, you must sacrifice to achieve it.
However far your wings can fly, the sky is wide enough to take you and will definitely not encumber you from trying to reach it.
There are significant values you should possess to get to the top.

Diligence - Is the ability to make earnest and constant effort to accomplish a given task. You must be self-motivated and energetic towards achieving a certain goal. I believe that when we work, we should work with our brains and not just our hands. While working, seek more knowledge to be the best in your field and that will position you for success.

Patience - Is the capacity for bearing pain without complain. Patience doesn't give up no matter what. It stays to build a place and gets you committed. Patience develops you for your next phase in life. When in patience, avoid complaining or grumbling in difficult situations because at the end, it would help refine your character and prepare you for any contingency.

Perseverance - Is the continued effort to do or achieve something. Perseverance is patience assimilated with action. The ability to persevere is a way to perceive how prepared you are for success. If you persevere, you would push your way through challenges to greatness.
When you fail, get up and try again and again until that which you desire comes through.

Greatness depends in the quality of a person's life.
Success is what happens when preparation meets opportunity. You need to get prepared no matter how small.

Do you know about the compound effect?
It is a way of reaping huge rewards from small seemingly insignificant actions. This word compound effect has been running our lives whether we are aware or not. The velocity at which something is done or not done still has a compound effect. 
Whether you choose to do something today to change your life or you do nothing to better your life, you get a reward still. That's compound effect!
So the question is, what are you doing daily? 
You can't change your life until you change something you do daily.
What is your compound effect?
Would it lead to greatness someday or would it lead to your downfall someday.

Another thing is consistency which is absolutely the ultimate key to greatness.
Small choices+consistency+time produces significant results.

Another key to greatness is - Are you learning something new each day?

The earlier you start making logical changes in your life, the more compound effect works in your favor.
Remember also that the greatness of a person is measured by his service to others.

Ascend to greatness with little by little actions. A little becomes a lot with consistency which eventually leads to success.

All you need is a strong and genuine desire, a good purpose and a good company along the way.

SEE YOU AT THE TOP!




Thanks for reading.
