PREPARATION AS THE KEY TO SUCCESS & A GOOD PURPOSE IN LIFE

by Monica Lewis


   Preparation is the action or process of making ready or being made ready for use or consideration.  There are no secrets to success and a good purpose in life. It is the result of being intentional with preparation , hard work, and learning from failure. These things along with God's grace and talents given to you.
     Everything in life is about preparing and being prepared for what comes next. You have to be ready for your opportunity when it comes. It is better to be ready and not have an opportunity, then to have an opportunity and not be ready. "Success is where preparation and opportunity meet".
     Even the bible is written to prepare us for life it self while on earth. "Basic Instructions Before Leaving Earth". It's all about being prepared. Even the negative things we go through in life can be used to prepare us.
      When we look at successful people living their dream and living in purpose we only see the glories and victories. What we don't see is the preparation that got them there. All the praying, studying, exercise, sleepless nights, life experiences and hard work that sums up to the preparation that met the opportunity to be victorious. Philippians 4:13 says, " I can do all things through Christ because he gives me strength". We are given strength through Christ to work hard and prepare for all that he longs for us to have and do. It's not just given to us. We have to do more than just want it. But ask for it and work hard for it to be prepared when our time comes to fulfill our purpose.
     Along with being intentional with the preparation for our purpose and success. We must also be confident. Genesis 1:27 says, "God created human beings in his image. In the image of God he created them. He created them male and female".  You are imprinted with God like characteristics, your God likeness is the path to your greatest fulfillment. You are creative, spiritual, intelligent and strong because God is all of that and more. So be confident and do not get weary in preparing for all that God has made you to be. When your opportunity arises be prepared to slay.
