Understanding Success Part 1

What is success?
Humans have ignorantly attempted to define their success. This is totally wrong and it is the major reason for the chaos in our world whether in form of economic recession or wars. Some selfishly set standards and made most of us believe that if we don’t meet those standard then we are not successful. So many of us have been living our lives trying to measure up to those yardsticks. My life’s manual said” has not the potter power over the clay…” Then I connected this statement with my world and concluded that man’s effort to define his success is like a computer telling its manufacturer be it IBM or Dell I am a successful product. It is up to the manufacturer of a product to determine whether a product is successful or not. So if man did not create himself that it is up to our maker to define our success. Every manufacturer before making any product set out with a goal in mind about what he intends to achieve with the product. So it is up to him to determine the success of his product. Humans are products. In all its intelligence a computer is useless without a user, the user can only relate with it through means that the maker had devised that it could be communicated with. So also is man we don’t have to be deceived by our sophistication. We are like a user to our body just like a computer operator is to a computer. We must communicate with our maker, find out our manual and study it to learn our communication strategy only then can we be a good success and be truly happy.
So success is not definitely acquiring material things which are the creatures of other men like us. Those that created these material possessions that some of us are willing to maim, kill ourselves for are people that understood how to communicate effectively with their maker and have delivered their purpose on earth.

The first lesson” No products determine its success, has not potter power over the clay.” The second lesson “you cannot attain success until you can discover and communicate with your God.” To grasp this second concept we will have some assumptions, one that our manufacturer or creator or maker is called God. Our second assumption will be that God is an English word and since this text is written in English you will permit me to use God. I will not give the evolution theory a chance, trying to claim that man was not created rather that man evolved, I think we have waited long enough and man has not evolved into another being. The reason why I align with this my intuition is because I am environmentally intelligent. Looking around I discovered none of my products or creature know man. Man is unknown to them, a car does not know its manufacturer it can only relate with it, they both operate on different level. So that the creator of man is invisible to man is not a great puzzle. So I am not scared to identify with an unknown God but definitely scared to take an iron or a tree creatures like me as my God they are definitely creature like I am. Which are created by my creator, because I have created lot of things myself he has likewise created so many. The journey to your discovery of your God starts with the fact that you must accept you are created and he created you to achieve his own purpose.

History taught us that there are many Gods represented by different objects as source of worship. History likewise taught us that they must be worshipped, which is a theory accepted by 95% of the world population and we cannot all be wrong. So assuming there are many Gods, you must discover your own that is how your success journey starts when you lay hold on your manufacturer manual. By discovering your God I mean you find out means you can communicate with him so that you find your purpose on earth. You don’t have to bother yourself about seeing him, be bothered only by your existence. We should not allow our level of intelligence to be our disadvantage since we have enough human problem to solve we should bothered about getting them solved. For example in my own country we have leadership problem, we have power problem and so many others may be you are the solution. So start this journey as fast you can. In the second part of this write up I will introduce you to my God, incase you have difficulty discovering your god, mine may be similar to yours. We should not be like a Honda CRV who is trying to figure out who created it. This is too tough a question for a Honda CRV to answer. The most important thing is to learn how to relate with him, that you have an unknown God should not be a mystery. That is how we probably are mysteries to our creatures. We are all in this world to play a definite role, that role we must make ourselves available to fulfill.
