Secrets of family success

I hear so much of failed families.But what's right with those that are a success is still mystery to many. I want to discuss some key's to a happy successful family that has thrived for ages and is and will still be relevant. 1. Teamwork: In a successful family,husband and wife view themselves as "our"and"we" rather than "mine"and "me".when there's teamwork husband and wife are no longer single at heart but united.Unity is essential in the progress of any venture.United we stand,divided we fall. Follow me for more.

It's not over until it's over.

Hope is an expectation of something to happen or come.When we hope and the thing expected is delayed or not seen we go into the state of hopelessness.Many people can attest to what i wrote above.Whether you are a parent,business person,student,e.t.c,never loose hope,re-examine yourself because doing the samething always and expecting different result's is madness/insanity.Do your best and leave the rest to God.There's nothing like a hopeless situation;people only become hopeless about a situation.Read biographies of great men like Dale Carnegie,Abraham Lincoln,e.t.c,they rose to greatness with hardwork and the grace of God.It's not over until you stop breathing,that's death.You can make it.

Positive Attitude

One essential ingredient in winning battle against failure or becoming successful in life is positive attitude.Positive attitude isn't just positive thinking,it involves positive doing. Someone told me that ''not everyone is born an optimist".Whether you like it or not being optimistic is a choice.It's not easy being optimistic,but it gives hope for betterment.Atimes this hope is dashed but an optimist never loose hope.I have seen challenges and overcomed them,but it wasn't easy but with tenacity and perseverance i became an overcome.The audacity of your hope impacts your life.Our attitude affects our aptitude and altitude.Reading John C. Maxwell's book titled "failing forward"i came across an observation by university of pennsylvania psychology professor Martin Seligman that "the people who bounce back are optimists".I agree with him.Optimism is required for a positive transformation in life.Pessimism is a waste of God-given energy,it stagnates creativity.Pessimist can never win over optimism.Yes,wisdom is required in everything we do in life.Prof. Martin Seligman has developed a master's degree in applied positive psychology called M.A.P.P. i.e,master's in applied positive psychology. Choose today to have a positive mindset coupled with positive doing/action,then you will meet success.Failure is an event or detour and not a person.God is not a failure so,He never created one.Be positive,God bless you.
