“Jabez called on the God of Israel saying, “Oh that you would bless me indeed, and enlarge my territory, that Your hand would be with me, and that You would keep me from evil, that I may not cause pain!” So God granted him what he requested” 1 Chronicles 4:10.
To become successful or fulfilled in life you must start with a dream. A life dream is the way you want to live, not just the things you want to own. It is the person you want to be not just the title you want to see under your name on the door. It is the mindset that you have not the degrees you earn. A life dream is in actuality the world view that you claim as your own.
The critical point to recognize is that both the unlimited potential of childhood and the tight constraints of adulthood originate and reside primarily in the imagination. If you believe you can, you probably can and if you believe that you cannot you most assuredly will not. It is therefore important to identify what your life dream is. To do so start by setting an atmosphere for yourself that is conducive to identifying your life dreams. A prayer to God may guide you on the direction you should take.
Start by revisiting your childhood dreams because in most cases childhood dreams hold the key to the person’s true cache of talents, abilities and motivation. I remember as I child I was the family counselor even though I was the youngest. As I grew older I would notice that if there was a family crisis my family would insist on consulting with me first before acting. I became a lawyer because of the need to defend the cause of those oppressed but I realized I was counseling more and felt more fulfilled when I reconciled my clients. I decided to go back to school to add counseling to my qualifications and I know that this is what I was called to do in life.
To determine your life dream ask yourself the following questions:
1) If you had a great deal of money what would you do that you cannot do now?
2) What one thing in your life would you really like to experience in your life?

Simple Steps to personal success
“This book of the Law shall not depart form your mouth, but you shall mediate in it day and night, that you may observe to do according to all that is written in it. For then you will make your way prosperous, and then you will have good success” Joshua 1: 8.
Many people in the world are miserable looking for something that seems elusive to them. They want success which is defined by external things like material wealth, power, or a big title. Yet there are others who have all the things that some define as success but have discovered that they are still not happy even though what they wanted is now theirs. So what is the problem?
The secret of getting what you what and wanting what you have is first learning how to be happy, loving, confident and peaceful regardless of your outer conditioning. Personal success comes from within and is achieved when you are able not only to be yourself but also to love yourself. It is feeling confident, happy and powerful in the process of doing what you want to do.
If you are already happy and you know that you are not dependent on more money to be happy, greater wealth can make you happier but is not the condition for your happiness. The more you think that money is capable of making you happy the more you give away your power to be happy without it. In his book “How to get what you want and want what you have”, John Gray suggests the following four steps in achieving personal success.
Step one: Set your intention- Recognize where you are now and clearly see where you need to go to achieve the right balance of inner and outer success for you. In other words “be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God” Romans 12:2. Ask God for the direction of your life.

The Importance of Setting Goals for your life
“The purposes of a man’s heart are deep waters, but a man of understanding draws them out” – Proverbs 20:5.
If you want to be successful in life, start by setting goals for yourself. Goals help you focus on what is important instead of reacting to whatever is thrown into your path. Goals provide clarity about what you want and determine the direction of your decision rather than leaving things to happen inadvertently. Setting your goals helps you think about them and talk about them to others and in the process attract the right people, ideas and circumstances into your life to make your goals come into fruition.
How then do you go about setting your goals?
Establish what your mission in life is and make this your main purpose or major goal in life. Your mission in life must be compatible with your true self. This will entail you identifying your strengths and weaknesses. Richard N Bolles said, God has already revealed His will to us concerning our vocation and mission by causing it to be” written in our members”. We are to begin deciphering our unique mission by studying our talents and skills and particularly which ones (or one) we most rejoice to use.
