What does success really mean

The ninth barrier to success is the pain of humiliation. This impediment is destructive and has led not a few people to take their own lives. Call it shame or disgrace, ridicule or embarrassment, humiliation is one vicious enemy that paralyzes or neutralizes success. Many people have lost their lives prematurely because of shame and humiliation. While some truly deserve to be humiliated because of their irresponsibility, others are mere innocent victims. Many times, the brigades of failure and misery lure people to indulge in certain activities that coerces them to find themselves in awkward situations that lead to humiliation and regret. Someone can suffer humiliation when he or she commits an anti-social or illegal act like stealing, drug trafficking and fraud. Humiliation can demoralize an individual or people. It can distract and agitate anyone. It is the abasement of one’s dignity. Disgrace or humiliation simply means to be out-of-grace. It means: to lose honor, to disfavor, to bring shame, to lose reputation, to discredit, to degrade, to dehumanize, to scandalize, to lose respect, to lose a good name. Humiliation can ruin anyone. It is a raging emotional fire and a devourer of dignity. It devours the confidence and self-esteem of its victims. The impact of the humiliation can be absolutely shattering and withering.

The tenth barrier to success is what we refer to as the sting of premature death. It is an artillery of adversity that blows up people’s destinies like a bunker buster bomb. It has terminated the goals of countless people and abruptly obliterated even those who are succeeding on various fronts. Enjoy!

The seventh barrier to success is “a roadblock called DELAY”.

Delay is the unanticipated impediment of any activity. It means to hinder, to postpone, to slow down something or an event, to make it late. It is an obstacle to success that plagues humanity. It can aptly be referred to as a stronghold of misery. Delay causes disappointments, stagnation, and embarrassment. Oftentimes, people encounter difficult seasons in life that are caused by delay. This roadblock called delay wipes out people’s hopes and joy. Delay always collaborates with the forces of disappointments. Every human being suffers the scourge of delay and disappointments one way or another. Delay frustrates people’s dreams and leads to hopelessness. Every human being is susceptible to the anguish caused by delay. It can manifest through sickness, humiliation, disappointment, scarcity, or something else. Never allow temporary delays to deter you from achieving your goals and aspirations.

Furthermore, the eighth barrier to success is: “The blaze of discouragement”. It means to take away hope, to empty of courage, to demoralize or to dispirit, to strike at the human emotions, to drain the soul of courage. It's assignment is to hinder people’s progress and plunge them into depression or hopelessness, which undoubtedly would usher in failure. Discouragement is a vote of no confidence in hope. It is a universal plague that exerts pressure on people to give up. There is no human being who has never failed or suffered setbacks. Fear attracts discouragement. The fear of failure, the fear of rejection, the fear of embarrassment, and the fear of criticism can lead to discouragement. The most reliable antidote for discouragement is perseverance, which has the potential to extinguish discouragement. Be determined never to consider the possibility of defeat or surrender your will to the bandits of discouragement.

The fifth barrier to success is what we refer to as the arrow of depression, a plunderer that torments many lives indiscriminately. This episode unequivocally unmasks the strategies and adverse impact of this cruel and monstrous predator called depression.

Has life become a bitter pill for you? Do you wake up in the mornings to a surge of sorrow piercing deeply through your heart? Have you ever been so sad to the extent that you felt like giving up or terminating your journey of life? Never allow depression to amputate your destiny. Life is relatively short, but it can be beautiful, and you can enjoy life again.

It is true that depression is a devourer of one’s peace as it can pilfer the joy, peace, strength, health, and life of every human being. It is a gruesome force of negative energy on a merciless mission to destroy humanity. It is no respecter of persons. It does not discriminate between the rich or the poor, male or female, young or old. It torments even very young people with seemingly little or no obligations to worry about. It also torments adults. Depression is an emotional state of mind, usually a serious mood disorder caused by profound grief, sadness, frustration, and a sense of hopelessness over a period of time which affects people’s disposition and impedes their ability to enjoy everyday life. It leads to a loss of energy as it weakens the human immune system and causes physical decline. It is a state of mental or psychological disorder of a person or people.

The sixth barrier to success is what we have termed “the fiery darts of infirmity”. By infirmity, we are referring to the disability of the human body or a state of poor physical well-being, which is a fiery dart that paralyzes success. Infirmity also refers to moral disability, frailty, or pain. Infirmity hinders people’ s progress. It is an enemy of humanity that destroys many lives. We must, therefore, insulate ourselves from the scourge of infirmity by paying more attention to our wellbeing. There are many darts of infirmity, and some are caused by carelessness or lifestyle. Truly, it is amazing how failure is packaged in several forms of sickness and diseases. Infirmity is the enemy of success as it is a destructive force that hinders success. Therefore, treat all manners of sickness and diseases like the enemy they truly are. Do not be gullibly religious to the extent of refusing to seek medical attention. Enjoy

This episode expounds the third and fourth barriers to success, to wit: (i) the WMD called fear and (ii) an ancient chain called poverty. Fear, the third barrier to success is a pernicious weapon of mass destruction. Fear and ignorance work hand-in-hand. The fear of death and failure are the greatest fears of all. Perverted fear, such as the fear of the unknown, the fear of rejection, the fear of embarrassment, the fear of failure, the fear of indebtedness and the fear of death are toxic to the human mind. Countless people fail because of fear. It has caused many people to terminate their lives, which is one of the major causes of premature death the world over. Fear is everywhere. From little children to the grayed haired, fear torments, it paralyses and confuses people. It has driven many people to become addicted to alcohol and drugs. Fear is human. Perverted fear is a powerful negative energy that hinders success. Death is the perversion of life. Wickedness, the perversion of love and fear, the perversion of hope. Perverted fear has become so natural that we do not even realize it is a tormenting energy that subtly ravages many lives.

The fourth barrier to success is an ancient chain called poverty. Many people suffer grievously from the scourge of poverty, a very brutal instrument of failure. Poverty is an ancient chain that incapacitates countless people and frustrates success from coming their way. It is a stronghold of despair that aims at keeping many people from fulfilling their dreams and happiness. It is a subtle but effective instrument of misery that controls people’s finances and plunges them into perpetual lack of ideas, money, or material possessions. It is the extreme opposite of wealth and happiness. Poverty is a dreadful barrier to success. It can come in the form of lack, delay, loss, and financial debt. It is a humiliating phenomenon. It reinforces helplessness. The voice of the poor is hardly heard. Many people suffer severely from the scourge of poverty, such as the lack of basic needs like food, water, shelter, clothing, and healthcare. The worst aspects of poverty are hunger and sickness. Poverty is a destroyer as it can wreck the soul and body of any human being. It nurtures depression and fear. Poverty is terrible as it is the citadel of wretchedness. It breeds inferiority complex. It exposes its victims to ridicule. Poverty is a tragedy and inveterate evidence of financial leprosy. Sometimes, it is also evidence of laziness, low self-esteem, drought of integrity, poor planning, bad habits, or foolishness. It is a form of oppression and evidence of deception. It causes hatred, selfishness, greed, division, and depression. The antidote for poverty is success. So, how can this barrier to success be overcome and subdued? Listen to this exhilarating piece. Enjoy!

Every normal human being desires to succeed in life, but gauchely, many are never prepared for success. Not a few are incarcerated in the penitentiary of various barriers to success where they are mired in the cesspit of various obstacles to success such as: the virus called wickedness, the two-edged sword called ignorance and deception, the weapon of mass destruction (WMD) called fear, the ancient chain called poverty, the arrow of depression, the fiery of darts of infirmity, a roadblock called delay, the blaze of discouragement, the pain of humiliation and the sting of premature death.

The human mind is incredibly limitless, powerful and indestructible. Therefore, we have got to exercise our minds just like we exercise our bodies. What happens when we stimulate and nourish our minds? Inventions take place. What happens when the mind is starved and malnourished? Ignorance pollutes the human mind like cancer and the result is usually devastating.

Through the Exceptional Living Channel, we have reeled out various ways to nourish the human mind. The internet for instance is a wonder of the human mind. When the mind becomes idle, it regresses into a workplace for evil works. It is said that an idle mind is the devil’s workshop. When the human mind is polluted by vicious viruses and devilish ideas, any society could be in jeopardy. The human brain or mind is no accident. It is designed to empower every human being to dominate the world. Anyone who desires to attract success in various ramifications must therefore strive to stimulate his or her brain power because the human mind rules the world.

The laws of the universe are principles that govern life. Whoever breaks the law of productivity will suffer for it. Those who adhere to these laws would likewise benefit from them. The Seed and Ant Philosophies explains the laws that governs this material world.

At the Exceptional Living Channel, we have reeled out the mystery of the seed which is a shadow of the law that governs life, the law of cause and effect. There are two kinds of seeds: tangible and intangible seeds. Tangible seeds are for the soil of the Earth while intangible seeds are for the soil of the human mind. Every physical invention is the result of intangible seeds that were first planted and nurtured in the soil of the mind. Every human being was once a small seed planted in the uterus of a woman

Everything on Earth has a purpose, even mosquitoes, flies, rats, spiders, ants, worms and cockroaches. Ants give us a fascinating philosophy for success. What lessons are there to learn from ants that have been in existence for over one hundred million years? Ants are fascinating little creatures that can outwit humans. They hardly quit. They are one of the most populous living creatures on Earth. They are exceptionally magnificent in their diligence. We must therefore consider the ways of the ants and be wise.
