There is no lazy man who is successful!
Do you see a man skilled in his work? He
will serve before kings; he will not serve obscure men Proverbs 22:29 (NIV)
1. LAZINESS.
Laziness and success are parallel lines which can never meet. Laziness is an
enemy of personal responsibility. Hardwork is not the only factor to succeed but
without hardwork, success is not in view. Men like Joseph, David, Nehemiah and
others succeeded by hardwork and God’s help.
2. Procrastination.
Procrastination is a thief of time. Do what you will do now and stop postponing
it. Taking Personal Responsibility requires saying no to procrastination and
acting now. A wise man does today what others are planning to do tomorrow.
3. Complaining
and Grumbling. Complaining and Grumbling are enemies of Personal
Responsibility. Complains and grumbling shift the focus from you to others, to your situation
or other factors which are not relevant. Complaining and grumbling is shifting
responsibility instead of taking Personal Responsibility. Jabez could have accepted his situation by
complaining that it was the fault of his mother, father or his environment.
Stop grumbling and start acting.
4. Fear.
Fear is ‘False Expression Appearing Real’. Dare to look fear in the eye and
take a step today. Most of the things we are afraid of never happen. Set fear
aside and take a responsibility for your life today.
5. Indiscipline.
To be successful, you must be ready to live a disciplined life. Indiscipline has
robbed many of their success and is still robbing many more today. No matter
the level of success you have achieved, you need discipline to maintain it. Discipline
involves setting boundaries for your life. It is applying self control in every
area of life. No one will do it for you that is why it is called ‘Self Control’
and not ‘Others Control’!
Remember, nothing changes till you take
a step, engage in Personal Responsibility and your success is sure
