Success is measured by the things you have done compared to what you thought of doing without actually doing them.


Success is what you have achieved compared to the resources that God has given to you. What are you using those gifts that God has given you for?. How many lives have you impacted with the resources God has given you?. That's how success it measured.



Nonetheless, it is very imperative that we advance in life as we grow older. By this I mean, we should step up in every area of our life. Are we students , take over your sphere with the authority God has given you and become successful. The sky is too wide for everybody to fly. 



The breakthroughs you will experience in the year 2018 is solely dependent on the V8
 you have created. So the question is **"what should I do so I can advance in life?"**.  The answer is simple and I will give you some keys that will help you in that regard.



Firstly, the first step to stepping up this year in all your endeavours is by believing in yourself. Self believe is stronger than the power of witchcraft. Once you believe in yourself, you meet challenges and crush them without even thinking twice. When we talk about success, I don't mean it to be only your material possessions which you have acquired but also fulfilling all your plans and purpose for life. Therefore you got to believe in yourself to accomplish all of your set targets. No one else will do that for you.





Secondly, if you want to step up in life, then you need to get rid of fear. The word of God says that's "He has not created us with the spirit of fear but of sound mind" and that is what we need to get rid of all setbacks and challenges. Reading through a book ones day, I discovered that "do not fear is written 365 times in the Bible* which means that we can actually draw strenght from one each day. Fear is a major set back which we all need to confront and not just mask if we want to progress in life.



Thirdly, choose your friends properly. Other people will say it is good to choose your inner circle. If you want to step up in life, you need to choose your friends and not the other way round. Choose friends who have the same mindset and thinking as you . While this may not be applicable 100%, it is necessary to choose friends that have vision in generally and can think at least , bringing ideas that can cause meaningful changes in the community and life in general.


Lastly, you need to rely totally on God. God has already given us His promises and we need to believe and depend on Him if you  want to step up in every area of your life. All you need do is to commit your ways unto Him and He will direct your path 



You can achieve all that you have planned for your life if you show serious determination towards it. So why not stop complaining and get to working towards making your life better right away by putting God first ?
