I hate sounding like a bad record, yet I cannot really stop myself from writing about the importance of having a strong spiritual force backing up anybody who wants to be truly successful.
I have seen and heard of so many cases that makes an extraordinary case for the existence of spiritual forces that somehow have a way of influencing physical activities.
It take much more than skills to achieve success in life, a lot of people attribute their success to luck. Only that there is no such thing as luck. Luck is a word thrown around often by people who are trying to cover up what they really did. I am not a lucky man, I am a blessed man; my days are always lit up with good things always coming my way.
On paper, 2+2 always produces 4. But in reality 2+2+x is what gives us the answer, and you can consider x to be the sum total of all the forces working for and against you.
These things are subtle, slippery. Whenever we fail at something, there will always be physical things to point at but at times, these things are more than meets the eye.
So, be more spiritual. If you are a Christian as I am, then you ought to create an habit of praying everyday, studying the word of God and developing your spirit man. (We eat everyday as our living well depends on it. Praying is more important)
If you are of another faith, press into it and study how you can accumulate spiritual power. (If your religion fails to grant you access to such powers, I can assure you there is power in my own faith – It has never failed me and I would be glad to show you how we do it.)
Time invested into developing spiritual power is not a waste; you will need it for maximum success in anything you decide to spend your time doing.
