    About this ebook

    "This is a must-have confidence builder of a book. It would serve as a most nourishing fodder of insight, positive thinking, motivation and power for anyone who is deeply hungry for success, and in search of a reason to make the most of life's opportunities."

    You will also discover:

    - Secrets that will save you years of wasted efforts
    - Abraham Lincoln's success secrets
    - How to conquer self doubts, and live the life you were born to live
    - Obstacles that you must avoid in your pursuit of success

    Certainly, there is more to life than just the daily routine of eating, sleeping and waking. We are able to do much more than we are currently doing, or more than we have ever imagined. It is only those who dare to achieve the impossible who have helped to truly shape our civilisation; great inventors like Thomas Edison are made, not born; so also are the likes of Abraham Lincoln, William Shakespeare, Albert Einstein, Warren Buffett, Steve Jobs, Bill Gates, Richard Branson and many more.

    We often read only of the successes of great men and women, but are never told of their failures, trials, and difficult life circumstances, obstacles of birth and the adversities they had to overcome before they became true success stories.

    This book would greatly help to sharpen your insight, and enrich your understanding of how you too can achieve great success in life, regardless of what your current situation might be. You will be inspired, and encouraged to conquer your fears, and to dare great heights. It would serve as a handy toolbox for overcoming any limiting factors that may have hindered your from truly believing in yourself, and in your ability to achieve great success in life.

      I bargain with life for a penny.

      And life would pay no more

      However I begged at evening

      When I counted my scanty store.

      For life is a just employer

      He gives you what you ask.

      But once you have set the wages,

      Why you must bear the task.

      I worked for a menial’s hire.

      Only to learn dismayed,

      That any wage I had asked of life

      Life would have willingly paid.

      INTRODUCTION

      Aim For The Stars

      Has it ever occurred to you as with me, to think that there is more to life than we currently imagine as possible? Have you ever felt that life could not just be about eating, drinking, raising children, sleeping, waking, working, return home and pay the bills? Does not this sense of awareness come with both a feeling of disappointment, and a sense of awakening that we could do much more with our lives than we are currently doing?

      Psychologists have not even made things easier. They tell us that we only use a very small fraction of our brain capacity, perhaps just as little as about 10% of our God-given human faculty. So, what happens to the remaining 90% or thereabout of our unused brain capacity – does it remain wasted, and unused? Now , that to me is very, very scary and possibly tragic.

      If we human beings could go through life using only a very small fraction of the capacity of the brain, then we do indeed disappoint both ourselves and our Maker when to go to our final, and ultimate home thinking that we have not done well in life because we tragically under-utilize our potential as human beings.

      We should always want to be and do more – and to achieve more with our lives. There is so much poverty, ignorance and suffering in the world that it is not permissible for any member of the human race to fall behind in exploiting the full potential of their brain or capacity to achieve and do more.

      I don’t know about you, but I really would not want to waste away whatever talent that it might please God to give to me, and also in helping others to find theirs. The truths remains that many people are simply sleep-walking through life oblivious to opportunities to improving, achieving and doing more with their lives. Then on the day they exit from the stage of human living, we mourn their loss – but also their failure in not achieving much more with their lives.

      But the question you probably want to ask me is this, "But should we really be concerned or worried about this? Why don’t we just take each day as it comes, do what we can, and leave the rest? Is that not enough?

      My honest submission is that it is never enough to just do the minimum, and not aspire to be more. More so, we have more than enough evidence to support the ability of man and woman to achieve the impossible; man has unlimited potential, and can unleash this power to achieve the truly miraculous.

      Aspire, and Achieve More

      It is my hope that this little book of destiny would truly challenge you to do more, even with the little that you have got.
