THE HIGH PRICE FOR FAILURE

You do not fail by chance, failure is a very conscious thing. Some people will still and would have still failed even if the devil were absent. Even though failure is a very difficult status to attain in life, very many people are not too timid to pay the price. Destiny is an idea, it is not a verdict and even if it was a verdict, it can be altered. So, to use destiny as an excuse for your outcome in life is the highest form of foolery. Even though I may not remember how exactly it was said, but what some one said has struck a chord in me "I am a success today, because I did not know it was impossible for it to be so". The flip side of this would be "I am a failure today because I did not know it was impossible for me to be so". This therefore means, even if you were destined for greatness, you could still fail massively if you are willing to pay the price.
I would just point out few of the price you would have to pay:

Trivialise the issue of your choice of a spouse: The life of Whitney Houston became completely crushed because she didn't know that committing herself to Bobby Brown was an ultimate price she would have to pay for failure. Even though she was destined for greatness, she died a huge mess.

Misusing people: Gaddafi made his people into puppets. In Tunisia and Egypt, we had RULERS who felt they could continuously trample on the people. But by the time the ARAB SPRING emerged, it became clear that these RULERS had paid the ultimate price for failure.

Starting out too late: Messi at less than 30 has gotten to the peak of his career. Can you imagine if he were to join the professional league at 40? The quickest way to failure is to keep for later what you should do quickly. The other five foolish virgins went for extra oil very late, no wonder they missed the coming of the bridegroom?

Direct disdain for God: Everyone that displayed their disdain for God Almighty never stood a chance. This is the surest way I know to been a total failure. Everyone that have tried it all were grounded to powder.

No restrain / no discipline: Have sex with anyone and everyone. Buy anything and everything you desire. Eat anything and everything you want. Just do as you please. Do not initiate restrain or discipline and see how quick it is to be a world class super failure? When there are no borders or boundaries in your life, failure is the surest thing that can happen.

I cannot count how many people have joined the failure train all around the world today. So, if its your choice to join them these are some of the things to do, even though there are many more but I can guarantee you, when you do all these, there is certain no way you will not fail. I truly want to wish you ill as you do all this and I would say sincerely, see you on the other side of failure. But the only thing I would like to say is that, you better expect someone else to welcome you when you arrive because CERTAINLY I WILL NOT BE THERE AT ALL!!!
