1. Primary Level of Success:
This is where you have to man up challenges rather than seek 100% help from external sources. Your family and friends expect to depend on you rather than having you depend on them.
In this level of sucess, days of boyishness remain in "those days". You are obligated to solve personal and family financial challenges. You don''t have to be sixty. You don''t have to be married. You can be thirteen and be in this level. Your age will not be an excuse here. There are no rules. Creativity and business applications put you here.
2. Secondary Level of Success:
You have to become a voice at least in your immediate and neighboring communities if you cannot afford being a voice in the society at large. Who you are known to be and what you are known for becomes a criteria. Understand this; your achievement is incomplete if you are just a "figure" in the society and like the garbage, one day, you will be thrown in a trash.
Your personality is a voice in this level of success. Your input is cherished and your decision not to be involved in a subject pose questions and puzzles to the society. You are as powerful as you can imagine. Simply put, this is where you claim your place in the society - not by contesting high-ranked political offices but by simply having this level of achievement speak for you.
3. Mining Level of Success:
I wonder what sprang in your subconscious when you saw the word "mining" up on this level. What is the use of your success if people cannot benefit from it? You came empty handed and so you will return. Every achievement you attain on earth is for the benefit of the earth and all its inhabitants. God didn''t stop creation; He made man and empowered him to continue. We carry His breath, not just His image. We carry His creative abilities through the greatest, unexplainable power available to mankind - IMAGINATION. Going back to nature with the virginity of purpose is an ill-display of ungratefulness.
This is the level where you become a ladder for people to grow to the peak of fulfillment. Mine people, help them cultivate the wealth of potent abilities fashioned in them. This is the highest point of fulfillment. Once you can help people grow, you have unconsciously whispered; ''I am but a filthy rag not worthy of the table''. Instantly, you get cleaned up and taken. You become more empowered to empower others. You become an icon, a model and a mentor.
ON A FINAL N0TE;
Every human being should strive to achieve these 3levels of success. The good thing is this; you don''t have to be a multimillionaire to be in this level. Fulfilment is not based on how much money you have stored in your bank account, how many houses you have built or what brand of exotic car you drive. Fulfillment is based on how many lives you have lifted.
