Beyond Hard Work and Luck: The Spiritual Dimension of Success
This world we live in goes beyond the physical, as our achievements are not 100% our hard work and are neither just luck nor coincidence. I am one of those people who believes in the fact that whatever happens in the physical has already been stamped in the spiritual.
A lot of people bank on their success based on their hard work. They struggle day in and day out to make the bag, but most times it seems the universe is not by their side.
To some, it is not even the books you read or aspire to acquire until you retire to somalia motivation speeches you get from billionaires who have made it. Most of them would not tell you the truth: aside from having great personal development, hard work, consistency, persistence, and all that jargon, there is spirituality to it all.
Most of the well-known popular people—politicians, musicians, engineers, and businessmen—are not what they are because they entirely followed a process of hard work or smart work. There is a very high chance they all had a secret room where they went spiritual to fight all the spiritual battles.
If you think your hard work is all it takes to be where you are, or if you think luck is what would take you out there, then you are just a boat heading to nowhere island.
This is the utmost reason why, every day, I pray against every spiritual battle or attack. I do my best and then leave the rest for my God to take care of.
As much as you also chose to go spiritual in your case, if at all God chooses to bless you, it is important to have something you are doing. It is important that you are working on yourself and not lying idle waiting for a miracle to happen.
A reminder of the definition of success is that opportunity means preparation. God cannot bless someone who has nothing he is doing or someone who is not working on himself or any skill. Luck cannot just happen like that, and even though you get lucky enough to get across an opportunity, you will lose it.
Personally, I have had cases of losing opportunities because I was not prepared for them, and this was recent. It was a promising job, but I was not skilled enough to take up that job. This would have been life-changing if I had those skills, and then people around me would be saying, Yes, he is lucky.
The point is this: don't focus only on one thing; as much as you are hardworking and banking for luck to be at your side, also go spiritual to fight spiritual battles. Don't be the next victim of your village people and then you will see how life will work out well for you.

Hahaha 😂😂, is your ending paragraph for me oo 😂
But that's on point, some people are working hard each day without nothing to show for it and some of the reasons could be traced back to spiritual battles. In our hardworking, staying alert spiritually is the best.
Yeah, that's the truth. If we stay alert spiritually, we are making sure what we do physically obtains the desired result.
I believe in the spiritual aspect myself. The mindset will spark the inspiration to do the right things at the right time and help form the vision.
Exactly! I really appreciate your contribution to the post.
Everything that happens in the physical has already been settled in the spiritual,i totally agree with you,God can only bless the work of your hands,so work and pray then you have success.
This also implies that if you don't have anything doing,and you are praying to God for success,you just dey waste time.
Nice writeup 🤗
exactly the point and there are many people in Nigerian that are wasting their times. They are only known for praying and not putting any work to bring major changes to their lives.
There are a lot of things attached the spirituality and I agree with your points. A lot of wealthy people out there are not telling people everything and I believe that we must always be prepared for luck before it comes our way because being unprepared can make us lose it.
exactly! we need to be prepared for opportunities that comes our way or else we would lose it. and if that happens that is when people call it badluck
I believe, we can change our fate through hard work. We should work hard until God will write what is not our fate. It usually happened people work hard but they didn't find what they expected. I agreed on this point, we should make a balance between hard work and spirituality then we can make sure our success.

Thank you. I am glad that you see the point in my blog.
You are welcome Sir, have a good day ☺️.
As if I was reading a Pastors post.. hahahahahaha, you just made a good point here. If God's hand is not in what a man is doing he can labour and make much but it flys away over night. Life is spiritual, but men should also not be lazy.. hahahaha
Thanks for sharing
Lol, as if you were reading a pastor's post. You are not the first to mention something similar here. True, if God's hand is not in what you do, it would definitely be difficult to be successful.
100%, I also believe that the spiritual controls the physical. Be it hard work or luck, naturally they could elevate one's status but life itself ain't fair. Hence, the need to set things straight from the spiritual realm!
Hmm.. Since life is not fair, that is why we also need an unfair advantage.
Exactly, that is what can help stay afloat above all odds.
A lot of people have missed this point a whole lot and sometimes I just laugh. Separating spirituality from hardwork and luck is the worst thing a person can do to themselves.
Sometimes we just work all out and when success comes we keep telling people of how hard we worked for it expecting them to say well done and if possible sing your praises.
It's good to work hard but then we should be very careful not to think it is hy our power at any point.
Yeah, true. There is always a spiritual aspect to every turn, be it successful or not. So we should not 100% boast about it being all our effort.
Yeah, all we do is work but the increase is from God
Hahaha the spiritual way I see
Its really not just about what we can phisiccaly see but also about the unseen that's why it's called a spiritual battle
That was brilliant sir
hmm. Nice point there. Thank you very much.
Hmm!! This message is for me. Of a truth, hard work and lucks alone are not enough to grant us whatever we pursue. Only a fool will disregard the place of spiritual backings and still expect to be successful in life. We all know these things but alot of us don't take it serious. Every successful man or woman on earth derives what they have from a spirit. The equation would be balanced if a spirit is involved plus our hard work, I think that's even when luck would come in. Because luck is something supernatural
This is so true. There are quite a lot of people on this table. I believe that luck is something spiritual.
That is true sir, thanks for sharing this with us
It is often said that the spiritual controls the physical, and that's true. Nothing is given to anyone if God does not permits it. Many today are weighing success based on their level of strength or ability and this makes them far more limited than others. Every natural phenomenon has spiritual basis, hence the need to approach situations spiritually.
