Preface

Victorious warriors win first and then go to war, while defeated warriors go to war first and then seek to win.—Sun Tzu, The Art of War.

As I observe the world today, I am disheartened to witness how freely humans live outside the will of God. I haven’t always followed God’s will, but I am grateful for the grace of Christ that allowed me to align my life. I believe the truth I am about to share could be a revelation that shows humanity their true worth and value. In today’s world, understanding what value you possess is very important. Discovering your value begins with self-discovery, as understanding your unique strengths, passions, and interests. Once you’ve pinpointed your strengths and what truly matters to you, develop your value, This often involves honing your skills, gaining knowledge, and cultivating a growth mindset. The ultimate goal is not just personal fulfillment but also sharing your value with the world. The next step is to deliver your value to others, whether through your work, contributions, or relationships. The objection here isn’t only to enrich your own life but also make a positive impact on the lives of those around you. In this way, the journey of discovering, developing, and delivering your value becomes a meaningful and fulfilling path to follow.

We have all been called and predestined for a specific purpose. It has been said, We are placed on Earth by our Creator to pursue a life of victory. We seek victory in various aspects of our lives, such as education, business, friendships, relationships, marriage, parenting, health, peace, politics, influence, and the pursuit of happiness. Unfortunately, we are born into a flawed system that teaches us we all start from scratch with the hope of achieving a winning status.

We were not born to become winners; we were born because we are winners. The winning nature already resides within the spirit of mankind. The pursuit of success is evidence that humans have experienced ultimate prosperity by being from God, carrying His image, and sharing His nature. If you desire to tap into the true, God-given greatness within you, then this is the perfect book for you.

I have a unique perspective on the meaning of success in life, and it is this: the pursuit of success without prior experience is like searching all over your house for car keys to a car you’ve never purchased or owned. You cannot crave what you’ve never had, you cannot yearn for what you never experienced, you cannot search for what you’ve never possessed. The search for success is evidence of prior possession, affirming that we are born winners.
