Do you want to know the ONLY sure method of success, guaranteed? Yes Guaranteed!!!!
Not because I said, but because I know it.
“This Book of the Law
Joshua 1:8 ESV
shall not depart from your mouth,
but you shall meditate on it day and night,
so that you may be careful to do according to all
that is written in it.
For then you will make your way prosperous,
and then you will have good success.”
My Pondering
In the above passage we can glean that God’s word, both the written and direct, is essential to our holistic success. To know it is important but not enough as we need to believe it, to fully trust and have confidence in it. We are encouraged to ‘meditate‘ upon the word day and night; to ponder it deeply and consistently.
As important as that also is, we must engage with it in the world, in our lives, in our step by step walk with the Spirit. We must execute and DO IT!
By getting in sync and employing God’s word, we are empowered make our way prosperous. Did you notice it says, “…you will make your way prosperous,”? I can’t but help realize our personal accountability in cooperating with God for our mutual ambition which is transform into Christ’s likeness. Which one one hand seems and is impossible for He is God and we are not. However, as God is for us, in us, and with us then nothing good is impossible for Him.
Furthermore, let’s not miss the BIG promise, a conditional one, which states, “then YOU will have good success.” That’s God’s promise.
So please, no constant woe is me, all doom and gloom believers.
So what is good success from God’s point of view? How about to you?
For me it is Full-Circle Succes. Excelling still more around the Wheel of Life

Full-circle Success is living in sync, abiding in the flow-zone, by by love, power and self-control.

Full-Circle Success Diagram – Detailed Explanation
To achieve and sustain this FCS (Full-Circle Success) we need to start and end with God’s word and God’s will. We must have a correct and principled worldview.
Z-F (Center)
Z-F is short for Zone-Flow. This is the center of the make. The epitome of being in God’s will. It’s the sense of a high-challenge and high-skill and high-blessing. Time seems to be irrelevant. Concentration and focus are keen. Things run smooth. We operate efficiently and effectively with Unconscious Competence. We sense God’s pleasure and blessing. It’s the synchronicity of our Head, Heart and Hands.
The HHH inner trinitarian circle
HEAD (Blue inner circle)
To maintain FCS we need to use our Heads to think properly and accurately regarding reality and truth. This is one reason we need scripture; to keep us grounded and in touch with our Creator. We need to understand reality. It what we know, or think we know.
HEART (Red inner circle)
Our heart, our emotions and attitude should empower us. They are great gifts when channeled properly. They connect us to God and others. Our souls reside here. It is some science nor AI will ever be able to clone nor understand because it’s from another realm. Our motivation, passions and exuberance come from this place. It is how we feel.
HANDS (Green inner circle)
Hands represent action and engagement. It’s sometimes getting your nails dirty, sweat flowing and our back into a task (literally and/or figuratively). It is execution. No execution. It is what we DO.
CLOSE (but missing Z-Fj
When we fully engage all three toward a legitimate cause, this is when are likely in a Zone-Flow state. When one of the three elements are missing, we are either working in potential just knowing without application, in ritual, auto-pilot habit or from uncontrollable danger wildness.
The PPP Triangle
PURPOSE
Striving to something greater than ourselves is what purpose is about. It is doing what God created and called us for. It’s can be something general in nature or extremely finite. The greater the purpose, the greater our fulfillment and reward.
POWER
Power is the ability to execute and accomplish tasks. Power, like most everything, can be used for good or bad. Without any power, we can’t do anything significant. Power is the drive, ambition, & charge. It the energy between positive / negative, the proton / neutron, and combustion from an engine.
PEACE
Peace is rest, quiet confidence, humility and trust. It’s the calm and neutrality that we all need to recharge and reset,.
The TTT Triangle
TALENT
Talent includes the natural gifts from God. It includes all of our abilities and how have honed those into skills.
TIME
We each have the exact same amount of it every day. The key is how we utilize it. We certainly have influence over our time but it’s God who chose when we were born and should be the one who chooses when we exit this world.
TREASURE
Treasure represents our resources; chiefly our money. Since everything is actually God, the question is how we shall steward our stuff for God’s glory.
The three trinities listed above sit upon the wheel of life.
