It only takes three simple things to become a smashing success.  They are…

1. Be phenomenally talented.
2. Be incredibly lucky.
3. Be extremely good looking.

Now, it’s critically important to remember that you must be all three of these things at the same time for it to really work.  One of these items alone simply won’t cut it.

There you go.  Three easy steps to being a smashing success.

Wait.  What?  You don’t know if you’re going to be able to pull all three of these together any time soon?  Well then, you might want to consider the other way to do it.  It involves two and a half steps.  It’s not as easy or as glamorous as the above method but it does work.

1.  Trust the Lord with everything that’s in you.

2.  Work as hard as you can with everything you’ve got.

2.5.  (Remember to take breaks and rest because you’re trusting the Lord and not your own abilities.)
