When you crawl out from underneath the covers every morning and you sit on the edge of the bed
You have a choice before you
Don't sit there
with your head and your shoulders
slumped over and your chest caved in
Stick your chest and your chin straight out
And if you can't summons up the energy the excitement the enthusiasm for something
then you're just
your life
Every day is going to be a drag to wake up to
Every morning you wake up there are two doors
And there are thundering knocks at each one of them
Behind one lies your destiny and living
Behind the other lies death
That if you don't engage intensity or passion in your life
Then you aren't living your life to its fullest
God says if you'll plant the seed I'll make the tree
You can't have a better arrangement than that. Number one give God the tough end of the deal
What if you had to make the tree that keep you up late at night trying to figure out how do you make a tree?
God says no leave the miracle part to me
I got the seed the soil the sunshine and the rain and the miracle of the seasons and I'm God and I can do all
this miraculous stuff. I just have reserved something very special for you. And that's what
Plant that's it. But if you want a miracle you've got to do whatever you can do and if that's plant it's plant
If it's read, it's read if it change it's change if it's study it's study if it's work
it's work labor or whatever you got to do. So that's number one
Labor that works miracles number one do what you can
When a seed is planted in the ground, you cannot control the sunshine
you cannot control the weather and you cannot control what the locusts will come and try and destroy. All you can do is plant your
seed in the ground and believe
God himself has to give the increase only God can make the sun shine. Only God can bring the rain
But if you planted the seed than you've done your part
I do not believe
That any of us have dreams
That were not given to us
For the purpose of accomplishing those particular dreams
I don't know what that dream is that you have. I don't care how far-fetched it might appear to be
I don't care how disappointing it might have been as you've been working toward that dream
But here's what I know
That dream that you're holding in your mind
That it's possible
See, sometimes we can't say I can do that
But what we can say that it's possible that I can have my dream
As we run toward it as we work on it day in and day out
Most people don't work on their dreams. Why?
For many years I did't one is because of fear the fear of failure
What if things don't work out and the fear of success what if they do and I can't handle it
The other thing is that most people ladies and gentlemen, they get comfortable. They stop growing. They stop working on themselves. They stop stretching
They stop pushing themselves
And they end up becoming very cynical about life and they throw in the towel on themselves and on there families and on their dreams
And the other thing is that most people don't feel worthy
What I'm doing now, I could have been doing years ago
But because I did not have a college education
Because I didn't believe in myself
Because I allowed other people's opinion of me to control my destiny. I didn't act on my ideas
Passion for something
will
out do
Will win out over
knowledge, skills
talent, natural talent, natural gifts every single time
The people that succeed
Don't always have the most education the most talent the most opportunity many times
They simply want it more than others. You have to pursue what God put in you
being complacent
Passive will keep you from your destiny. There should be something you believing for that you are relentless
When you make up your mind to do something God will breathe on your efforts and give you strength
That goes beyond your natural ability
It's not just willpower. It's the blessing of God helping you
But it kicks in when God sees you doing everything you can
Taking steps to come up higher
Forgiving the person that did you wrong. Trying again after a disappointment standing strong when things aren't going your way
That's when you'll see God do things that you couldn't make happen
Yes, it takes discipline. But the pain of discipline is less than the pain of regret
One of the saddest things is to come to the end of life and wonder what we could have become
What if I wouldn't have let those people talk me out of my miracle
Where would I be. What if I would have distanced myself from those friends causing me to compromise
What if I would have treated my spouse with respect
What if I had taken that step of faith in my career and not played it safe all the time
You don't have to wonder you can start right now. It is not too late to become all God's created you to be
The question is
How bad do you want it?
