Long Jumps...or Short Steps?


I don't look to jump over 7-foot bars: I look around for 1-foot bars that I can step over. Warren Buffett


33. "But first be concerned about God's kingdom and his righteousness and all of these things will be provided for you as well." 34. "So never worry about tomorrow, because tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own.” - Luke 12:33-34


Do you remember having many dreams concerning your future? Can you remember, as a child, telling all what and who you were becoming and even going as far as telling them a time frame by which this all would be accomplished? Can you also remember the let-downs that sent you spiraling into depression as goals weren't met and trials seemed to stand in the way of your breakthrough? Then you and I might've found ourselves feeling off base or out of order as it pertained to "the bigger scheme" or the ultimate "plan of God". It's amazing how we can easily become victims of expectation while forgetting how much today's actions and thoughts usher in tomorrow's victories. It's also amazing how we allow our future realities to become today's fantasies that can easily have us living in "LaLa Land". Making us forget about what it is that our hands are responsible for activating on THIS day. I challenge you this day....be anxious for nothing. It HAS to happen after all that you've been through...set daily goals and be realistic when setting them. I love walking on the treadmill...it doesn't mean that after 10 months of walking that I am now ready to challenge the likes of Carl Lewis at his prime. In order to reach your "promised land" you must start your 2, 5,10, 20, 30, and, or 40 year plan's steps today. Today write out your plan, keep it before you, always remind yourself of what is to come by posting it around your common areas. Rejoice in the trials...dance in the rains of the storm!!! When the storm passes the freshly soaked soil will yield its harvest...Some of us have been in a financial, spiritual, physical, and emotional drought since as far back as we can remember!!! Why do we cry and scream when the rains come!!!! Rejoice in these moments...you are closer than you were yesterday and alot further from where you were a year ago!


You Can... You Will

Take every moment and work it, live it, be it...to the fullest!!!!
