Gotta Start Somewhere!



"A tree trunk the size of a man grows from a blade as thins as a hair. A tower nine stories high is built from a small heap of earth" -Lao Tzu




Ever wonder what happened to the dream you once held dear in hopes that it would one day stare back at you in future's majestic mirror? Have you ever found your faith dwindling slowly as the amazing rush that once was, now resembles the trickling of an aged faucet? Remember the seed that started the entire idea in the first place? Are you currently holding a budding idea that you know, beyond any doubt, might give you access to the building bricks of destiny's multi-generational dwelling? Well, in all things, there is a starting point. Some might prove capable of handling major moves within a month's time code, however, most start as simple seeds just waiting to be crushed under the weight of life's soil, and or "soiled" experiences. Do not despise the simple moments or small start ups as they do not speak for the end or the overall idea. Instead, they add value as they promote growth in the forms of the purest teaching moments that allow true leaders to remain teachable. Today is your moment...this is the crucial building phase that will allow your foundation to stand the testing of future storms. Allowing faith and patience to nurture your seed will also break the outer shell as it extends its roots beyond your very hands, beyond the doubts of men, as roots reach towards divine provision. I challenge you this day...remind yourself of the reasons why. The reasons why you once believed...you know.. the reasons why you started this trek in the first place. If failures along the way are the ONLY or MAIN reasons why you gave up....REMEMBER THIS...The most successful people are those with the most failures...So even that excuse isn't good enough :)
You just might find that your struggling is a direct result of trying your best to avoid the very work that you have been called to complete. Faith's Seed WILL yield the promised harvest! Even the greatest of nations started with one small meeting in one small room...the largest of companies started with a simple burst of inspiration...just as your amazing life's work began with God, you, and your willingness to believe...hold fast to the dream...the idea...and watch it blossom!

You Can and You Will!!!!!Take each moment and work it, live it, be it to the fullest!Izzy-That Motivational Guy
