Why do we buy the latest greatest programs that promise us the moon? Why do we continue to sell ourselves short on what we already know? When will we start believing in ourselves enough to make it and make it big?
I asked the previous questions just to get your juices flowing. Most people in business for themselves have a degree of faith to achieve the impossible. Most people started their venture with the intention of succeeding beyond their wildest dreams. When the rubber meets the road winners make things happen no matter what. Winners are in it to win it. Winners are in business for the long haul.
Everything you need is already in you. Just once in awhile we forget who we are and how powerful we are. We have to remind ourselves we have been made in the image of God, after His likeness. It is not by accident that you happen to be in the profession you are in. God allowed you to be where you are so you can make a difference.
So the question is, what will you do with what you know? Isn't it time to stand up and be counted? Isn't it time to make a mark that will not be erased? Isn't it time to start turning your dreams into reality?
I thank God that He has blessed me to see many of my dreams come true. Publishing a magazine was a dream, but it became reality. Being a pastor was a dream but it became a reality. Overseeing a multitude of leaders was a dream but it became a reality. Driving a Mercedes Benz was a dream but it became a reality. Founding a network for business owners was a dream but it became a reality. Motivating thousands of people was a dream but it became a reality. Serving with internationally renound leaders was a dream but it became a reality. Marrying the wife of my youth was a dream but it became a reality. Raising a God fearing son was a dream but it became a reality.
One of the big dreams in my life was to give away millions of dollars. Today I serve as a corporate officer on the Board of Directors for the Foursquare Foundation where we give away millions of dollars every year.
In closing, I want to say it again. You already have everything you need to succeed. If you still sense like you are still lacking something, I think I might have an idea what it is. We're not meant to toil and sweat to earn a living. We're meant to "see it before we say it and say it and watch it manifest."
Stay blessed,
Ced
