(so, either wake up with only sighs or wake up to the prize)
Being a success, whether in spiritual or natural pursuits takes vision, focus, commitment, determination, sacrifice. While some people seem to have life handed to them on a silver plate, it is not like that for everyone. We can either wish our lives away or jump into the fray. We must set goals (within God's will) and then pay the price to reach them. Remember, we are not living for ourselves, but for the glory of God and for the good of other people. LOSER MENTALITY IS UNACCEPTABLE.
Therefore, bring every purpose under Christ's lordship.
Colossians 3:17
(17) And whatsoever ye do in word or deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God and the Father by him.
James 4:13-15
(13) Go to now, ye that say, To day or to morrow we will go into such a city, and continue there a year, and buy and sell, and get gain:
(14) Whereas ye know not what shall be on the morrow. For what is your life? It is even a vapour, that appeareth for a little time, and then vanisheth away.
(15) For that ye ought to say, If the Lord will, we shall live, and do this, or that.
WORDS TO LIVE BY, FOR NOW AND FOR LATER
Paul gave us a principle that is spiritual, but is applicable to success in the natural realm as well.
Philippians 3:13-14
(13) Brethren, I count not myself to have apprehended: but this one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind, and reaching forth unto those things which are before,
(14) I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus.
