If you fear taking risks, you will take no steps People do not want to lose what they have at the expense of what they want. In life, you must be ready to lose to gain
It is better to die making an effort than to be alive and seated as a failure. Rather than considering what you might lose for taking a step forward, consider what you stand to gain Remember that where you are today is what you would have lost if you didn’t take a step yesterday. Do not let the fear of losses rob you of the potential of tomorrow
Fear Of Being Different
Until you stand out of the crowd you do not become outstanding. Stop accepting the status quo. God created you as a unique being for you to make a difference
on the earth.
Everyone who seeks to go along with others because he wants to please them never matters. You must be ready to be different if you want to make a difference. Have you seen any plane landing in the direction of the wind? They are always moving against the wind. When you try to stand out, you may find yourself standing all e at first, but when you begin to have an effect, even your mockers will seek to join you.
Concern for public opinion has been the bane of many people. “What will they say if I try doing something else?” If you fear criticism you will never do anything. When Kenneth Hagin began to preach faith, people were spitting in his face, but see what effect the faith message has had all over the world today. It is normal for the public to criticize someone who wants to make a difference in his society, but remember that often, criticism is equal to publicity. Drop your fears, embrace changes, and move forward!
The Mystery Of Small Beginning
Great things often start small. It does not take a long time for a change to occur, it only takes understanding the strategies and working on them. The world is full of examples of the principle of small beginnings and as a matter of fact, we should believe in people who humble themselves to start small.
In the bid to make progress in life, many people are deceived into thinking that they must start big to make it big So many have stagnated their destinies through this idea, refusing to take a step, because they consider what they have, where they are or what they are as too Small to achieve what they want.
What is Small
Small is a relative term. It doesn’t represent any number or size in particular. For one person it could be two, for another it could be one hundred, or even ten thousand, “small” simply means starting from where you are or will what you have. There are some individuals, for whom nothing is ever enough. Even if you give them a million, it will not be enough because to them it is small.
Progress begins with bold steps and wherever you start from in your small beginning. As you continue adding to the small you have, taking one step after the other you will soon become great.
Somebody started with five, another person started with two but the person with one refused to start he despised it, he felt it was too small, so he buried it.
Believe me or not small things are often despised, but remember you need to start before you can become a star, if you don’t start something you can never be a star and only a star can be celebrated
Your Blessing may be tied to something insignificant that you may even want to throw away. Most great business people today, started with very little capital, but one door opened into another, and soon they found themselves on top.
My definition of the word “big” is “small” plus “small” plus another “small to infinity. Whether it is one thousand or one million you are looking for, it will start with one plus one, plus one, till it is completed, Addition is what leads to completion. Nothing completes itself without being added to it. If you despise one you will never see two
Growth is a Process not an Accidental occurrence.
Those who want to escape the process of growth remain as dwarfs. You can’t do without exercise if excellence is your goal. I think you should look forward to big things. But I want you to understand that while you are waiting for the fulfillment of the big things, you must exercise yourself in small things.
Have a Clear Vision
but while you are waiting for the appointed time of that vision, kindly engage yourself with the little you have. Starting small does not disprove your vision for greatness; neither does it mean that you are show or indolent. Every vision is great but the route to its achievement must begin from somewhere
Remember the stories behind Jesus and God’s plan for him, he had to start as a baby in a manger. He came to deliver the whole world, but he began as a tiny baby. Your small beginning doesn’t mean that you doubt your greatness; it only means that you are exercising yourself toward it.
Any vision that is not started becomes abandoned and when the vision is not realized, it leads to frustration. To begin small and be able to continue to the end is the mark of progress. Those who don’t want to begin will not have an ending.
