William James, a distinguished Harvard professor of psychology once said,
In almost any subject, your passion for the subject will save you. If you care enough for a result, you will most certainly attain it. If you wish to be good, you will be good. If you wish to be rich, you will be rich. If you wish to be learned, you will be learned. Only then you must really wish these things and wish them with exclusiveness and not with one hundred other incompatible things just as strongly.
I love being reminded that God has a "big idea" for our lives. An ordained purpose and plan requiring all of our life's focus, energy and passion if it's to be realized. With out a doubt, one of the secrets to success and accomplishment in life is the ability to say no to the "good" and yes to the great". To whole-heartedly focus on and master what we're created and gifted to do.
It's living with that modus operandi day in and day out together with the passage of time you become remarkable at what you do. Exceptional In ways that unlock doors of opportunity, attract resources, draw others to your vision and unleash heaven's blessing to make your dream (God's dream) a reality!
Just my thought for today - God bless.
