We Don’t Want It Bad Enough!
When we think of why we are not successful, seldom do we think that it is because we are not focused. Another way to put it is ‘we don’t want it bad enough’. That is the problem with everything we do. If we are not focused, or that we don’t want it bad enough, then everything around us will divide our attention. We are like the ‘surge of the sea driven by the wind and tossed’.
We Need To Be Of One Mind and One Purpose.
To be successful we need to set our eyes on the goal and never look away. We need to say true to our desires and never turn to the left or right. This sounds strict, but when you look at the results you will find that successful people were able to remain focused and on track.
It Starts In The Heart!
Here is an example from my past. I was a two pack a day smoker and I wanted to stop. No matter how hard I tried I could not do it, until I had determined in my heart that I was going to quit. We need to be determined, right down to the bottom of our being that we are going to be successful. Only when we have that in our hearts and it is set firm, will we succeed, but until then we will struggle and fail because we will be going to and fro.
Where To Begin!
The first step is to decide what you want to do, then determine in your heart that you are going to do it. That is the hardest step and we will never reach our goals if we don’t have one! “Where there is no vision, the people perish:” Prov 29:18 (KJV) Find your vision and stick to it until it becomes the driving force behind all that you do. Being successful requires hard work, but hard work in different directions will just wear you out. Learn from those who are successful, determine what you want to do then do it with all your heart.
