Step Out of the Boat If You Want to Walk on Water

1. Unbury those dreams. Every great achievement started with a dream, and there is one lurking deep down in your heart right now. This dream will give you a long term vision to aim for. This is what will keep you on track when the going gets tough.

2. This vision is your goal. Someone once said, “A goal is a dream with a deadline.” If we do not establish a goal, the probability of accomplishing anything diminishes greatly. It is time to make a plan. A goal is a planned for event, and planning is predetermining a course of events. (more…)

The main obstacle most people encounter when they endeavor to start on a new promising project is that they focus too much on external circumstances to accomplish it.

“Where am I going to learn how to do this? How am I going to pay for it? When can I possibly have enough time to invest in this?”

True, these questions are all essential when planning the project, but by focusing on them we often forget something far more important: our attitude. Attitude is everything. If you are not fiercely determined to make it happen, you’ll probably soon be waving goodbye to your once so promising project.

That is why it is so important to (more…)

Bored and unfulfilled? Is your life shaded in gray with too little splashes of color in between? Here is a fast and easy way to get a kaleidoscope of colors back into your lackluster daily routine:

No, it’s not a cruise to Cancún, or winning the lottery. It’s right there, 18 inches from your brain, deep down in your heart.

That is where your dreams are lurking, waiting to be aroused and revived again!

How? This is the best part: by simply (more…)

“Only as high as I reach can I grow, only as far as I seek can I go, only as deep as I look can I see, only as much as I dream I can be.” (Karen Ravn)

Development comes by exercising every day continually, day in day out. Most of us have no trouble running the first 100m of our race. But when the going gets tough, and things don’t turn out the way we expected, we either slow down or give up altogether.

Just like your physical body through exercise, training and effort can come to the place where it is at maximum performance, your mind and your spirit can also reach their full potential with proper training.

You don’t just (more…)

True education has only achieved its goal when it has taught a student how to draw out the genius from within. All of us possess an incredible learning potential that enables us to successfully exploit the unique individual blend of gifts and talents we were created with.

Each one of us was created to passionately pursue our purpose of being here on planet Earth, to lead a fulfilled and abundantly blessed life, and to leave a legacy for the next generations!

That is why every human being is extremely creative. And contrary to common belief, geniality is not reserved for some lucky few. It is the reason why we are born. Every human being you have ever met is a genius. It is part of our human essence.

Nevertheless, some of us have, consciously or unconsciously, chosen not to develop it. In most cases it is because we have been taught to rely on external circumstances to obtain it, instead of realizing that the ability to learn anything we set our minds on is already within us.

Any person who determines to pay the price, is not only able to, but should by all means educate themselves. It is the most powerful way of acquiring a solid education that will successfully birth our God-given gifts and talents to their full potential.

Any other option will produce a second grade, counterfeit education that will kill our uniqueness and inevitably lead us to a passive lifestyle of going with the crowd.

“You cannot teach a person anything, you can only help him find it within himself” (Galileo)

Success is discovering what God put you here on earth for… and doing it. Everybody everywhere wants to succeed, but not everybody has the determination to follow through with their pursuit for a happy and fulfilled life.

Although anybody can determine to develop their God-given talents by unleashing the power of self-directed learning in their life, not everybody is willing to pay the price. But God is no respecter of persons, and He certainly doesn’t create failures! An abundantly blessed life is available for everybody.

Then why do so many people choose to just go with the flow, doing the same things the crowd does, - frustrated and living from weekend to weekend?

It’s because of two things: (more…)

“For we are God’s own handiwork (His workmanship), recreated in Christ Jesus, (born anew) that we may do those good works which God predestined (planned beforehand) for us (taking paths which He prepared ahead of time), that we should walk in them (living the good life which He prearranged and made ready for us to live).” (Ephesians 2:10, The Amplified Bible)

Whether you’re flipping hamburgers in the middle of nowhere or just about to receive a highly acclaimed college degree, be assured that God has a perfect, blessed and exciting plan for you.

And once a person understands that they are not placed furtively on this earth, but that they are predestined to walk out a perfect plan for their life, designed by God Himself, the quest for their destiny begins. But how do you start?

Following are seven steps you can take to find God’s will for your life: (more…)

Human apathy is one of the worst attitudes towards life there is. It leads us to a spiritless state of mind that just languidly accepts living day in and day out without ever expecting anything to change for the better.

When we come to this point we accept life as a lackluster sequence of unattractive, but necessary events, with hopefully a few gratifying moments in between. Worries, problems, and disillusions take their toll on our daily walk and nudge us, in a very subtle way, towards a stagnant existence of listless detachment.

The problem is that (more…)

“Be still and know that I am God” (Psalms 46:10)

One of the hardest things to accomplish for modern day man is to slow down. We are so immersed in our hurry-hurry world, with our agendas jam packed with activities, that it wouldn’t cross our minds to decrease the pace of our life.

Overworked, stressed out, and unfulfilled lives are the inevitable results of this lifestyle. In our pursuit of accomplishment we settle for exerting all our strength in whatever the circumstances around us demand, instead of (more…)
