Today's Food for Thought (September 28, 2017)

Great changes may not happen right away but with effort and commitment even the difficult may become easy. - Bill Blackman

Obstacle and difficulty help you find your way forward. No matter their size, hold nothing back. Be willing to make an effort to do and commit to carry out whatever it is you are doing, in spite of any and all reasons to not continue to carry on. Much like breathing, quitting is not an option. Learn to take in even the shallowest of breaths to put forth even the smallest of efforts to sustain your dreams. God sees what you are doing and that's all that should matter to you. He claps and cheers for you everytime you push a little harder, dig a little deeper, reach a little farther, and run a little faster. He is a good paymaster – He pays and rewards abundantly.

Life is made of small jumps over great obstacles. It's in the courage of getting through them that makes life challenging and exciting. If you believe in yourself and have dedication and pride---and never quit, you'll be a winner. The price of victory is high so are the rewards. God loves to help him who strives to help himself. Accept the challenges so that you can feel the exhilaration of victory. The will to win, the desire to succeed, the urge to reach your full potential---these are the keys that will unlock the door to potential excellence. Do the difficult things while they are easy and do the great things while they are small. A journey of a thousand miles must begin with a single step.
