"If you're going to make every game a matter of life or death, you're going to have a lot of problems. For one thing, you'll be dead a lot."
~ Dean Smith
Passion is a powerful force; if properly channeled, it is unstoppable.
So much that could help you achieve your dreams is never noticed or utilized because you haven't defined (taught your brain what's important!) your goals with clarity.
How we treat others is how we treat Jesus!
“So in everything, do to others what you would have them do to you, for this sums up the Law and the Prophets.” (Matthew 7:12)
There is no honor among men who plot against the innocent. We should never allow blind ambition to dictate our actions.
Ambition is like hunger; it obeys no law but its appetite.
~Josh Billings~
Things don't always go as we would like when we're in service to the Lord. Many times we have to adapt our plan as the Lord makes His will and intention known to us. Other times we have to be patient and wait on the Lord's timing. But there are also times when we, as in the apostles' example -- will suffer a disgrace for the Name -- and we just have to endure. However, if you have the apostle's perspective you will be "rejoicing" that you have been counted worthy and you will continue on -- as the apostles did -- day after day never stopping!
