Overcoming Goliaths

 

    The first step is always hard.  The pain can still be felt in the second step, third step... until you feel numb as if everything is normal.  That is the road to mastery... The road to success.  It is not smooth.  It might be stony and rough... and it is uphill!  The question is do I really want to climb it!  Do I have what it takes to reach my vision?  The message in Rollins Lesson Series "You Can Do Anything," really inspired me.

    I need not doubt myself because God is with me.  Who can be against me, if God is with me?  When I think of this statement, I am strengthened.  I feel that I can do a lot of things.  If I have a righteous vision, I know God will be my companion to achieve all those things.  My business is also my mission.  

    There are so many hardships rooted in poverty.  We have a lot of wonderful people whom we can help endure joyfully and comfortably.  I pray for strength as I stay and pull the harness, that I may also find these people worthy of help to stay and pull the harness with me.  As Elder Holland mentioned in his talk that good things will come but we need to keep on trying.  I need to keep trying for myself, my family, and those who are pleading for mercy from God.  May I be an instrument of God to answer their prayers. And may I also empower them so they can be an answer to someone else's prayer too.

    That is what I have in my heart... I hope God will allow me to be an instrument for blessings to flow from His hands, to my hands, and to others.  

    Action Hero - David Harrington gave some tips on how my vision can happen:

    This is literally true.  I am still adjusting to making quotations for huge orders.  I need to get used to it because not all who receive quotations will lead to sales.  I need to increase my customers to increase purchases so I can increase my average order per month, and per year.  I need to focus on what my brand is so I know my target market.  I still need to learn a lot.  I am glad that God is making resources available for me to learn things I do not know yet.

    I am now looking forward to reading the next book, "The Field Guide to Hero's journey."  I am sure that I will learn a lot that will equip me in being an entrepreneurial hero!
