God has put inside every person the potential to be passionate. One person with passion is greater than the passive force of ninety-nine who only have an interest. Too many people have "only an interest" in their destiny. The book of Ecclesiastes says, "Whatsoever thy hand findeth to do, do it with all thy might" (9:10).

Everyone loves something. We are shaped and motivated by what we love. It is our passion. Ignore what you are passionate about, and you ignore one of the greatest potentials that God has put inside you. Nothing significant was ever achieved without passion. Jesus was a passionate man. He died for us because he loved us so passionately.

Most winners are just ex-losers who got passionate. The worst bankruptcy in the world is the person who has lost his enthusiasm, his passion. When you add passion to a belief, it becomes a conviction. And there is a big difference between a belief and a conviction. Belief agrees with facts. Conviction brings persistent action to your belief.

Driven by passionate conviction, you can do anything you want with your life-except give up on the thing you care about. My friend Mike Murdock said, "What generates passion and zeal in you is a clue to revealing your destiny. What you love is a clue to something you contain."

Fulfilling God's plan for your life is a passion or it is nothing. We are told to, "Serve the Lord thy God with all thy heart and with all thy soul" (Deut. 10:12). Pessimism never won any battles. "There are many things that will catch my eye, but there are only a few that catch my heart...it is those I consider to pursue," said Tim Redmond.

Let the passion that is within you rise to meet your destiny...

- John Mason, from the book, You're Born An Original Don't Die A Copy

Never give up on what you know you really should do. The person with big dreams is more powerful than one with all the facts. Remember overnight success takes about ten years. The "man of the hour" spent many days and nights getting there. Consider the man who said, "My overnight success was the longest night of my life." Winners simply do what losers don't want to do.

In the confrontation between the stream and the rock, the stream always wins - not through strength but perseverance. Christopher Morley says, "Big shots are only little shots that keep shooting".

Judas was an example of someone who began the good fight but lacked persistence. Many of the world's great failures did not realize how close they were to success when they gave up. Stopping at third base adds no more score than striking out.

"You have no right to anything you have not pursued. For the proof of desire is in the pursuit", says Mike Murdock.

Enduring is a military term meaning to hold up courageously under fire. When you feel like quitting, bring more of God into that area of your life. Proverbs 16:3 NIV says, "Commit to the Lord whatever you do, and your plans will succeed."

There is no greater wealth than the wealth of commitment. It cannot be robbed from you.

Trying times are no time to quit trying. The secret of success is to start from scratch and keep on scratching.

- John Mason, from the book, You're Born An Original Don't Die A Copy

Get aggressive and go after opportunities. They usually don't find you, you must find them. The reason most people don't go very far in life is because they sidestep opportunity and shake hands with procrastination. Procrastination is the grave in which opportunity is buried. Don't be out in the backyard looking for four-leaf clovers when opportunity knocks at your front door.

For the tenacious there is always time and opportunity. Are you waiting on opportunities, or are opportunities waiting on you? I believe you should take the initiative and live your life on the offensive. William Menninger said, "The amount of satisfaction you get from life depends largely on your own ingenuity, self-sufficiency, and resourcefulness. People who wait around for life to supply their satisfaction usually find boredom instead."

Albert Hubert remarked, "Parties who want milk should not seat themselves on a stool in the middle of the field and hope that the cow will back up to them." The door of opportunity won't open unless you push. It is always a bumpy, uphill road that leads to heights of greatness. Being on the defensive has never produced ultimate victory.

"A wise man will make more opportunities than he finds," said Francis Bacon. It's more valuable to find a situation that redistributes opportunity than one that redistributes money. Have you ever noticed that great people are never lacking for opportunities? When successful people are interviewed, they always mention their big plans for the future. Observing them, most people would think, "If I were in their shoes, I'd kick back and do nothing." Success doesn't diminish their desire for dreaming.

There is far more opportunity than ability. Life is full of golden opportunities. Every person has a lot that they can do. Start with what you can do; don't stop because of what you can't do. Great opportunities will come as you make the most of small ones. Many people seem to think that opportunity means a chance to get money without earning it. The best gifts we get are opportunities, not things. Seize them! - John Mason, from the book, Know Your Limits - Then Ignore Them

Good morning peeps,,.. You can't fulfill your destiny on a theory... it takes WORK. You are made for action. It is much more natural for you to be doing than sitting. Success simply takes good ideas and puts them into action. What the free enterprise system really means is that the more enterprising you are, the more free you are.

The word work is not an obscure Biblical concept; it appears in the Bible over 500 times. Often the simple answer to your prayer is: Go to work.

What you believe doesn't amount to very much unless it causes you to climb out of the grandstand and onto the playing field. You cannot dream yourself into what you could be. The only time a lazy person ever succeeds is when he tries to do nothing. A famous old saying says it best: "Laziness travels so slowly, poverty soon overtakes it.. I SUGGEST YOU CLIMB OUT OF THE GRAND STAND!

3 steps to have a great morning, open your eyes, take a deep breath and go back to sleep. Good Morning :)

TODAY, I WILL....,

* Rise early because no day is long
enough for a day's work.
* Compliment three people.
* Make myself valuable to somebody.
* Not lose an hour in the morning, and
spend all day looking for it.
* Tackle a problem bigger than me.
* Make a small improvement in some
area.

- Thank God It's Today!

me out of my comfort zone.
* Die to myself.
* Give thanks for my daily bread.
* Find something different to do.
* Leave someone a little better than I
found them.

habit.

by the seeds I plant.
Today be a better version of yourself.
Remember to count your blessings at

creates power in your life because it
opens the generators of your heart to
respond gratefully, to receive joyfully,
and to react creatively.
