You have what it takes
+++++++++++++++++++

You have what it takes to live life at its best. You have what it takes to achieve genuine and lasting excellence.

Your current situation, whatever it may be, is a perfectly workable starting point. You have what it takes to move positively forward in the direction of your own choosing.

Success and fulfillment, excellence and achievement are not mere matters of luck. Rather, they flow directly from your choices.

And you have what it takes to choose the path that will take you to your most treasured dreams. It is a path that is chosen not once, but over and over again in each moment, each thought, each action and each decision.

You have what it takes to be focused, disciplined, purposeful and effective. For you can think and act, learn and adapt, work and build toward any goal you choose to follow.

You have what it takes to do the things that must be done to get you where you most want to go. Choose to make use of your astounding abilities now, and again and again as each day goes by.

Quick Thought:

“In You, O LORD, I put my trust; let me never be ashamed; deliver me in Your righteousness. Bow down Your ear to me, deliver me speedily; be my rock of refuge, a fortress of defense to save me. For You are my rock and my fortress; therefore, for Your name’s sake, lead me and guide me.” Psalm 31:1-3 (NKJ)

Luke 14:15-24

“And when one of those who were reclining at the table with Him (with Jesus) heard this, he said to Him, “Blessed is everyone who shall eat bread in the kingdom of God!”

“But He (Jesus) said to him, “A certain man was giving a big dinner, and he invited many; and at the dinner hour he sent his slave to say to those who had been invited, ‘Come; for everything is ready now.’”

“But they all alike began to make excuses. The first one said to him, ‘I have bought a piece of land and I need to go out and look at it; please consider me excused.’ And another one said, ‘I have bought five yoke of oxen, and I am going to try them out; please consider me excused.’ And another one said, ‘I have married a wife, and for that reason I cannot come.’”

“And the slave came and reported this to his master. Then the head of the household became angry and said to his slave, ‘Go out at once into the streets and lanes of the city and bring in here the poor and crippled and blind and lame.’ And the slave said, ‘Master, what you commanded has been done, and still there is room.’ And the master said to the slave, ‘Go out into the highways and along the hedges, and compel them to come in, that my house may be filled. For I tell you, none of those men who were invited shall taste of my dinner.’” Luke 14:15-24 (NAS)

John 12:27-33

“Now My soul has become troubled; and what shall I say, ‘Father, save Me from this hour’? But for this purpose I came to this hour. Father, glorify Thy name.”

“There came therefore a voice out of heaven: “I have both glorified it, and will glorify it again.” The multitude therefore, who stood by and heard it, were saying that it had thundered; others were saying, “An angel has spoken to Him.”

“Jesus answered and said, “This voice has not come for My sake, but for your sakes. Now judgment is upon this world; now the ruler of this world shall be cast out. And I, if I be lifted up from the earth, will draw all men to Myself.”

“But He was saying this to indicate the kind of death by which He was to die.” John 12:29-33 (NAS)
