MOTIVATE YOURSELF

"I'd rather attempt to do something great and fail than to attempt to do nothing and succeed." - Robert H. Schuller

Pliny the Elder, was a Roman writer who lived - we are told - during the same time period as Jesus. He told a story of the setting of an obelisk, which when erect would stand 99 feet tall. Twenty thousand workers where chosen to pull on the ropes and activate the hoisting apparatus. There was great responsibility and risk in the operation. Just one error could cause the obelisk to fall, ruining years of work. The King demanded one act which insured the complete attention and best direction of the engineer. He ordered the engineer's own son to be strapped to the apex of the obelisk, so that his heart as well as his head would be given to the task.

To achieve any level of success one must of all necessity apply his heart into it. One must, as it were fix his eyes on the goal, with an understanding that something vital is at stake if one fails.
Yes, it is okay to fail but not acceptable to quit. Like the king over your life's visions determine acts upon yourself that would determine your complete attention to succeed.

Motivate yourself today, decide to come out of obscurity, there's an empty spot reserved for you on the platform of great achievers. You have gone unnoticed too long enough, enlarge your tents because something is about to happen to you. You cannot remain the same, with a renewed and heightened level of determination to succeed. Attempt to do, and be something or somebody great in life. You can do it...it's in you.

Let us pray: Father, I receive grace to succeed, in Jesus name.

"I can do all things through Christ..." - KJV
