...KEEP AT IT!

DELIVER WORLD CLASS PERFORMANCE; KEEP AT IT!

"There is no such thing as natural touch. Touch is something you create by hitting millions of golf balls." -- Lee Trevino, golfer

Whatever you seek to succeed at or become very good at, you must learn to keep at it. In sports, most athletes spend hours, months and even years training and preparing for a great feat that will last minutes at a great tournament or competition like the Olympics. Every successful boxer spent  time working out, fighting hard and beating himself to the grind so he can deliver world class performance.
Mark Twain, (real name Samuel Langhorne Clemens) an American Author and humorist once noted, that it usually took him more than three weeks  to prepare for a good impromptu speech.That stresses the need in being ever ready.
You will never become a Master of a craft you have not served well enough. Serve your craft, move from average to Genius. You can go from playing small to world-class! It is possible. This is your destiny.
Not many super achievers were born with the natural touch of Genius but rather they worked it out till they attain that level of mastery.
There is an inspiring piece in the biography of Magic Johnson, he usually will wake up early and practice 200 shots every morning before he went to school. Everyday. Johnson recounting this told USA Weekend  "I practiced all day!"
There is a popular law called the 10,000-hour rule, it basically explains that people who achieve world class at their crafts have been known to spend about a total of 10,000 hours or more rehearsing, practising and giving their very best.

There is Greatness inside of you but you need to work at it, dig it up and bring it to the fore until it's unleashed on your world!

Rise to Greatness!

SPIRITUALITY: Don't Think Like the World

Don't Think Like the World
(For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through God to the pulling down of strong holds); Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ.
– 2 Corinthians 10:4-5

If you think like the world thinks, eventually you will act like the world acts. Unrestrained thoughts produce unrestrained actions. So control your thoughts by bringing them into obedience to the Scriptures.
Program your mind with the Word of God. The Word is spirit and it is life. When your mind is totally saturated with the Word of God, your will becomes strong to exercise authority to overcome every ungodly thought and evil habit.
Don't let Satan deceive you into sacrificing the glory of God in your life for a few moments of self-indulgence and sin. Restrain your thought life. Meditate the Word instead of selfish, carnal thoughts. Keep your eyes on Jesus, the author and finisher of your faith.
Kenneth Copeland

ENJOY THE JOURNEY

Our journey to greatness isn't always with a sudden leap. We always have to go through the depths, the curves and the bends. A straight line usually is the shortest distance between two points, yet not many straight lines exist between you and your goals, but the destination predetermined always helps our resolve to forge ahead and to keep moving.
In the same way, you might possibly drive or walk through some sinking sand where all you got to do is to keep moving and never stop forging ahead. If you choose your path carefully; then you should choose to enjoy the journey.
A journey is a continuum in time, we explored some aspects of this in the journey series.
At some points in a journey, you possibly would get into a valley or a storm but be persuaded the valley usually is a transition phase between another level ground or the mountain top. One lesson in the storm is to know that God is always in the storm; He is not the storm nor is He with the storm but He is with you in the Storm.
You can either endure or enjoy a journey, the main tone of my voice today is to just enjoy the journey.

Enjoy the journey!

Your Billion-dollar friend,
