No, I have not disappeared from this planet. Yes, one day I WILL fly away
, but not yet.
I am still here. There is still much to be done, and I feel that my “baby boomer life” is just beginning!
At the beginning of this year I created a mosaic photo in Photoshop depicting the highlights of my goals for this year.
This photo shows SOME of the reason for embarking on a business building journey. What are some of these reasons? The financial freedom that my successful business will give me will empower me to serve the churches in Mexico and other parts of Latin America (where my heart is).
This freedom will also enable me to support the churches, train leaders and go on missionary journeys. It will also empower others to be free of financial hindrances as I teach them to follow the path I am presently opening up.
Well these are SOME of the reasons I have taken a little time away from writing. I needed to focus on building foundations in some other areas. Then when the day comes (and its very soon) when it will look like I gained “overnight success” you will know what really happened.
I remember helping my Dad build a shed in the back yard one time.
He needed a place for his tools and a workstation. He loved to work with wood. We built the foundation (I am actually sure that I did more observing than working
, and then the framework for the walls were built on the ground.
When the walls were finished they were pulled upright with some rope to be fixed to the foundation and “PRESTO” there was the shed – “instantly built”.
No – it was not really built instantly any more than anything else in life is really instant. It was just that all of the pieces that were being worked on over a period of a few weeks were put together instantly.
Today’s Challenge for you:
Are you in the middle of a new project? Perhaps the process may be long or hard (or both). But keep going! Never give up – you WILL reach your goals. Keep attending to the details of each day, and your “house” too will one day appear “instantly”.
“Overnight success” can be yours AFTER you have completed the process of training, foundation building and all else that is needed to reach your goal.
Keep going!
