Do not loose your vision

”LIKE THE BLIND WE GROPE…FEELING OUR WAY LIKE MEN WITHOUT EYES.’ ISAIAH 59:10

…give yourself permission to go a different way

The Pilgrims landed on the shores of America full of vision. The first year they established a town. The next year they elected a council. In their third year the town council proposed building a road five miles out into the wilderness for westward expansion. But the people criticised it as a waste of public funds. Amazing! Once they had been able to see across oceans to new worlds, now they could not see five miles down the road. What happened? They lost their vision! How can you keep that from happening to you?

1) Refuse to become self-centered! God wants you to enjoy success, but anytime the profit margin becomes more important than the service principle, you will forfeit God’s blessing.

2) Do not get lost in the mundane! One successful leader writes, ‘In preparation for the day, I focus on the main event and ask, ‘In order to make the main event a good event, what must I know? Do? Eliminate?’ Some things will be fun, some will not, but with preparation the most important things will get done well.’

3) Refuse to go with the flow! Most of us are married to the status quo. We want what is, not what can be. We seek safety and simple answers. To keep your vision alive you must give yourself permission to go a different way; to break new ground. The moment your eyes open each morning remind yourself, ‘There is more out there than what I’ve experienced,’ then commit your day to God and get moving!

Unique Gifts/ Precious Memories

In this post Lois इस recognizing and dedicating the above award to all of us. I knew that I had to do the same. Here's what Lois said in part:

One of the most beautiful things God created are snowflakes। What makes each snowflake special is that no two are alike. Each is unique and when banded together with other flakes, it covers the earth with an incredible beauty that is second to none.

Each of us are like those snowflakes. We bring to the blogosphere different gifts, viewpoints, and experiences. Sooo......I'm dedicating this award to YOU, my fellow bloggers. Take this badge and wear it well. All I ask is that you pass it on and refer to this entry as a short award description. When you award this badge to someone, please take a moment to mention what makes him/her unique.

Spread the love...There is no one more precious or unique as you!
