Vision, yet again...

Acts 26:19 - "I was not disobedient unto the heavenly vision."  The only way to be obedient to the heavenly vision is to give our utmost for God's highest, and this can only be done by continually and resolutely recalling the vision.  "Though it tarry, wait for it."  We cannot attain to a vision, we must live in the inspiration of it until it accomplishes itself.  I never want to get to the point of getting so practical that I forget the vision and become so distant from the taste of it from the very beginning of when it was born.  Missing the fulfillment of my vision is a disloyalty to God.  So, it is essential to practice the walk of the feet in the light of the vision.  Every footstep.  Every sixty minutes in each hour.  Every sixty seconds in each minute.

Will you choose to be GREAT?

‎"Leaving a great legacy is not a skill-set, it is a mindset. The mindset of CHOOSING TO BE GREAT!  When you choose to be GREAT you think less about the reason why not and and you think more about the plan for HOW.  When you truly believe that you'll be GREAT you'll think less about what you don't have and you'll think more about what you must create.  When you truly believe that you will NOT FAIL then you think less about your weaknesses and you think more about what skills you need to learn and develop. When you choose to be GREAT you concern yourself less with your successes and you think more about what you can do to help others succeed."
