Here lies the reality of fulfillment. There can be no fulfillment where there is no passion. The passion that causes us to achieve has to be strong enough to make us uncomfortable. The discomfort that comes from the desire must be intense enough to keep the obstacles between you and the thing you desire from adorting the intensity of your desire! Simply stated, you must want it bad enough to survive the process required to attain it. It doesn't matter whether it is a good relationship, a ministry, a business, or whatever. There will always be hindrances to overcome. It is the force of your personal passion to achieve that gives you the force to break down the wall between you and the thing you desire.
Jesus, our prime example of success, had a cross between Him and His goal. The cross was not the end; it was the means. He didn't enjoy the means, but He endured it, His passion was for the end. What gave Him the power to endure His means to achieve the end? It was His passion!
The desire that burns and inflames your heart, the desire that is forever in your thoughts, becomes the fuel that enables you to withstand whatever life sends againts you. His suffering was for the sins of this world. It was more than groping in the gross darkness of a feverish death. It was the suffering of the passionate! This is the kind of passion we need.

Dear bro./sis.
I admire you,. I see your strengths and your weaknesses. It doesn't matter which is which, because I admire you for accepting the challenge of life and rising to your feet in the morning light! You heard the blaring of the trumpet and you arose. You kenw the night was over, and sleeping is for those who have nowhere to go.
Wake up singing. Rejoice that you are alive. Before you complain about your environment, listen closely to what you hear as you stand, stretch, nd boldly enter in to the brightness of the day.
You are an ardent lover giving tender care to the broken and fragmented. You touch the heart and caress the soul. Your arms were made to reach around the sorrows and hug the fainting. Like jumper cables hooked to a battery, you give new life and energy to those you touch.
Your a preacher proclaiming a strong work and making mighty statements. Even when your lips are closed, we hear you speak. Your an artist who doesn't need a brush. You have captured great moments without cameras. You are full of fire that can't be extinguished.
Live long my bro, my sis. Grow great! Do all that is in your heart. This your moment! Please don't miss it complaining about problems. Don't be distracted by the trivial pursuits of this world. Notice the beating of your heart and the heaving of your lungs in your chest. When in doubt, check it out: Your alive!
No matter what tried to restrain you and keep you in the grave, death can't hold you back! So say to your soul, "Boast in the Lord!"
Why not be proud to be alive? You could have been died. You could have been a drunk. You could have been weak, but not you. Your too tough for that.
I admire you because when I see you raise your hands in worship, and when I see you smiling through watery eyes, I know... Although I may never know you personally or get to hear your story, I can see it by your praise. I can hear it in your voice. There is no doubt about it: YOU ARE CALLED BY GOD!!!!
You are already in motion. You are already in flight. Straighten your shoulders, hold up your head, and with all your might and all your strength, go for it.
The world is waiting for you. There is someone waiting for you. They won't settle for just anybody, they are waiting for someone who is called by God. The world is waiting for you!!!!!
I believe in you..

Reap the Rewards of a Healthy Self-Confidence

People who do not believe in themselves do not get very far in life, and they seldom enjoy the progress that they do make. A healthy sense of self-confidence can result in opportunities that might pass by a person with low self-esteem, and in accomplishments the timid would not pursue. A confident person will attempt more, achieve more, and celebrate more than a person who is full of self-doubt. Stir up your confidence today--and reap its rewards!
