“The difference between success and failure is measured by how many times you can try…ONE MORE TIME.” – Rodger Halston
There are times when our dreams are closer than we think they are. But before we can reach them, we need to take a step and open the door that leads there. Only you can open that door. Only you can decide whether it’s time to claim the dreams you have long forgotten or put aside.
You may have been disappointed many times before. You may have been hurt badly. Other people may have also discouraged you and you still remember the words that put you down.
But if you don’t try, how would you know if you could have achieved your heart’s desires? How would you know if the answer to your prayer has been waiting there all along?
Cast aside your past hurts for a while. Listen not to your fears.
Look instead towards the future and everything else that God has instore for you. Listen to that inner voice you have forgotten for so long.
What you have longed for so much could already be there, waiting for you. But you have to open that door. You have to take that step and TRY.
“Don’t get lost. Give it a try. Go find the place that you’re wishing for.” – Natsuki Takaya
Even the youths faint and get weary,
and the young men utterly fall;
But those who wait for the LORD will renew their strength.
They will mount up with wings like eagles.
They will run, and not be weary.
They will walk, and not faint.
-Isaiah 40:30-31, WEB-BE
