Dare To Win |
Courtesy of my chiropractor, Dr. Dan Yachter "If
you have faith in me, you will do the same things that I am doing.
You will even do greater things." The only reason a sheep tender named David dared to face Goliath the Philistine was that he trusted God. He knew with God, he could not fail. When the giant laughed at David and told him he would feed his intestines to the birds, David laughed right back because he knew with God, all things are possible to those that are faithful. David even went as far as to take off his armor, throw down his sword, and take on the fiercest of all enemies with a few rocks. Many consider it to be the greatest under-dog victory in history. However, it was not. David had God on his side making him the overwhelming favorite to win. BE DARING: It is easy to sit back and talk about all of the reason you are un-healthy, un-happy, or un-successful. The daring are willing to make whatever moves are necessary to overcome their obstacles. They are willing to make those moves no matter what the risk. BE A DREAMER: Whatever you feel is possible; is. Whatever you think is impossible; is. Never, ever shoot anywhere else but high. No matter what your situation is, someone else has been in exactly the same spot or worse and succeeded...YOU CAN TOO! Someone has been sicker than you and gotten well. Someone has been poorer than you and gotten rich. Someone has been un-happier than you, even to the point of potential suicide, and found peace and joy! BE COURAGEOUS: Success comes with a heavy price tag. It costs time, it costs money, it costs relationships. However, if it serves God and it servers you then it is worth it. Albert Einstein said, "Great spirits have always encountered violent opposition from mediocre minds." Whatever you do it will take courage. Whatever path you take, if it is a winning path, there will always be someone to tell you you're wrong. JUST DO IT ANYWAY! BE DIFFERENT: Always remember, the popular opinion is usually the wrong opinion. When a few million people believe in a bad idea, it's still a bad idea. 3 out of 4 people in America are sick, tired and depressed. Stay on the common path and you will end up exactly where you are going. BE UNREASONABLE: Jesus, Martin Luther King, Abraham Lincoln, Christopher Columbus, Henry Ford, The Wright Brothers, Bill Gates, Michelangelo, Albert Einstein, Linus Pauling and B.J. Palmer were all unreasonable. All progress is based on the UNREASONABLE man or woman. You might get shot or crucified, but you might also get what you want and what God and the world needs. BE A FAILURE: You will get knocked down, but get up again and again and again and again! DARE TO WIN: If you will only dare to win you can become what God has given you the power to become. David said, "You are wonderfully made." It is so much easier to be average. It is so much easier to be sick, take a drug, have the surgery and take the guaranteed salary rather than commission. These are the paths of least resistance. The path of the least resistance makes rivers and people crooked. Dare to be wonderful. IT IS WHAT GOD HAS IN MIND. |
