what pastor shared today just blew my mind, yet again!
the 10,000 hour rule is something that all of us need to learn to apply ourselves to. the potential of what can be done is beyond what we can imagine when all of us diligently apply ourselves. if i would consistently and continually keep working on my passion, in ten years' time, when i turn 30, i know i will achieve much in my life.
the problem that many of us face is the issue of diligence. we always want quick-fix to our needs and problems. the world is moving so fast and advancing at an incredible pace. but yet, we forget that the importance of excellence. even the hours behind the scenes doing the work are not seen, it is necessary if we want to come out tops. aptly put, time is God's way of preventing everything happening all at the same time so that it will not overwhelm us and give us time to grow and develop.
the images that flashed through when pastor laid hands and prayed for us caught me there. and end of the day, most importantly is that i am always leaning upon and following Him, not forgetting to give and sow into the next generation. it is imperative that we give while we live. it is not about getting there, or at the end of the road, then we give. but the question is that are we continually looking out for the interest of others while in the pursuit of our very own? part of the purpose of each of our dreams is to bring to fulfillment of the dreams of others, and from which greater works are to be done.
personally, i want to become more disciplined. how i got to become good is through hard work. but good is not the best for my life. i want to be a healthier me. i want to excel in my craft. i want to revolutionize love in the lives of the people around me. i want to be able to better the lives of others around me while in pursuit of my dreams and goals in life.
and like what God has spoken today with His presence so strong, "Rui, are you willing to let me take your hand and lead you in every step of the way and be so close to Me, trusting in me?" the answer is obvious and i know that my breakthrough is nearing.
looking forward to a week of prayer and fasting...
