Stick To The Plan!

Sometimes when you embark on a project, it feels like you made a mistake and would be better off aborting the whole thing. I spoke recently to a friend who’s been taking on a Masters Program and he said, “It really feels like a mistake because the work required to accomplish is a bit much.” It sure is much, that’s why many people never get there. Another lady who embarked on a construction project said, “I underestimated the work that was required. I’m just pushing forward so that I can complete the project.” Again, anything worth the while will demand a lot from you.

Stay focused on the reason why you started in the first place. Everything worth the while will feel painful and will require some sacrifices, but it is worth it. That is how we get most of the things we cherish.

Education will take studying.

Children will cost come through pregnancies.

Raising them requires your time and effort.

Happy marriages need to be worked at.

Successful businesses take various forms of sacrifices – time, money, emotions.

Ministry comes with back stabbing, misquoting, bad publicity, ridicule, offenses, e.t.c.

Everything worthwhile has a cost attached to it, it hardly ever comes on a silver plater.

Refuse to recoil and abort mission. Press forward. Press on for the prize ahead as the apostle Paul said.

Affirmation: I press on towards my goals and count the pains as evidence of progress.
