Action Steps to Fulfilling Vision

You are the sum total of the choices and decisions you make every day. You can choose to stay where you are right now, or you can choose to move forward in life by pursuing your dream. I want to challenge you to stop making excuses for why you can’t accomplish what you were born to do. Take your life out of neutral. God has given you the power and the responsibility to achieve your life’s vision. Ask yourself some serious questions as you ponder your purpose. What is your dream? Have you truly discovered your purpose and vision yet? Do you know what you want to accomplish in this life? Are you doing what you believe you were born to do? Most people do things because they have to. Wouldn’t you like to do things because you have decided to, based on your purpose? You must choose to be on the offensive rather than the defensive. I hope you will decide you have had enough of being “normal” and that you will declare your distinction. Remember, you were created to stand out, not to blend in. You were created to accomplish something that no one else can accomplish because God gave the assignment to you. Now, let’s pray together:

Prayer: Heavenly Father, Your Word says that you have a plan for each of our lives. You have given us a purpose to fulfill in this world, and You have redeemed us because of Your love. I ask You to open our spiritual eyes so that we can clearly see the specific purposes You have for us. We want to complete those purposes with joy and with the knowledge that we have accomplished Your will for our lives. In Jesus’ name, amen.

Thought: You are the sum total of the choices and decisions you make every day.
