I am persuaded that God has placed within us all, potential to do great things in this life. Every child that is born I believe has placed within their DNA certain God-given gifts, talents and abilities. I also believe it is in our Creators heart that we should use them for the betterment of mankind and not simply use them for base- gain!
This life can be tough and even brutal as we grow up. Through our life we all have experienced negative people who have discouraged us in words or in their actions. We all must be very careful how we react when people tell us what they would like to accomplish and the goals they are setting in life. Sometimes it only takes a simple lifting of the eye-brow in a disbelieving way to curtail someones dream.
On the other side of that coin it is just as powerful to give a simple word of encouragement and see how that seed grows into a might tree of an idea that could potentially change our World!
We have within us words that can create life or death with those that we have a measure of influence with so we must be extremely careful.
Finally, if someone has spoken a negative word into your life that has caused you to store your dreams, goals and aspirations in the closet and you are sitting on the couch of contentment you must realize that the only person that can keep you from attaining your goals is the person you stare at every morning you look into that mirror.
Begin to shout at him/her to get off of the sidelines of life and get back into the game and go for IT!
