Word for the day: “Time to get back up again.”
Ecclesiastes 9:11 (NKJV) I returned and saw under the sun that—The race is not to the swift, Nor the battle to the strong, Nor bread to the wise, Nor riches to men of understanding, Nor favor to men of skill; But time and chance happen to them all.
Beloved Leaders,
My mentor and friend recently said, "The probability and the possibility of an event occurring are very different, and yet sometimes the event is destined to occur”. When I think of my leadership journey, I’ve discovered leaders get three things, probably and possibly: Attention, Admiration, and Attacks. Leaders are out in front and will contend and have to confront these three probable and possible facets of their journey.
I know what it's like to doubt yourself after you have gone through a setback, so I can tell you from experience that the key to a successful life is getting back up after you’ve been knocked on the canvas. This is a season of learning how to win, even when you feel like you are losing, which is a challenging reality. I implore all reading my message today who feel like they are losing, to get up off the canvas and get back to the work God has placed in your hands.
There is something that God has put in your spirit, and it needs to come out, and you need to finish. I know you are at the edge, trying to decide if you will try again. Are you going to start or finish what you started?
The answer to the question is between you, God, and those in your close proximity. That business idea that God gave you, will you pursue that new relationship? Are you going to pick up the pieces and try again in your life’s pursuit to make a difference?
Quote: #Muhammad Ali “You don’t lose if you get knocked down; you lose if you stay down”
