Begin Where You Are To Reach Where God Has You To Be.

"Don't let life discourage you; everyone who got where he is had to begin where he was."
Richard L. Evans

 Today, in your life, maybe you are looking around you, seeing all of the potential being fulfilled in others. You are looking at where it is that they are in their life and comparing it to yours, thinking about how you are so much further behind than them. But let me tell you something today; let me tell you that those people, everyone single one of them, started out just like you.
 Now, whoever it may be that you are looking up to today, a movie star, a celebrity, a leader, a writer, a speaker; know this, that they didn't just end up where they are. They weren't just working towards their dream and their future goal one day and then ended up fulfilling their God-given potential the next! No! But it took work. It took effort and endurance. They started out just like you. They were looking up to others, wanting to be fulfilling their potential, wanting to be where those people were in life that seemed so much closer to God's dream, plan, and purpose for them. They were just like you. But guess what they did to get to that point that we are looking up to today? They worked for it, and walked the path that God had for them, no matter how difficult.
 You see, these people had to begin right where they were to reach the point that we admire today, and that is exactly what it is that we need to do today. We need to begin where we are. We need to do the work that God is calling us to do! We need to take the steps He is calling us to take! See, no matter what it is that your passion may be, no matter what it is that God is calling you to do, you have to listen to where it is that He is telling you to go and complete the tasks that He puts in front of you, no matter how difficult or impossible you may seem. You, my friend, just need to keep climbing your mountain, and don't give up. Don't get discouraged because, if you keep working and keep following this path, then you are going to reach that potential that God has waiting for you, and it is going to be even more amazing than you ever could have imagined.
