Do you know what this page is noted for? This page is the springboard to your future. You can start here and go anywhere you want to.

God has placed within each of us the potential and opportunity for success. Yet it takes just as much effort to lead a bad life as it does a good life. Still, millions lead aimless lives in prisons of their own making - simply because they haven't decided what to do with their lives. It always costs more not to do God's will than to do it. In fact, "a lot of people confuse bad decision-making with destiny" (Kin Hubbard).

The Bible says, "Where there is no vision the people perish" (Proverbs 29:18). That's not God's plan for you. Dissatisfaction and discouragement is not the absence of things but the absence of vision.

When you are an original and walk in God's plan, you shine like a star in the firmament. Copies are like the darkness in which they float. You can predict a person's bright future by his awareness of his destiny. Life's heaviest burden is to have nothing to carry. The significance of any person is determined by the cause for which he lives and the price he is willing to pay. What you set your heart on will determine how you spend your life. A man without principle never draws much interest.

Do not take lightly the dreams and hopes God has given for your life. Cherish them, for they are like children birthed within you. As long as God's direction is your friend, don't worry about your enemies. It is not the man with a motive but the man with a purpose who prevails.

Launch Out!
