the principal thing,? (Proverbs 4:7). "Keep
therefore and do them; for this is your wisdom and
your understanding in the sight of the nations,
which shall hear all these statutes, and say, Surely
this great nation is a wise and understanding
people,? (Deuteronomy 4:6).
Who Is Disrespecting Your Dream?
Years ago, I became involved with a great
organization. A young man that I signed up in the
multi-level marketing plan was ecstatic with joy.
He had caught the vision.
He was convinced his efforts would be
profitable. It was a proven company. Thousands
had already done well. He could hardly wait to get
home and tell his family.
A few days later I still had not heard from
him... I called him. "I am anxious to see you at the
meeting tomorrow night,? I said enthusiastically.
"Uh, I do not think I will be able to come.? He
sounded quite discouraged. I responded with, "Of
course, you will!? "No, I talked to my family about
my dreams and goals and they simply laughed.?
What had happened? The young man's family
did not see the picture he was looking at. They did
not have the information he possessed. They were
undecided, unlearned and unfocused.
His very enthusiasm intimidated them.
Millions of people are discontented with life.
Their hearts have never caught fire. Their mind is
like a huge field without any Seed sown into it.
They will not produce greatness, pursue, nor respect
it.
Develop respect for yourself...your Dream.
