Are your goals logical?

If your goals are logical, don’t expect luck or the like. Why? Luck doesn’t exist!


“You need to aim beyond what you are capable of. You need to develop a complete disregard for where your abilities end. If you think you’re unable to work for the best company in its sphere, make that your aim. If you think you’re unable to be on the cover of TIME magazine, make it your business to be there. Make your vision of where you want to be a reality. Nothing is impossible.”  —Paul Arden


Paul Arden made an incredible statement above. Many will possibly read it and think that is a good statement and go on to something else and not think anything more about it.


Let’s break it down and see what we can glean from it. It is something that will not only cause you to have a positive thought, but, encourage you to make a move in a positive direction.

Now let’s begin the breakdown in the statement:


1. You need to aim beyond what you are capable of.
As you know, so many of us aim far below what we are capable of. We take the easy way out. I want you to consider aiming higher than you have ever considered before. We have dreams we wish to fulfill, but are tempted to lay them aside when the work that is required seems a little more difficult and involved than we want to put into it. As a result, we quit and decide it isn’t worth it. Aim beyond what you are capable of. You will surprise yourself!



2. You need to develop a complete disregard for where your abilities end.
Why not consider jumping headlong into something that has been on your mind to accomplish, even though you don’t know what the end result will be. Don’t worry if it will not end the way you hope. Give it a try, if it doesn’t work the way you had hoped, examine what didn’t go exactly right, make necessary adjustments and try it again. You will discover the more you try, you will progress further and further to actually reaching the desired end.


3. If you think you’re unable to work for the best company in its sphere, make that your aim.
Simply do whatever it takes to work with that company, organization, church or ministry, whoever it is that you are considering. Learn all of the aspects of what the company is looking for. Take a course, study the aspects of the job that you are desiring to attain. Learn the steps required and start putting them into practice. When the door opens for that job, you will be ready to jump right in.


4. If you think you’re unable to be on the cover of TIME magazine, make it your business to be there.
Maybe your desire isn’t to be on the cover of a magazine. Possibly you want to accomplish something great in another area, but you don’t have the connections to get there. The desire is there and will not leave you. Find a way to meet with someone who is already successful in the area you wish to get into and learn from them. Consider buying their lunch and have a pad and pen at the ready to take notes. Ask questions when you don’t understand a particular point. When you arrive to the place you desire to reach, be sure to give credit to the person who helped you get there. Simply put, it was their wisdom and guidance that helped you get there.


5. Make your vision of where you want to be a reality. Nothing is impossible.” 
The ONLY way is to first, make your vision plain. That sounds familiar doesn’t it? You must be definite with where you desire to go first. You must do the necessary work to get there. The key word is WORK! Keep the vision of where you want to be in front of you and work on it! If God put the desire in you to be there, wherever “there” is, you will arrive there. Don’t forget that you must do your part.


Now, most people’s goals are completely logical. They don’t require much imagination. Don’t let that be you! They certainly don’t require faith or miracles. You, yes YOU, be the one who doesn’t have logical goals. Think and then act on the big goals. Go above what you think is possible. You can do it!

Your Thought Life

It is interesting to me, how we don’t realize that how we think, affects our lives. We make most of our decisions based on what we ponder. Consider how much you dwell on a particular thought and at some point you make plans on how you will make it happen.  You possibly have thought on a matter so intently, that you start making hand motions or your foot moves as if you are actually doing what you are only thinking about. Your thoughts are actually very powerful. It is the genesis of any action you take. Books have been written on what effects our thinking can accomplish. Possibly one of the better known books on the subject is “Think And Grow Rich” written by Napoleon Hill. The book was first released in the 1930’s and changed the trajectory of many lives. Many of the concepts are found in the Word of God, the writer only acknowledges the fact in rare mentions. Another source that is out there is the Master Key System. It follows the same concept as the book “Think And Gro

Purpose

You may not realize it, but our purpose can be found in our gifting. God put inside each of us skills and the desire to fulfill it.  When I was around 5 years of age I discovered how radio worked. At that time I was bitten by the radio bug. I discovered my purpose! When I arrived home that same day, I pulled out the record player, the 8 track tape player (yes, I’m that old) and a screw driver for a microphone. I was determined to have my own radio station (as a 5 year old). That day WNTC was born. A station that could only be heard in my bedroom, but that didn’t matter to me.  I had no idea that it would create a life long obsession! I was privileged to work for 30 years in the radio business. I was later put out to pasture permanently, or so I thought in December 2008. Then in early 2017, I had the privilege to start producing programs at WGTK and later was asked to report news. This came about after sitting in with Joey Hudson during his program “Upstate Live”, I was invited
