Embrace Hard Work

When it comes to success, many people want to BE where few people are willing to GO. Vision, focus, hard work, sacrifice and endurance are all essential ingredients. Some have learned the satisfaction of pouring years into a difficult project and reaping the rewards. Others tend to quit when things get hard. To always choose the path of least resistance is a recipe for disappointment. 

Many battles are uphill all the way to the finish line. It's like climbing a mountain. There are thousands of hard steps before the ultimate payoff. Don't misunderstand- the view along the way is often spectacular. The experience of climbing is often exhilarating. But the grind, the hard work, must be embraced, not avoided. 

What have you always dreamt of doing? If you do it for God's glory, if it's an honorable undertaking- whether getting a degree, building a house or going on an adventure- he will help you. So choose a mountain and climb, and you will be blessed! -Pastor Brad
