Seeing the Big Picture

Much of what we achieve or fail to achieve in life comes from within us. The way we see our situation controls our actions and our actions define us. This failure to see past stumbling blocks keeps us in a stunted world view. Living with low expectations and preconceived ideas of failure is like living with an enemy that you cannot get your hands on. We face enough headwinds from external forces we do not need to start with internal ones.    

“Whether you think you can, or you think you can't--you're right.”

Innovation is not hard!

Innovation is the doorway to success.  Are we searching for unlocked and unknown doors or are we happy with the ones others have found?  Willingness to except the present and known ways doing business as the best or only ways leads us to the dead end of complacency.  Far too often we hear things such as “that is all we can do” or “this is the way we have done it in the past”.  If we open our eyes, ears and MINDS we may just find a doorway that leads to success.       



Something for us all to think about!

I am a huge fan of innovation and seek out sources of innovation in my work as a college professor. Many times I have used Steve Jobs as the example of innovation in 21st century. To say the least I am a fan of his work.
Now let us address this question of eternity. No one but God and Steve Jobs knows what he held in his heart as he passed from this world to the next. From what I have read about Steve Jobs, he looked at all possible options and committed to nothing until he saw how it was the best option.
The Lord of the harvest seeks out those who will come to His field in the morning, noon, and night. No matter the time of the request the reward is the same. It is His to give. Jesus said if we believe in our heart and confess with our mouth He will save us from our sins and restore our fellowship with the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. This can be done at any time and in any place by anyone. Blessed be the name of the Lord!
