Daily Success Key #4

Failures focus on their journey while the successful focus on their destination.

Hebrews 12:2

“…who for the joy that was set before Him endured the cross, despising the shame, and has sat down at the right hand of the throne of God.” (NKJV)

Jesus, our greatest example, demonstrates the power of focus. James 1:2 tells us that life is going to bring many storms and tests our way. Only those who focus on the promises of God will survive. When we do not understand our purpose in life, obstacles will appear insurmountable. It is important to ask, “Where am I headed in life? What do I want to accomplish, possess, and become?” Those who have no clear purpose have no strength to press beyond their current circumstances.

We must always remember that our lives move in the direction of our focus. Although what we are going through may seem too difficult to overcome, it is imperative that we focus on the victory that awaits us. Just as an athlete focuses on running the race to win the prize, so we must have a clear, distinct image of our victory. As we focus on what we are going to, Heaven will give us the strength to make it through!
