What will you become?

The vision that you glorify in your mind, the ideal that you enthrone in your heart - this you will build your life by, and this you will become.

James Allen.

Many times we read quotes such as this and we think, good quote but it's not for me, other people should get this, it would be good for them.

It amazes me at times, just how low some people shoot. They sometimes appear to be aiming at nothing at all. Sadly that's just what they hit.....nothing.
Expect little, get little.

Last night I attended the Christmas production at Calvary Christian Church here in Townsville and I must say what a great production it was.
The thing is, it was just a bunch of ordinary people who had an extraordinary vision for what they could do.
And do it they did. Exceptional!!

Over time I have met many people who have done extraordinary things in the business world. I'm not talking about corporate high fliers who ride on the success of huge companies, I'm talking about individuals who have achieved great things.
They all have two things in common, firstly they have a vision for great things and secondly, they are very ordinary people.

You see, great things are achieved by great people, though it should be remembered these great people are simply someone's brother, sister, mother or father.

They're just ordinary people who have an extraordinary dream, this ideal that is enthroned in their heart. That which they build their life by.
