SHEPHERDS' LINE


You can make it

Let us settle it at once. You can be an achiever no matter who you are, where you are, your vocation or calling. You may have been told that some fellows are born losers. Nothing can be farther from the truth. The fact is this; everything is learned. You learn to do good and also learn to do evil.
The world is replete with people with no education, special ability or wisdom but has made it to level of prominence. Were they born to b that important? They were born the same way as you.
These men simply followed the path of success. You can decide for that path too. Everyone at birth has a world of his own to imagine.
That unique world is a vacuum, it is up to an individual to fill it with whatever he chooses. Someone may fold his hands and refuse to do something meaningful with it. It is just like the beginning of creation when the world was one big void and God begin to create things to fill the void as He said, “Let there be Light.”
There is a vacuum for you to fill, only fill with success. Look around you, there are many unbelievers, stark illiterates who have made it one filed or the other. I am not referring to dubious characters because success as no life outside integrity. I am referring to those who by following certain principles became successful.
Have you ever wondered why this is so? And why some believers are playing second fiddle? This is disheartening. This promise belongs to us: “And the Lord shall make thee the head and not the tail and thou shalt be above only and thou shalt not be beneath.” Deutoronmy 28: 13.
