From Small Steps to Great Heights
You cannot overlook the small in your quest for greatness, because greatness is nothing more than the accumulation of small, consistent, purposeful deeds. Be willing to start small. Be willing to start somewhere. Every giant tree began as a tiny seed.
If God has chosen you for greatness, the only way to miss it is to do nothing. Even your mistakes and unexpected detours can become stepping stones, because one thing leads to another, and the path unfolds as you move. Your destiny may be delayed, but it will not be denied, unless you refuse to act.
The measure of how much you truly desire greatness is revealed in how much you are willing to pay for it. Every great achievement demands a price of discipline, sacrifice, and persistence.
Do not destroy what God has given you simply because it can be a source of temptation; instead, ask Him for the strength to control it. Every great man or woman needs people, followers, partners, and supporters, and those same people can also become a source of difficulty. If you are called to greatness, pray for wisdom to manage people, because people can either lift you or bring you down. The same fire that cooks our food can also burn our house; wisdom determines the outcome.
If you are searching for your destiny, look for what stirs your soul and ignites your passion. That is often where your calling lies.
And remember: when God calls you toward greatness, He may give you the destination but not the full map. He gives you signs, not the thing itself, but indicators that point you toward it. Faith means following those signs, just as the wise men followed the star that led them to Jesus in a humble manger. Your signs, too, will lead you to the greatness you were made for.
I know I have what it takes to become what God designed me to be. The real question is: am I willing to pay the price? Greatness is not an accident. It is a choice.

I just wanted to give you a quick heads up! Other then that, superb blog!
Thank you
With havin so much content do you ever run into any problems of plagorism or copyright violation? My website has a lot of exclusive content I’ve either written myself or outsourced but it looks like a lot of it is popping it up all over the internet without my permission. Do you know any methods to help stop content from being ripped off? I’d definitely appreciate it.| а
I’m sorry, I don’t have any method in mind for now. But I share your concerns. Very soon I will look for a way to address that.
I was wondering if you ever considered changing the structure of your site? Its very well written; I love what youve got to say. But maybe you could a little more in the way of content so people could connect with it better. Youve got an awful lot of text for only having one or two images. Maybe you could space it out better?| а
Ok my friend, very well noted. Thanks for your concerns.
Appreciating the persistence you put into your site and detailed information you present. It’s great to come across a blog every once in a while that isn’t the same out of date rehashed information. Excellent read! I’ve bookmarked your site and I’m including your RSS feeds to my Google account.| а
I’m happy to hear that. Thanks a lot.
When I originally commented I clicked the “Notify me when new comments are added” checkbox and now each time a comment is added I get several e-mails with the same comment. Is there any way you can remove people from that service? Bless you!| а
Thank you my friend. We will try and fix that.
Hello! I know this is kinda off topic however , I’d figured I’d ask. Would you be interested in trading links or maybe guest writing a blog post or vice-versa? My website goes over a lot of the same subjects as yours and I believe we could greatly benefit from each other. If you might be interested feel free to shoot me an email. I look forward to hearing from you! Terrific blog by the way!| а
Very well, but my job is taking more of my time recently. lets keep in touch and see what happens.
Hi, I think your website might be having browser compatibility issues. When I look at your website in Ie, it looks fine but when opening in Internet Explorer, it has some overlapping. I just wanted to give you a quick heads up! Other then that, fantastic blog!| а
Thank you my friend. I will have a look at it.
Great article, totally what I was looking for.| а
Im happy to hear that
