There’s still another goal for you to reach

There comes a time when you are at a crossroad in your life.

Finally, you think you’ve turned the corner… only to find it’s a dead end.

Or a goal is just about in your hands… and it is abruptly taken from your grasp.

Instead of sitting around and being depressed, pick yourself up, because: Life has a bigger plan for you. Greater is coming. There’s still another goal for you to reach.

This is a turning point. Roadblocks have been put into your way to direct you onto a better path. God has another place for you. A path that is truer to the purpose God intends.

You are a conqueror, a champion. Remember that those who have had extraordinary accomplishments also have had crushing defeats. We must anticipate obstacles. But know that if life hands us a trial, it also hands us the strength and ability to overcome that challenge. Stay open to new possibilities. Blaze new paths. And be ready to act when opportunity shows its face. God can put a single idea into your mind that could revolutionize your life and the lives of others.

Then, she had an idea: “Instead of writing a book, wouldn’t it be great if someone actually ran that sort of dream company?”

At the age of 48, this newly widowed woman, with $5,000, started her business. Many people forecasted that she would fail, but she never wavered or paid attention to the negative predictions. Instead, the woman followed her own heart and with strong character, pressed forward past the boundaries. Believing God was her guide, she began her
