The greatest achievements were obtained by those who
took one step after the next. They resolved to succeed,
and moved little by little toward a worthwhile goal.
Temporary obstacles in one situation are very often
stepping stones to remarkable blessings. Be grateful
even for setbacks, for each contains the seed of an
equal or greater blessing.
By infusing your thoughts with love and faith, you will
build the tenacity and spiritual fitness needed to meet
every obstacle with resolve. You will greet each
morning with anticipation. Your God-given purpose will
sparkle in your eyes and fill your heart with authentic
joy.
Even the most mundane tasks can be viewed as small
stepping stones on a far-reaching journey. Like small
brushstrokes in a beautiful painting, each small action
will contribute to its perfection; craft each one with
care and excellence.
Our stepping stones, arranged carefully, place us in an
advantageous position for moving forward. They become
part of a pathway filled with beautiful rewards today
and tomorrow.
Ask yourself: What are the stepping stones I can see
now that could lead toward my goals? How can I best
arrange them so that my next step brings me nearer to
my desired achievements?
It doesn't matter if the stream is narrow or wide. Your
goal may be attainable next week or seem years beyond
the horizon. There is always that first stepping-stone
to start you on the journey.
Faith places every stepping stone within reach. May the
love and faith in your heart illuminate the path before
you today. Step forward, and you'll be on your way!
