Life is filled with the scheduling of appointments.
In fact, every time that you set a goal you have set up an appointment. Why? Because you have established something that you wish to achieve and have had the courage to attach a date to it.
But what if the date comes and the date goes, and nothing has changed? Don’t allow your disappointment to be your destination. Don’t set up a memorial on that deflating spot in your life. Simply reset the appointment, and reappoint the time and place that you are going to achieve that goal – and go again.
Remember this, that any great success consists of a succession of failures. Put each failure under your feet, and before you know it you will find yourself reaching that which you have dreamt of – the heights of outstanding success.
The choices that we make on a minute by minute basis determine our destiny.
Every choice chosen has an immediate impact on our lives and on the lives of others. So when it comes to making choices – choose wisely.
In the scriptures we’re reminded of a time when a whole nation was given an instruction about making choices, and the two words that echo throughout the annals of history still hold true to this day, and they are the words, ‘Choose life!’
So how do we determine which choice to choose?
It’s quite simple.

Many discard the moments as if they are only scraps that can be easily tossed aside. But let me enlighten you by revealing to you that every second wasted is as a diamond lost.

‘The way of life winds upward for the wise.’ Proverbs 15:24
I have lived long enough to see the results of a wise life and the fruit of a foolish life.
A wise life continues to wind up higher and higher and higher, whereas a fool’s life is symbolised by the winding down effects that take them lower and lower and lower.
A fool lives for the satisfaction of the moment irrespective of the damage caused and with no thought to the ramifications that will be unveiled in the future.
Wisdom is comfortable with the fact that a good life, like a good wine, takes years to ferment – thus producing the finest vintage.

I have recently been embroiled in an ugly legal threat devised by men who have nothing better to do than to lure their prey into a net, and even before both myself and two other parties knew it, we were the victims of some vicious personal attacks aimed at destroying both ourselves and our businesses, and even some dear relationships that had been reforged between the time I first met these men until when the attacks began.
The sad thing is that these men are not what I would call stupid men. They are seemingly gifted with great talent, but have allowed themselves, because of past challenges faced, to seek devious ways to get ahead. And one of their greatest ploys seems to be that if their dreams are seemingly unachievable, that they will seek to steal or destroy the dreams of others in the process. How childish!
So how do you guard yourself against these dream stealers?
Here are just a few ways that I have, through experience, not only kept my dream in tact, but at the same time ever-expanded my dreams.
