How many parents would say to their child – “I sure hope you mess up and fail big time today!”?  I hope that we would not know of any such parents.  Parents want their children to grow and succeed in every area of life.  No parent wants their child to settle into a life of mediocrity.  We see in our children with an almost unlimited potential.  We know in our hearts that there is so much that they can do and be, if they will just believe in themselves and give life their all!

Just as you want you child to experience success and not failure, our Heavenly Father wants us as His children to succeed in this life and the life to come!  We must believe and buy into this amazing truth!  Success occurs for those that truly believe that God wants them to succeed!  God has a plan for you life and it is a plan for you to be happy, fulfilled and blessed!  You and I need to believe in this plan and believe that we can tap into it!

God wants you you to reach your potential and contribute to the world!  Not a one of us would ever pray a prayer and ask God to allow our lives to fall apart!  When we pray, we ask God to be with us, help us, give us strength and allow us to achieve victory.  If we are going to have this amazing life that we pray for and that God wants us to have, we must take some steps that we help us to get there!

Step One:  Set Goals!  Where is it that God wants to take you and where is it that you want to go in this life?  Your goals help you to know how are going to get there!  Step Two:  Build Confidence!  When you begin to set and reach goals, you begin to see that more is possible than you realized!  You can do this thing!  Step Three:  Strive For Greatness!  You are a child of the Most High God – never settle for anything less than God’s absolute best!  Step Four:  Improve Your Self Image!  As a child of God you and your life matter, never forget it and never take it for granted!

Take some steps today to believe what God says about you!
