The Secret to Making Progress:
The secret is realizing that life is not an elevator. It is a staircase where you progress step by step as you make the effort to climb. So why is it that you want quick and easy things as if you can go from the basement to the presidential suite in one overnight step?
In the business world, you may seek money and promotion...but with that additional responsibility comes a greater need to be able to handle a higher level of pressure, problems, conflict, criticism, and opposition that comes with it. So God has designed it that we move in steps. And each step we advance and then balance ourselves and prepare to move again. Sometimes life will offer you a blessing of taking a few steps in the same stride, but you may not ready because you still perceive yourself as being too far down the stairs or you have too much fear to take the leap. It is possible that our gifts and talents can sometimes take us places that our mind is not ready for, that our self-perception isn't ready for, and even that our character isn't ready for
Stop putting so much pressure to go so fast. Although you think you want to take 10 steps with each stride, I have found I get more progress in life step by step...and as I am patient, humble, stop complaining, and an willing to do my part to make the effort and never give up...the Lord will guide you and give you the strength to rise up the stairs faster than you could have ever imagined. But first you imagine yourself getting to the top of the stairs and not envisioning yourself getting 1/2 up the stairs and falling back 4 steps.
WARNING...If you get complacent on a step and run into a challenge then it can push you back enough that you fall backward in the wrong direction. However, if you are focused on progress, and keep trying each day, you will have forward momentum even if in the smallest way. During a difficult and overwhelming trial sometimes we you trip...but if you try daily and don't ever stand still on that step...that way....
In closing, if you find yourself, for whatever reason, feeling like you keep falling down the steps and life gives you blow after blow, heartache after heartache ...I hope this video gives the peace and hope to turn your circumstances into a beautiful heartbreak and never stop trying to taking that single step forward.
