Don't Lose the Game Before You Even Start to Play

"Tomorrow, our seeds will grow. All we need is dedication." - Lauren Hill

We all have dreams. Some of them are easily attainable; others seem impossible to achieve. Usually, we say that we are willing to do whatever it takes to make our dreams come true, but are we? In reality, we do not want to put in all of the work it takes for our dreams to come to pass; we would rather have them handed to us. But take these wise words from Lauren Hill into consideration - "All we need is dedication."

So, ask yourself, are you dedicated? Are you really committed to becoming all that you were created to be? Proverbs 24 states, "...I learned this lesson: A little extra sleep, a little more slumber, a little folding of the hands to rest - the poverity will pounce on you like a bandit; scarcity will attack you like an armed robber" (verses 32-34). This proverb explains that we will not have what we so desire if we decide to be lazy and not do our part to make things happen.

So, what are you waiting for? Don't lose the game before it even starts; have some integrity and do what's right and necessary to succeed.
