Do you struggle to get started? Is the entrepreneurial spirit constantly alluding your best efforts to launch a brand new idea in your life, home, or ministry? Here are few thoughts to breathe new life into your personal initiative:
- “Don’t compare your beginning with someone else’s middle.” ~Acuff
- “New beginnings are often disguised as painful endings.” ~Tzu
- “The scariest moment is always right before you start.” ~King
- “Small opportunities are often the beginning of great enterprises.” ~Demosthenes
- “Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the world; indeed, it’s the only thing that ever has.” ~Mead
- “The secret of getting ahead is getting started.” ~Unknown
- “It is never too late to be who you might have been.” ~Eliot

Don’t underestimate the significance of getting out of the “starting blocks”-it is vital to moving forward in God’s will for your life. We need more brand-spanking-new ingenuity to launch personal journeys of faith, expand Christian homes, build kingdom-minded businesses, and pioneer fledgling church plants all over the world for God’s glory. May I ask you what is truly possible if we can figure out how to consistently hurdle “the hump” of starting and experience the sweet, shocking momentum that supernaturally follows?
Php 3:13-14 “Brethren, I count not myself to have apprehended: but this one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind, and reaching forth unto those things which are before, I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus.”
