Success is traditionally celebrated at the moment of achievement. But what about the journey that brought you to success; the heart of preparation? Every day is filled with opportunities to go in many different directions.  Desire to be supported and encourage by other like-minded women? Join us at Women of IMPACT. http://bit.ly/WomenofIMPACT Based upon those decisions, you then direct where you will go. You get to maneuver the course you'll take. But unfortunately, the number of falls and failures dictate how we continue the journey. If persistence and perseverance are on your side, success is definitely in your future. However, that success is only achieved through the heart of preparation. "Life was not meant to be lived out by chance, but by choice." ~ Kristianne Wargo Through your every day, you choose to chase your dreams. Chance is buried with each step you take because you are making a choice. "One step at a time leads to miles of greatness!" ~ Kristianne Wargo It's one step to many miles. That's your ratio. So why get bent out of shape when you know the journey is long? It's because we've been programmed that success comes only at the moment of achievement; the prize being won.  Achievement alone is not a success. It's the heart of preparation where success is born. So prepare your work. The K.I.S.S. ~ Prepare your work! Prepare your work outside; get everything ready for yourself in the field, and after that build your house. Proverbs 24:27 ESV In your journey, God is making preparation today for what you will face tomorrow.  The heart of preparation will shape and ready you for God-size dreams. Stretched not confined. You are going to be pushed outside your comfort zone. Strengthened not crushed. There will be times that you feel so weak thinking you can't go on. But you will be strengthened by each step you take. Sharpened not confused. You will be refined by the fire of hope and grace. Clarity and love will abound as you discover who you are becoming.  When you are stretched, strengthened, and sharpened, you will be ready mentally, physically, emotionally, and even financially for what God has in store for you. "There are no secrets to success. It is the result of preparation, hard work, and learning from failure." ~ Colin Powell Nothing will come by chance, but by choice in God's leading. "Just because the problem is present doesn't mean it has to prosper." ~ Kristianne Wargo Wake up with a heart of preparation in which you are willing to be tested and ready for the blessings. The best is yet to come! Instead of focusing on the moment you will achieve success, look at it through the lenses of how you will meet success in your every day. Success is discovered and experienced in the heart of preparation. Create your now knowing in your heart that a celebration is in your every day! "Be present. Be incredible. Be YOU!!!"   #MindsetMonday #CreateYourNow #PersonalDevelopment TAKE A.I.M. ~ Action Ignites Motivation  - This is a complimentary (FREE) coaching call with me.
