Factor number Five:
We must refuse to let Obstacles or
Opposition Stop us.
Some of the factors that have helped
individuals attain extraordinary achievements
in their lives can be controlled and
some cannot. Those which can be controlled
are such things as hard work, defining goals,
staying focused on our goals, and attaining
the necessary resources for achieving them.
However, possibly the greatest single factor
in releasing the highest levels of human
achievement is one that we cannot control
and usually will do everything that we can
to avoid. That factor is adversity.
One of the faces of the Lord in Scripture
is the face of an eagle. It has been said that all
of nature fears storms except for the eagle. If
a bird faces an opposing wind at the proper
angle, it will be carried higher. Eagles learn
this early and use such opposing winds to
reach the greatest heights. The same is true
of those who learn to soar spiritually. Every
opposing wind is an opportunity to go
higher, if you will approach it at the proper
angle or attitude.
