Have you been tried in the FIRE

When you or others can answer that question, then you know you someone who knows what it is like to pursue a dream. Remember everyone who start out with are not intended to remain for the journey!! People operate just like seasons and God tells you there is a time and season for everything under the sun. 

Transparency is vital when starting any venture, and everyone should have a dream!! Having someone you can trust to share your inner secrets and not worry about competition is someone you can call a friend.  Now the question to also answer is can you be trusted to return the same trust and interest of others.  We are created to be supportive beings with a splash of competition.  Instead of competing to always lift yourself up, try competing to lift another up and watch how God will elevate you both because of your selfless service to one another.

If they can't tell you were they are going or at least express genuine desire to better themselves, then you know it will be a short ride.  Remember everything has a season, some pleasant while others can be harsh, either way its ok, just make sure you learn what's needed in that opportunity. 

There is a lesson and test before every opportunity!! Study and pass the test.

In Christ Jesus,
