Be a person of action!

Be a person of action.  The world is full of spectators and the church is full of pew-sitters. Be a doer! This does not mean that you are to be impulsive or careless; but it does mean that you cease the opportunities before you. Some people let the world pass by and are always talking about what could have been, while other cease the moment. The shakers and movers of the world are people of action. Share

But be ye doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving your own selves. -James 1:22

Proper Perspective of Problems

Have the proper perspective of your problems.  Don’t make them bigger than they are. They are not the end-all nor are they insurmountable.  They are, however, some of life’s greatest teachers; and often some of life’s greatest opportunities if you hold the proper perspective. 

Count it all joy, my brothers, when you meet trials of various kinds, for you know that the testing of your faith produces steadfastness.  And let steadfastness have its full effect, that you may be perfect and complete, lacking in nothing. (James 1-4 ESV)

I can do all things through him who strengthens me. (Philippians 4:13 ESV)

“Helen Keller was blind and deaf when she graduated from college with honors. So what's your problem?” ― Charles F. Stanley

 “Inside of every problem lies an opportunity.” ― Robert Kiyosaki

“Opportunity is missed by most people because it is dressed in overalls and looks like work.” ― Thomas Alva Edison

See the possibilities

See what others do not see. 

When it came to picking a leader for Israel, the people looked at David and saw a kid but God saw a King.

See the possibilities and the potential in every circumstance and every person. Because Opportunity seldom knocks doesn't mean it is not there. Fortunes have been made by those that saw what others overlooked. The ministry for Jesus has also benefited by saints seeing the needs of others that others overlooked.
