Well hello there, my dear friend! Welcome again.

There is no harm in trying. One might add, at the end of the day, if it might fail, the least you can remind yourself is that you tried. My dear friend, fear blocks blessings– fear blocks your initiative to try. You can’t open doors that God opened for you if you don’t try walking towards it.
Dear friend, fear cripples you from trying. You fear failure and disappointments but what if you turn your fears into opportunities? Why not convert every weakness into strengths and why not empower yourself to try? Understandably, if there are so many downs than ups in your whole life, you begin to doubt yourself, especially your strengths and capabilities. Let me remind you this: all of that happened in order for you to grow, stand up, rest, and try again.
“Never give up, because great things take time.”

A powerful quote, right? Building your dreams takes time. It doesn’t happen with one snap of your fingers– it will take you days, months, and even years.
Remember Noah? He built the ship through days and nights, withstood the harsh weathers, and criticism from people who didn’t believe in him. But what did he do? He still pushed forward, he still continued to make the ark, and when the time came, he reaped all of his hardships. During the time he was making it, he also prayed and believed in the power of God and the Holy Spirit to move and flourish in his life.
What can you learn from the story? In order for you not to get tired from pursuing your dreams, you must do the following…
Plan it out. Before the flood, Noah planned the whole thing out– from the structure of the boat to the wood that will be used. Just like Noah, you can do that as well. Plan your steps and make necessary improvements if the situation demands it.
Believe. Not only did Noah believe in himself but he also believed in the power of the Holy Spirit, that’s why his faith cannot be shaken by anybody.
Rest. Learn to rest when you are tired. Some people forget this and instead of resting, they quit. Always remember to rest, recalibrate your focus, and fight on.
Pray. One of your best arsenal when you feel like giving up — prayer. Noah felt disheartened too, but he prayed it out and God reminded him that He is in control, He is in power. So don’t be afraid, pray it out, my dear friend.
