Man at the arena

"It is not the critic who counts: not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles or where the doer of deeds could have done better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly, who errs and comes up short again and again, because there is no effort without error or shortcoming, but who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, who spends himself for a worthy cause; who, at the best, knows, in the end, the triumph of high achievement, and who, at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who knew neither victory nor defeat."

-Theodore Roosevelt 26th President of USA.

Man who make a decision to step up make a difference.

Today as Pastor shared this statement and it reminded how much a value of a dream can be.

i remember how my dear ones have to suffer under a negative spotlight for a period of time.... its like a longg night for them... but yet they persisted... and now i can see her closer to her dream.

i remember how i use to run away when i meet in any tough situations... how i blame You God... how i sought refuge on every scrap of 'lies', fault-finding, or blame-pushing ... so that i will not be at fault.

God you have grown me. i am slowly but surely a different man now. i dont have the spirit of fear, but of power, love and a sound mind. i can think better... see bigger pictures.

Thank you for trusting me
