Wasted time...Spent energy

Since, then, you have been raised with Christ, set your hearts on things above, where Christ is, seated at the right hand of God. Set your minds on things above, not on earthly things. For you died, and your life is now hidden with Christ in God. Col 3:1-3

Steve Jobs, the co founder of Apple Inc., the man behind the IPod, IPhone, & IPad--was a true visionary; he revolutionized the electronic world.  He had a vision, and he focused solely on seeing it become a reality.

He once said, “Here’s to the crazy ones, the misfits, the round pegs in the square holes… the ones who see things differently — they’re not fond of rules… You can quote them, disagree with them, glorify or vilify them, but the only thing you can’t do is ignore them because they change things. Some may see them as the crazy ones, we see greatness, because the ones who are crazy enough to think that they can change the world, are the ones who do.”---This has become my favorite quote of all times! I can completely relate to what he is saying, because I too am surrounded by square pegs who are changing the world... Non-conformist 

He also said, "Don't let the noise of others' opinions drown out your own inner voice." Steve Jobs was passionate and determined, I'm sure people called him crazy, but this wild man was a multi-millionaire by the time he was 25...who's crazy now right? He didn't listen to what everyone around him was saying he set his mind and things began to happen. 

Too often I see people who are focused on what others are saying. They worry about what others may think of them, they say they don't care but the truth is it's all they can think about. Every outfit, every hairstyle, every action is weighed out and decided by what so-and-so might say....Wasted time and spent energy!

It's a shame that people meditate on what the world may say or think of them instead of meditating on who they really are; who God has created them to be. Steve Jobs had vision, vision beyond someone's opinion...Until you can see beyond the haze of public opinion you will never accomplish anything except maybe a slot in the who's who of society land. (If you're lucky) 

Don't waste your time and spend your energy on the words and actions of others, find out what God says about you. Meditate on the impossibilities that are within your grasp through Him. Look beyond the ho-hum this world has to offer and grab a hold of the super-natural that God has for you. Desire more than the fleeting wealth of the world, God's inheritance is eternal! GET A VISION of who you really are.  

Although Steve Jobs passed away his legacy will live on for generations to come...If you can't rise above public opinion and step outside the box, people will never really know who you are. Don't allow anyone to dampen your resolve. You have a phenomenal-inexplicable-powerful-world changing life waiting to be discovered when you step out and be who you are!!! There's really nothing great hidden in the crowd of everyday Joe's....

I believe there are people out that that are being looked over, because of who they are. I have something cooking in me...I HAVE A VISION....

Are you crazy enough to believe that you can change the world....I am
....TO BE CONTINUED....
