Signposts on the Road to Success by E.W.Kenyon
I did believe this once.I thought that there were but a few who had real ability, and that the rest of us belonged to the mob.I venture to say that it will be almost impossible to pick out a single person in any large establishment who does not have the ability along some line that could make him outstanding if it were developed.
I am dictating this little article for the ambitious man or woman-not for the man who is too lazy to develop what is in him, but for the man who is unsatisfies with anything but the best.
As I study men and women, I am convicted of this : There are very few who have developed to the limit the possibilitioes within them.
There is no overdevelopment.
Many people are in the wrong place in life.
They have no gift for the thing they are trying to do.
They are doing it simply to get by.
There is room and a salary waiting for the man who has the ability and is willing to put hard work into it. Choose your work, rather than have the work in which you have no interest thrust upon you.
FIND OUT WHAT YOU CAN DO, what you like BEST to do.
I don't care who you are. I don't care what your handicaps are. They have never made a handicap that could hold any man down who had in him the yeast to rise. Most of the people who are at the bottom because they will to stay there. That is where they belong.
It is hard thing to say, but it is true. I am now what I willed to be throught all these years.
The first thing to do is to find out what you want. Set your eyes on the goal. Then fight for it.
When you find that objective, set your compass and sail for that star.

I was once the young gal or lady now :) asking the same question. I thought only an elite few had the abilities. I look around me and admire the people around me at how much they achieve in life and wonder to myself maybe they are just gifted. I went for all types of job, doing things which I do not enjoy trusting God's grace to help me and I'll learn to enjoy and see good in everything. And I failed time and time again. When this happens, I questions myself whether was there anything wrong with me? Was it my mistake? Why could everyone do it but not me even the simplest task like admin.
Keith shared to us in cg that when he was at his lowest point in life being jobless for a few months, even when he look at a receptionist, he felt himself inadequate of doing even that task. I felt that once too.
I believe E.W. Kenyon went thru this journey of life to be able to tell you this. When I read it now, I got the revelation of it. It takes only a page to fill it up but it probably took the author years of struggle to come out with it.
It's really so important to do what you love and are gifted in. That's when you really experience the grace of God. Doors will open for you. You'll experience favor after favor. Works becomes light and easy. Once, I was fearful of failure because I tried doing what I'm not gifted for. But when you put to use what the Lord had given you, you do not fear failures but see success in your life. And prosperity is not something unachievable or only for the few, but it is within reach.
After all our gift to Him is an expression of what we've been given by Him.
I love another thing Keith told me, "The day you find what you love doing, it's the last day you'll work"
Isn't that simply beautiful? =)
