Hello,
You are winning on every side!
I recall Jesus calling out to his to be disciples saying "Follow me, I will make you fishers of men". While this is perceived by many as purely ministerial, I see it as a call to INFLUENCE and RELEVANCE and maybe something more...
People, or in a better sense, CROWD is a reward to those who set a trend rather than to those who maintain one. These are the ones who decided to step up their game from being RELEVANT to nearing INDISPENSABILITY.
I find one thing in common to these men... They were NEVER men focused the Crowd. Their results pulled the crowd. They had overtime practiced the habit of SOLITUDE.
Proverbs gave a sound wisdom worth applying... " A man through desire SEPERATES himself and intermedleth with all wisdom". You can't lead when you love being in the midst of people... You end up being like them.
Solitude, if effectively practiced, offers on an opportunity to intermeddle with FORCES AND INSIGHTS beyond the earth realm. It creates openings in areas concluded as closed. It prunes the mind to see the INVINCIBLE and to hear the INAUDIBLE.
Addiction to social medias, people gatherings, and its likes would keep you in the crowd zone and NEVER offer you a platform. Sometimes, the best you need to do for yourself is SWITCH OFF your mobile devices, stroll out to a quiet field, mountain or a private library away from the familiar... Get your study materials and interact with yourself.
Self interaction might include going deep and unfolding layers upon layers of your perceived personality and achievements into touching the sacred soul of your existence... It could mean asking yourself the real questions of life absent of surface urgencies that steal your time... It could mean sitting till a path of real progress for your life has been created clearly in your heart... It could mean so many things!
You've lived all your life with people, you took their opinions and advices, you've lived to gain their attention and approval and your results have reflected it... Its high time you get in touch with YOURSELF and see what you have to offer yourself.
This is the secret to DIFFERENCE!
Good Morning!
Pastor Phil.
