Living and growing up in a village of India, failure was not an option for me. When success is your destination I could never settle for failure. Being in this western hemisphere for the last 5+ years, one thing I noticed in the mindset of Americans are their inability to fail. Many times we are settled for failure because that is the choice we prefer and most of the time it is an unconscious work. When I learned transnational analysis (TA) there is something profound I learned way back in 2005. The script people have and one of them was "work hard and never make it." Is this not a script of failure? Failure is an option when we stop trying and many times stop trying harder. Bible gives us many examples of how to conquer our challenges and obstacles which include our failure script.
A city is an area given with boundaries, authority and a structure of laws to govern by. A city is a living organism that grows, feels, reacts, loves, hates, restores, transforms and dies. A city is a place to be taken over, occupied and controlled. Your city is your purpose, your promise, your God- given assignment in your life. You are the one called by God to create a history in your city. You might have experienced rejection and mockery. Many people might have told you that you are not good enough to achieve or pursue your dream. You might be different, who don't fit into others shoe, prediction and conventional expectations. I had my first hurricane experience while I was in the Bahamas in 2011 named 'Hurricane Irene.' It was a frightening experience. You will wonder when this destroying wind will come to a stop. Then I know that I have entrusted my life into the fathers care and He is my Captain. The wind can't destroy or take away my life until i complete my assignment in the city. The oppositions in your life should fuel a passion to pursue the purpose in your life.
Blessings
