We Are All In This Together By Ourselves

Every great idea and dream must be established between you and God alone. There will come times where only you and He will believe it is going to happen. Can you stand alone? There is power in the principle of standing alone and being alone.

John Gardner, a renowned businessman, declared:

" The cynic says, One man can't do anything. Nobody can do it for you and no one will do it for you."

Henry Wadsworth Longfellow put it this way:

" Not in the clamor of the crowded streets, not in the shouts or plaudits of the throng, but in ourselves are triumph and defeat."You can't delegate your thinking, dreaming, or believing to others.

Thomas Edison who claimed he could think even better because of his partial deafness, said:

"The best thinking has been done in turmoil."

Even God declares: "Be still and know that I am God." (Psalm 46:10)

Eagles fly alone; crows fly in groups. Know how to get away. Do not belong so completely to others that you do not belong to yourself. The fact is, we're all in this together by ourselves.

Alexander Graham Bell made this observation:

"Don't keep forever on the public road. Leave the beaten road occasionally and drive into the woods. You'll be certain to find something you've never seen before. One discovery will lead to another, and before you know it, you will have something worth thinking about to occupy your mind."

A reasonable amount of time alone is indispensable, but it should primarily be time spent preparing to return to the battle. Be sure to spend some time alone on a regular basis. Don't accept that others know you better than yourself. Great leaders have always encountered violent opposition from mediocre minds. The biggest mistake that you can make is to believe that you work for someone else. You really work for yourself and for God's plan for your life.

Learn to be alone and stand alone or nothing worthwhile will catch up with you.
