How To Succeed In Any Adventure You Undertake

2 Tim. 2:4 - No soldier in active service entangles himself in the affairs of everyday life, so that he may please the one who enlisted him as a soldier. NASU 

  • Stay Focused On The Task Before You 
You would think once you established your goals it would be easy to work towards accomplishing them. The truth is you will be faced with all types of distractions.
 
As we can see the Apostle Paul uses a military soldier as an example. When he says, "No soldier in active service entangles himself in the affairs of everyday life."
 
In other words, the soldier will not become distracted. He will not lose his focus. His focus is on being a good soldier and pleasing the person who enlisted him.
 
Therefore, daily distractions will not disqualify this soldier. 
  • Possible Distractions 
There are numerous possible distractions in which we can encounter in this life.
 
Some soldiers have been known to go AWOL (absent without leave) because of love. They left home to join the military and in so doing the one they were in love with was left behind. While serving they believed they had to see this special person and left their post. This never ends well.
 
Illnesses likewise can cause a person to become distracted from the task in front of them.
 
Some job offers will come your way and at first appear to be the answer to all your problems.
 
We probably have all heard of battle fatigue. This happens when a person has been in the fight way too long without getting some rest and relaxation. Everyone needs time to recharge their batteries.  
  • The Key To Succeeding 
The best way to succeed is not to lose your focus.  When distractions come don't go with them. I believe Nehemiah had the best answer when his detractors were trying to side track him.
 
Neh. 6:1-4 - Now when it was reported to Sanballat, Tobiah, to Geshem the Arab and to the rest of our enemies that I had rebuilt the wall, and that no breach remained in it, although at that time I had not set up the doors in the gates, 2 then Sanballat and Geshem sent a message to me, saying, "Come, let us meet together at Chephirim in the plain of Ono." But they were planning to harm me. 3 So I sent messengers to them, saying, "I am doing a great work and I cannot come down. Why should the work stop while I leave it and come down to you?" 
 
Nehemiah gives the perfect answer in my opinion: "I am doing a great work and I cannot come down. Why should the work stop while I leave it and come down to you?"
 
Basically, he is saying I am not going to be distracted by you guys. I am doing a great work and I am not going to finish my work by entering into a meeting with all of you.
 
Don't let anything or one distract you from your goal and you will find out success comes to those who refuse to quit.
 
Think About These:
 
We rate ability in men by what they finish, not by what they attempt.
 
Some fellows dream of worthy accomplishments, while others stay awake and do them.
 
You can't make a place for yourself under the sun if you keep sitting in the shade of the family tree.

Stay Pumped,
