One thing is very common among people of all classes and race, it is this, that we often blame effects when we should deal with causes. However, it is when the causes are adjusted that the effects are of benefit.

Often the big things which are blamed for our failures in life are not the cause but the effect. It is rather the little things that look unimportant which eventually put a halt to the wheel of progress. It is the little distraction that reduces the concentration and loss of focus on the subject of study which eventually leads to poor performance at the examinations. It is the little untreated wound that becomes a big sore which makes the limbs useless. It is the small but repeated idea and fear of failures that paralyse the will and lead to inferiority complex. It is the bad company that pollutes the heart of the innocent boy or girl and leads him or her to destruction and sorrow. It is the bad example shown by someone else that ignites evil ideas which leads to the downfall of others.

However, you must not remain stunted and dwarfed in your progress because of anything or anybody. There is a reason why you must be what you dream to become. The reason is because you can! Therefore rise up today and move forward.

Challenge:  Little fire can burn down a mighty mansion.

Prayer:        Lord, please, take care of little foxes in my life.
