3. Foundation
Definition - That upon which anything is founded; that on which anything
stands, and by which it is supported; the lowest and supporting layer of a
superstructure; groundwork; basis.
One should have a basis, a structure or core belief in something or someone
greater than themselves, my grounding is based on the belief in the Creator,
God. Every goal, dream, vision, desire or purpose emanates from having faith
in and living for God. This faith is what I have believed, and am believing, that
is past, present and future. It has been spoken not just an internal thought or
idea. The invisible God has spoken through the visible Christ of kingdom that
he rules, a kingdom that dwells within us and us in it.
References: John 3:5, Galatians 5, Romans 10:1-13
4. Peace
Definition - Reconciliation; agreement after variance; harmony; concord.
Peace is a wonderful thing or state to dwell in. Most of us consider peace to be
the absence of chaos or quiet or tranquility as another definition states. In the
context of the foundation just described, I would venture to say that real peace
starts with having peace first with God and then with mankind even in the midst
of chaos or trying times.
It is a wonderful thing to have peace with God and therefore have access to the
living God to dwell quietly with him in prayer knowing that he restores my soul
over and over again.
Psalms 23, Romans 5
5. Enterprise
Definition - A project or undertaking that is especially difficult, complicated, or
risky.
So, you know what your dream business is. You can see the letterhead, logo,
web site, blog, linkedin.com profile. First, have a plan that says what do I have,
what do I need and what actions are necessary for this risk know as business,
or enterprise as the definition states, it is an undertaking that is difficult. That is
why it is important to have a work - life balance. Having your own business
requires more work than the average paid employment, since you have
responsibility for more than just earning pay, there are the administrative, legal,
marketing tasks as well. You can be successful, but do not forget to plan a
scheduled time for relaxing daily, then clear focus can come when your heart
and mind is not overwhelmed.
Psalm 61:2, Psalm 43:5, Psalm 119:165, Proverbs 16:7; John 14:27
