nothing should stop you

following obstacles on his way:
o a road block
o a storm

insurmountable obstacles

these strategies:

Do not focus on the obstacles, focus on
the destination
o
Ignore the most imposing obstacles

9. o Make the obstacles work for you, not
against you
o Find creative ways to remove the
obstacles if they cannot be ignored
o Be persuasive

10. o Be persistent
o Discover the gatekeepers to your destiny

11. The way to your destination is not always a
smooth, straight, predictable path

going backwards instead of forward

13. On the journey to success, there might be:
o losses
o failure
o death
o distractions
o demotions
o mental or physical imprisonment
o oppression

14. Everything competes to get your attention

15. Everything seems to be destined to stop you

is inevitable

18. You succeed in the midst of the obstacles

19. You succeed under any condition

20. You succeed in any environment

21. You are sent somewhere to crumble and die
but it is there that you find your greatest
strength

22. It is there that you come alive

23. You are in deep water but it is there that you
learn to swim with the sharks

24. It is in the lions’ den that you find yourself,
like Daniel, coming out without a single
scratch

25. You have been through the fire but you
carry:
o no burns
o no scars
o no signs of distress
…because you are destined for success

26. Dominic James, footballer of St. Georges
College, Jamaica, died

captain during a tournament?

match following Dominic’s death

mother stated: “no matter what else is
going on, the game must go on”

hard, still keep your head up, still hope for
the best – you are destined for success!

Jesus Christ, the Most High
God, who renders us
destined for success
