Picture this:
You are standing on a conveyor belt. It is carrying you down a long hallway. Each side of the hallway is lined with closed doors with small signs hanging on them.
The messages on the signs are something you need to pay close attention to. The speed of the conveyor belt is not fast--slow enough for you to get off and enter any one of the doors.
You realize that you have passed a door forever.
Looking down the hallway, you see that the belt is going towards a big door named "Exit". Even though this door was a little far, you realize that the belt is forever moving towards it.
After passing a few doors, trying to make out the small writing on the doors, you realize that each sign contains a personal goal , a dream that you like to achieve. Each door is an opportunity for change, success, happiness.
The hallway is your life. Like life, the longer you wait to step through the doors, the greater the chance they will pass you by.
One can never fully achieve their God-given potential--if they fail to act appropriately at the right moment.
