Success Lies Within

Going Beyond The Scarecrow

Have you ever seen a scarecrow keeping guard over a farmer's field, to keep unwanted birds away? I'm sure you have. Those scarecrows cannot move or take any step to stop those birds but those birds don't know that. So, they never move beyond the scarecrow to feast on what lies beyond the scarecrow.
So many of us go through life with the same mentality of those birds. On the journey to success, many scarecrows abound. There are many road blocks and obstacles which hinder us. Many of us, like those birds just sit by and watch longingly at what lays behind the scarecrows of life. The good news that the 'farmer' doesn't tell us is that the scarecrows of life cannot do a thing to us. It is our own fear of failure, inadequacy and our lack of confidence and faith in ourselves and our God given abilities that hinder us from moving on. Remember, just beyond the scarecrows of life lies the victory, the success, the achievement and whatever it is that we desire from life. Scarecrows can't do a thing. Just step on ahead and go beyond the thing that stands in your way. What is the scarecrow that is before you? Scarecrows never succeeded in stopping a man, rather, it is the man that succeeded in stopping himself because he did not believe he could do it.
