Excuses give us permission to stay where we are and settle for less than God’s best. As long as you’re holding on to something that happened in the past, you’ll be stuck where you are. Throw out the excuses.
No matter how nice you are, you’re going to encounter people who are hard to get along with. How you handle difficult people will determine how high you will go.
God said in Isaiah 60, “I will make it happen quickly.” It may look like you’re falling behind, too late to accomplish your dream. Don’t worry; God knows how to speed things up. He can do it quickly.

Don’t get talked out of who you know you are. Don’t let how long it’s taking, what you didn’t get, who left you out, convince you to lower your standard, give up on your dream. God’s favor is on your life. He’s called you for such a time as this.
When you help others rise higher, God will help you rise higher. When you help that neighbor who’s down, you visit that coworker in the hospital, you mentor that young man who’s lonely, when you let others borrow your faith, there’s no limit to how high God will take you.
