When asked by a group of tourists whether any great men had been born in his village, Leonard Ravenhill had this to say, nope, only babies. They further asked, why then is it that we have so many great men in this village? He answered, naturally they were born as babies but they stretched out for greatness.
Note: Every person who has ever achieved anything in life has stretched for it. There is no such thing as a self made person. There is no such thing as a person who comes into the world fully equipped for success, every person who has ever made it to the top, every person who has ever achieved anything, every person who has been effective in life has learned to stretch. Success is due to our stretching to the challenges of life. Failure comes from shrinking from them. There is no such thing as a man who was born great. Great men were once babies who had ordinary desires just like you and me but they extraordinarily made a name for themselves. All giants today have been weak men who did great things even despite their weakness. Your weakness should never be an excuse; it should rather be the stepping stone for achieving greatness. Stretch out for greatness. You can do it. I believe in you.
