Your mentality will eventually produce your reality
When you change your mind, you change your end
There is a mentality for authority and there is a mentality of captivity; there is a mentality of royalty and there is a mentality of inferiority (Num. 13:33)
How you think determines how you live; your end is in your mind
You can trek with the dignity higher than a car driver
If it cannot cross your mind, it cannot cross your life; if it is too big to picture it will be too much to capture

Light is a lifter of men

Everything slips away from the hands of the sleeper
Come to the point where you make a covenant with work (John 5:17)

The dreams of today are the reality of tomorrow
What is not your vison today cannot be your possession/portion tomorrow

Any dream that is not beyond you is not a dream, it is a fantasy/wish
Direction is key to distinction
Vision tells you where you are going and direction tells you how to get there
