Today, I’d like to talk about
Alignment.
Success is all about Alignment.
Imagine an archer…
For an archer to hit his target, he
needs alignment. An archer’s most important skill is the ability to align
3 things: his bow, his arrow, and his target. Without alignment, he can’t
hit his target. That’s why my wife and I are aligned—I am Bo and she is
Marowe. (Sorry for being corny today.)
I believe we’re all archers.
Why? Because God has created you with a target: Your purpose in
life. The Bible says, Before
I formed you in the womb I knew you, and before you were born I consecrated
you; I appointed you a prophet to the nations. (Jeremiah 1:5)
In order to hit your mission in
life, you need to align 3 things: your passion, your potential, and your
purpose.
· The bow symbolizes your passion
This is
where your power comes from. You can have a very excellent arrow—sharp and
straight and strong—but if you don’t have a powerful bow, it won’t go
anywhere. In the same way, you can be as intelligent as Einstein, but if
you don’t have passion for your purpose, you won’t be successful.
· The arrow symbolizes your potential
The
arrow symbolizes your CORE GIFT; Your bow could be very powerful, but if you
picked the wrong arrow—if you picked an arrow that is bent, or brittle, or
blunt —you won’t hit your target. If you want to be successful, you have
to stick to your game. You have to be faithful to your core gift.
· The target symbolizes your purpose
Success
is a simple pattern. If you really think about it, there’s nothing
complicated about success. If you have the right bow—passion—and if you
chose the right arrow—potential—through practice—in
due time, you’ll be able to hit your purpose in life.
When you align your passion,
potential, and purpose, that is when you achieve true prosperity. This is
what I call Divine
Alignment. The reason why you lack peace, fulfillment, joy,
success, and true prosperity is because something is still not aligned in your
life.
Let me share with you today, the
first of these three elements that need to be aligned in your life…
Passion
What’s your passion?
Without passion, you won’t go
anywhere in life.
Let me rephrase my question: What
one thing do you love to do, you’ll do it even if you don’t get paid?
Here’s another scenario: Imagine if
you went back to your home province and you were cleaning the backyard of your
ancestral home. And as you were walking around, your big toe hit something
and you almost fell. After shouting Aray!
you looked down and saw something protruding from the
ground. You dig around it and realize it was the edge of a box. You
dig some more and you realize it was no ordinary box but a treasure
chest. You pull it out, open its lid—and discover it was the Yamashita
Treasure!
Later on, you measure its worth—it’s
400 million dollars.
Here’s my big question: If you had
owned that money, what will you do?
That question will uncover your
passion. For example, if I had all the money in the world, I’ll still
preach and write. Much of my preaching and writing, I don’t get
paid. For example, I donate my book royalties to the ministry. It’s
not about the money. I just love to write! I bet even if I’m 110
years old—if I can still type in a laptop—I’m certain I’ll still be writing my
books.
Friend, don’t look around for the
Yamashita treasure. Because the Yamashita treasure is within
you. It’s your passion, potential, and purpose.
