       We can be presented with all sorts of paths. I certainly have been in the course of my life so far. There is one path someone says we should go, and then there is another path. In all of this, however, this is one thing that needs to be present within us in order for us to successfully go down that path. And that is, desire. Do we have the desire to really want to do this thing? Does it come from our hearts? Or, are we just doing it to impress other people, or because we believe we are commanded from the Bible to do it? Those foundations won’t work long-term. Anytime God wants us to do something, he gives us the desire to do that very thing. Second, to be good at doing whatever it is, we need to have the ability. Are we able to do it? Do have particular talent in doing whatever it is. A good way to gauge that if you’re really not sure, or if you’re doubtful of your own abilities, is to ask someone. Or, have people told you over the years that you're good at this particular thing? Do you find yourself enjoying your time whenever you are doing it?
