This is Part 2 of the Lines of Impact Series.
If you haven’t, you need to read Lines of Impact 001 to understand what I mean by them, what they mean to me and what they could mean to you. You can still choose your favourite two from the list. Here’s the deal: I will write nine of mine each part of the series and select one from a different person to complete the set. If you want me to consider yours, then share your favourite line of impact in the comment box.
Oh by the way, #8 received the vote in Part 1:
You don’t need a degree to achieve success in life. But you need vision, discipline, focus and commitment.
- Pain is not meaningless. There’s purpose in pain.
- God is beyond impressive.
- It’s an awesome feeling (and reality) to know that we are imperfect men and women in the hands of a perfect God.
- Your life is not measured by the amount of ‘stuff’ you acquire, but by the lives your life has given meaning through the meaning God has given you.
- Risk takers make things happen. Others watch everything happen and applaud.
- Focus on your assignment; don’t till another man’s vineyard when you’re called to work yours. There’s no reward for it.
- You cannot afford the risk of not taking any risk.
- It’s not enough to achieve your dreams; give others a platform for theirs.
- Out of the broken pieces of our lives, God creates a masterpiece.
- How do leaders emerge? They take responsibility for a cause greater than themselves and succeed against all odds (Gori Olusina Daniel)
Question & Exercise:
- Which two are your favourite lines of impact on the list above.

“A state of mind that sees God in everything is evidence of growth in grace and a thankful heart.” -Charles Finney
Joy, how true!
Although I would have made the statement in two halves: one on evidence of growth in grace and another on thankfulness. But it doesn’t matter, Charles already said it all on one 🙂
Thanks
yes me..lol #life inspire
Haha, you bet it does. You’ve inspired me this morning. Care to share the post on Facebook? You’re already a strong contender!
Yayyyy, aww, thanks 🙂
on a straight-face note, just thought i’d share that, its like a serious credo that i put together to keep me grounded through life. when i saw your post i decided to share cause it related well with the topic..
I get deep like that sometimes lol {had to add that, why cant i be 100% serious at least 70% of the time}lol
Well said. I do appreciate the ‘straight face’ input 🙂
my favourite two are #8 and #10.
Mine is:
“Humbled: unique breathing dust that I am. From dust I came, to dust I shall return, but before I leave God in me, impact I will make. God save my soul”.
“Humbled: unique breathing dust that I am. From dust I came, to dust I shall return, but before i leave God in me, impact I will make. God save my soul. 😀
Who authored that? You? Awesome!!! Definitely a life-changing line of impact. Wow!
I’m not used to blogs, I keep posting new ones when there is a reply arrow, lol and you cant delete for correction.
You’ll learn. It’s an experience.
I love comment no 6. “Don’t till another’s land, focus on yours”
True words for me. What I get is the fact that everyone’s race track is different. Run your own race. Focus on the goals and assignment God has given you. When you achieve, there is a reward. But there is no reward when you fail at yours and succeed at another man’s.
Thanks Enoba. Do you have any line of impact to contribute?
