Every day, people face challenges they'd overcome if only they aligned themselves with the right people when they decide to follow Jesus Christ.

Preachers O'Neil B. Ankle and Wazer H. Walker explore how to resist negativity, seek help from the Lord and find the right people to journey with in this inspirational book.

They challenge you to look at the bigger picture as it relates to achieving success. As you read, you'll learn how to:

- move out of your comfort zone to achieve more;
- use a vision board to elevate your life;
- find the right mentors to walk and run with;
- view failure as a temporary roadblock.

The authors also examine how fear can be crippling-and why it is essential to lean on Jesus Christ and follow His lead. A spirit of faith combined with prayer and preparation will lead to success.

If striving for more than two slices of the bread means doing more to achieve goals, then don't settle for two! Stop being mediocre and chase the extraordinary.

Why not adopt the principle of big thinking, or dreaming big, or above and beyond blessings? Why limit your capacity to achieve, when you were created for achieving excellence, success, and victory and having more than enough? You were created to soar even when you may be working against the wind of adversity. "And the Lord shall make you the head, not the tail; and thou shalt be above only, and thou shalt not be beneath" (Deuteronomy 28:13).

The process of becoming the head starts within one's mind. Despite working with the concept that says, "If I launch out, something positive can happen," achievements will not come without struggles. Someone holding you back along with stagnation may have been your lot. However, it does not have to be a death sentence. You are better than that. Learn to talk to you.

The struggle you will face on your way to progress will make you stronger. You will therefore come out of your struggle smiling, knowing that it was worth it. Purpose is never achieved without some kind of setback or failure. Nothing in this life worth having will come without some struggle.
