Climb the Staircase That You Can’t See

Why does this happen? Because they have lost faith. The number one reason people give up is that they no longer believe in themselves or in the vision they once had. They fail to see the promise clearly, so they are unwilling to pay the price. However, those who hold fast to their faith, those who refuse to let go of their vision, will endure the storm and reach the pinnacle of success. Faith is stepping forward even when you can’t see the entire staircase. This unwavering trust in the unseen is what separates the victors from the quitters.

If you are on the brink of giving up, I encourage you to hold on a little longer. Keep climbing even when the steps ahead are not visible. The following four strategies will help you reinforce your faith and push forward when doubts arise.

1. Visualize Your Success

Neville Goddard, a great teacher of faith and imagination, taught that what you consistently visualize with conviction will manifest in your life. Close your eyes and see yourself achieving your goals. Feel the success as though it has already happened. Speak life into your dreams daily. This is not just some abstract ‘law of attraction’ theory—it is biblical truth. As Proverbs 23:7 (KJV) says, For as he thinketh in his heart, so is he. To deepen your understanding of the power of visualization, check out my book on manifesting success through biblical principles.

2. The Power of Prayer

Prayer is your direct connection to God. When you feel weary, talk to Him. Commit your ways to the Lord, and He will establish your plans (Proverbs 16:3, KJV). Whether you are struggling in business, relationships, or personal growth, surrender your burdens to God. Prayer strengthens your faith and reminds you that you are not walking this path alone. You can also read more about spiritual success in this blog where I share how faith in God fuels business growth.

3. Learn from Those Who Have Succeeded

If you study the journeys of successful entrepreneurs, you will notice a common thread—they all faced massive setbacks but never gave up. Read biographies of great men and women who have built empires from nothing. Their stories will inspire you to keep going. The book of Hebrews 12:1 (KJV) encourages us to look to the ‘great cloud of witnesses’ who have gone before us. Their resilience serves as a testimony that success is possible for those who refuse to quit. My book on business and spiritual success dives deeper into these principles.

4. Daily Motivation is Key

Motivation is like a fire—it must be continuously fueled. Zig Ziglar once said, People often say that motivation doesn’t last. Well, neither does bathing—that’s why we recommend it daily. To maintain momentum, immerse yourself in books, podcasts, and videos that uplift and inspire you. Surround yourself with people who push you forward. I frequently share motivational insights on my blog that can help you stay focused.

5. Embrace Failure as a Teacher

Too many people see failure as a dead end when, in reality, it is a stepping stone to greatness. Every setback carries a lesson. Thomas Edison, when asked about his failures, said he simply found thousands of ways that didn’t work. If you have encountered obstacles in business, remember that they are refining you for greater success. Read my book on turning setbacks into comebacks for more wisdom on this.

6. Speak Life into Your Vision

Words have power. Death and life are in the power of the tongue (Proverbs 18:21, KJV). Speak positively about your goals. Declare victory over your life and business daily. Avoid negative speech and company. What you constantly say about your journey will shape your reality.

7. Take Action Despite Uncertainty

Faith without works is dead (James 2:26, KJV). You must take action even when you feel unsure. Trust that each step you take will reveal the next. God will provide illumination as you move forward. Waiting for perfect clarity before acting is a mistake—step out in faith now!

8. Surround Yourself with Faith Builders

You become like the people you spend the most time with. If you surround yourself with fearful, doubting individuals, their mindset will rub off on you. Seek out faith-filled mentors, believers, and visionaries who push you to aim higher. Join our community of entrepreneurs and faith-driven individuals at KeithMuoki.com.

9. Remember Why You Started

When the road gets tough, remind yourself of the reason you started this journey. Go back to the original vision and rekindle the fire within you. Every great accomplishment in history was achieved by someone who refused to quit.

10. Keep Climbing

You may not see the full staircase yet, but keep climbing. Trust that with every step, the way will become clearer. Faith is knowing that success is inevitable if you do not give up. Stay the course, keep believing, and one day, you will stand at the top, looking down at how far you’ve come.

Success is not for the faint-hearted, but for those who dare to believe in the unseen. Walk by faith, not by sight, and you will achieve all that God has placed in your heart. Keep going, the best is yet to come!
