Question

I have a question regarding limits:

let (sn) be a convergent sequence, and suppose lim sn > a. Prove there exists a number N such that n > N implies s>a.

I started by saying lim sn = L > a, and I'm assuming we want to prove by contradiction ( s< a, then lim sn < a), but I get to the definition

|s- L| and get lost. Where do I go from here? Thanks!
