"Good morning! Did you know that you are entering a special moment in time that requires listening to the Spirit of God in order to get the most out of your day? Every morning you are handed twenty-four golden hours. They are one of the few things in this world that you get free of charge. If you had all the money in the world, you couldn't buy an extra hour. What will you do with this priceless treasure? Remember, you must use it well, as it is given only once. Once wasted, you cannot get it back.
Allen Steble said something here that will give us a correct perspective when it comes to resisting those who would wish to keep us down in life: The world may look down on you as you fight your way to the top, but as soon as you get there they will have no choice but to look up to you. Listen, its hard work that beats talent when talent fails to work hard. So, talent is not everything, but hard work is essential to accomplishing everything, especially when you start late in life as so many do. Get started right now and change your situation in life if its lagging behind.
Motivation is the thing needed in order to get you started. Habit is what keeps you going. Just make sure the thing that is motivating you and the habit being developed is worth establishing, because its going to stick for a life time. Many find themselves drawn into things that aren't in their best interest simply because they require no discipline and are easy to obtain. The easiest things in life often have grave consequences of enormous proportions. Motivation of the heart and soul however, is like food for your brain. You cannot get enough in one reading of the Word of God. It needs to be a continual and a daily process in your life. It is here that you will gain the greatest wisdom on earth on how to live a full and prosperous life.
The reasons are crucial and very important that you pay attention, because we are presented with two levers in life which moves us down the road, these being of course, the things that interest us and those that we fear. Therefore, by these two motivators people move through life for better or for worse. Whatever interests you, make sure it has the qualities that honors God, others, and yourself. Never be driven by fear, for God did not give that spirit to us. More people have become a shipwreck in life because they let fear drive them in its direction of doom. We on the other hand as followers of Christ, are created to be venturous and to search out a matter and bring out the best for everyone and not just for ourselves. Just make sure you are pulling on the right lever in life!" ~Dad~ |
