Successful Living!
We all have 24 hours each day.
No one have more, no one have less. What is then the difference
for it is evident that others accomplish more than the rest?
Respect of time
We must realize that time is a limited commodity. Our time on
earth is limited, our years are numbered. So we must be wise
then to redeem our time.
The desire to grow
You can use all your time digging dirt or you could use some of
your time to polish your brain to work in it its higher caliber.
The question is, do you have the guts to do it? Are you
motivated enough to make a change for good?
Growing is one of the most painful of all experiences. Suffering
makes one grow. We didn't plan to suffer but when we refuse to
grow or mature, we suffer nonetheless. In that situation, being
wise enought, we then make the decision to grow.
Imagination
We can use our imagination to work for us or against us. You can
imagine that there is a lion waiting at the streets to eat you
up, thus you are afraid to venture in the open in fear of being
eaten up by a lion! So what is your lion? Isn't it just a
figment of your imagination that you created so that you can
have an excuse to pamper yourself in bed all day?
Your imagination can do you unspeakable good. Take a good look
at the city, tell me is there a single building that was built
without an architect who designed it first conceptually on
paper. Yes all creation starts at the mind. Be careful though
that it will not die in there. Let your dreams grow
strengthening it continually by feeding your mind with positive
thoughts.
Direction
Where am I to go? That is one of the most difficult questions I
have to answer recently. I have two job offers that compete each
other in offered benefits. But that doesn't give me the reason
not to decide. As painful as it can be we must make decisions
that either break us or make us.
So where do we get our directions? The apostle Paul preached the
good news from place to place. Like fire that burns everything
in its way so is the apostle preaching the good news of
salvation in every place he goes. But not always... at times the
Holy Spirit hindered him to enter a certain village to direct
him to another one.
So we must be sensitive enough for the leading of the Holy
Spirit. The bible also says that the Children of God are led by
the Spirit of God.
Rest
As important it is to use our time wisely, it is also important
to rest. When we rest, we enable our bodies and imagination to
recharge itself. Only by resting that we can accomplish more and
properly maintain the most important asset in achiving our goals
-- our physical bodies.
