Do the right things and leave the rest for God
DOING THE RIGHT THINGS
George Bernard Shaw said, 'People are always blaming their circumstances for what they are. I don't believe in circumstances. The people who get ahead are those who get up and look for the circumstances they want, and if they can't find them, they make them:.'
A farmer can plant anything he wants; the land doesn't care one way or the other. Suppose he plants both wheat and poisonous hemlock. The land will return poisonous hemlock as plentifully as it does wheat.
Your mind is far more fertile, but the same principle applies. It doesn't care what kind of seeds you plant; success or failure, good or evil, anxiety or peace - what you sow returns to you. 'If you follow your selfish desires, you will harvest destruction...if you follow God's ways, you will harvest eternal life.'Success lies in your daily routine.
So, get to know God . Make up your mind to be of service to somebody every day. Encourage everyone you meet. Take the first step toward overcoming a bad habit.
Do something for somebody who can't repay you. Instead of spending your working week looking forward to Friday, each day look forward to today!
Do three things that will take you outside your comfort zone.
Be thankful for what you have. Ask for help when you need it. Give God the best part of your day.
The time to be happy is now, and the place to be happy is here.
Have a fruitful week doing the right things. Good luck and God's grace on this journey we call "Life"
