Life lesson #1

I have learned many lessons over the years, but the one that sticks out to me is one about self-reliance. Most people spend too many hours, days and even years making excuses for why they ‘can’t’. I am one of those people. It is way easier to do the task than to think of ways to get out of the task. This however involves a balance of can do attitude and humbleness. One can’t go around believing that they can move mountains with less than a mustard seeds sized faith.

Maybe you are one who thinks that others should do for you. I know many people who would rather others do for them, so they won’t have too. I can say that I am not one of these people. For those of you who are, jump into something head first and finish. You’ll be amazed at how you feel.

For those that feel ‘entitled’ to everything because of who you are or what you do, a word of warning. One day you will answer for using your ‘entitlement’ for selfish reasons. There are only a handful of things we are entitled to. My challenge to you is to truly find those things. A helpful hint is to be unselfish in your search. If you seek, you will find.

Lord forgive me for time I’ve wasted. Thank you for another day to ‘do’ rather than ‘complain’.
