Regardless if you can make out the silver lining or not cloudy days get a bad rap.
Why do we fixate on the negative things in life?
Can we worship God in the sunshine and appreciate the lesson learned in the rain without it turning into such a drama fest?
God says the ground is cursed because of Adam. You will reap of it by the sweat of your brow.
I am continuing to try and capture success as it happens in my life and it feels quite similar to trying to catch a butterfly with a fishing net.
I read somewhere that, “anything worth having is a struggle to get”, or the quote from ‘A League of their Own’, “the hard is what makes it great!”
I am discovering, yes, you can continue on in your current life situation and call it good. But what are you comparing it to?
We are told to be content, the Apostle Paul said he found the secret to contentment and he knew what it was to be in want and to have abundance.
I’m saying, he could say that because he experienced both and found Christ was in both. If you only experience one then your information to make an informed decision is lacking.
Who am I to say what good is or isn’t?
I do know that I have had this yearning inside of me, right under my sternum for most of my life that I am aware of. It makes me question my whole existence, what I think a good life is and if I want to change it, is it really possible to do so?
All of the ‘self help books’ and blogs and habit list’s and vlogs and articles online and in print and all of the tv motivational speakers would have you believe that it is possible and more.
Setting goals and sticking to a schedule to accomplish that goal are all very doable and you can see results in your life with things like diet and exercise…. if…… you give them enough time and integrate them into your life as a lifestyle change because if you don’t you will be right where you started.
Do you think where you are in life is the sweet spot?
Do you feel you have made your choices or have your choices made you? Do you feel like you even had a choice?
I have found that it is hard to believe or imagine the best outcome when your whole life has been one let down after another.
How do we do it then?
Right now I am in the phase of listening to, trusting in and copying the experts. They say you need a suit, ok, now what?
I am currently studying a little book, a self help book, from 1931 called I DARE YOU, by William H. Danforth of the Purina company.
I will be doing a book review of it.
If successful people are willing to share what they feel made them successful who are we to think it won’t work for us.
God’s laws, all of his laws, both spiritual and physical laws are for us.
To sustain us, help us and bring us closer to Himself.
