Don’t Dig Your Own Grave.

I walked a long distance after having a major surgery and then the following days were marked with a lot of pain of which I realized I had pushed myself into it. Then as I was musing I saw a different picture of a daily routine that a man can inflict himself and walk or run a distance way off than it’s expected of him and at the end of the day over burden or over work himself to his death or to a place that will take him longer to recover.
As you work each day make every day a master piece but work with wisdom, do not depend solely on your physical strength. Spreading yourself too thin and overworking will just help you dig your own grave. Honestly what will it help you to spend all your time at work and not enjoy your family or life if you are single? If you spread yourself too thin no one will really feel your influence. If you give a minute to your wife another to a sister and so on; reaching 24 people assuming you give yourself a minute to sleep I tell you that everyone including you will realize how insane that is. Of course I have exaggerated this one but how far or how long do you stretch yourself in meaningless distances that you cover each day?

Today's Lesson from the Poet Series1

“An Unexpected Day” I woke up this morning feeling pretty fine, least did I know what my day held. It was a regular routine to the doctor’s office but I ended up in an image tunnel, they called it a CT scan. The diagnosis brought a totally new landscape of my schedule; in short I am scheduled for an immediate surgery. O how life can twist in a moment. When the news was broken in my ears, all I could say was, “I know God has a perfect plan for me, I know he thinks good towards me, I know he has been good to me and with him all things are possible to them that believe”. I lifted up my voice of faith like a mighty shield and began to confess; “It is well with me, it is well, it is well! I will stand still and see the salvation of the Lord.” This was the reason my blog was not updated for a while but now I am recovering all is well, all is well. I believe you will learn something from these daily postings that no matter what the day brings for you can afford to relax if you trust God beca...

Thanksgiving

In every thing give thanks: for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you. 1 Thessalonians 5v18 (King James Version) If the heart is thankful, giving thanks is not hard but if there are seeds of ungratefulness it will be hard for you to give thanks. You may say what is there in my life that I can thank him for, let me say just a few, the fact that you woke up this morning and you still have your breathe that alone is a miracle to thank him for; life is a great gift you can never be able to repay. Thank him that you are in your right mind, in good health, with a place to lay your head etc. You are blessed and if you are thankful you will not be discouraged. Thankful people are always filled with goodness and loaded with benefits. It is a Thanksgiving day, think of all he did for you this year … if you make a list or get out your journal, you will be amazed at his goodness. Your year might have been filled with thorns but I know that even roses do have thorns but when you ge...

Discipline

I like discipline in all its areas and meaning. A disciplined person is a treasure to have, because no matter where you put them they can emerge out with a graceful composure. If you put a disciplined person under pressure the results can match their discipline. We all know people in our time like General Colin Powell (according to me he is one of America’s great leaders) who has modeled great discipline not just in the army but as Secretary of State and in his daily activities and just from what he has shown us in leadership we know it did not happen over night. People like Leonardo, Mozart, Michelangelo great masters in their fields, they practiced, learned good principles, they did not slack in their studies; they did everything they new to do, they reinforced it again and again until they got the process and had a pattern to bring out the results that made them great masters. Discipline is a word that many people don’t want to hear but maybe today you can consider this reminder an...
