Stop Reading - Start Doing

Here I am staring at a blank white text box, slowly watching letter after letter appear as I ponder what to write about in today's installment.   The trouble with being a blogger of an inspirational site is having some fresh inspirational thing to say every time.

As I think about it, all the inspiration quotes in the world did not make a whit of difference in my life, except to maybe temporarily brighten my mood (and take up some memory space).  For that matter 25 years of studying about success did little to help me either.

In the end, it's not about the 'knowing'.  It's about the 'doing'.   Fact of the matter is a lot of people who are doing right now, what you want to be doing, didn't get there from reading any inspiration material like this.  They simply took the necessary actions.  But how did they know what actions to take you ask?   They didn't!  Not initially.  They either figured it out through trial and error or sought the advice of those who had carved out the path ahead of them.

Doing it - God's Way

One of the realization's I've had is that my life runs best when I get in line with God's plan for my life.

I find there's three ways of running your life.

Doing it MY Way:

This is of course a very popular option, especially in today's day and age of independent, agnostic, thinking.   It also feeds one's pride and ego to say, 'I did it - myyyyyy wayyyy'.   I certainly was a follower of this phylosophy myself up until late last year.

Love Yourself

He answered: "'Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength and with all your mind'; and, 'Love your neighbor as yourself.'" ~ Luke 10:27


Ever notice that before you can truly love your 'neighbor' (and be loved by them), you must first have a healthy love of self.
