There are a lot of things that we can considered as fun. I tell my son all the time that if you are having fun and then I find out about it and then,  all of a sudden its not fun anymore, then it was never fun in the first place. We must not confuse what feels good with having fun. If the end result of our behavior is unpleasant but felt like fun when we started, then we have deceived ourselves.

Rhon Johnson

To have fun is to enjoy the fruit of the behavior.

Rhon Johnson (1966 –     )

Do you really want it that bad? When you finally get it, will it be worth it?

Power Quote:

Lusting after things takes you where you don’t want to go, makes you stay longer than you can afford to stay , and makes you pay more than you can afford to pay.

I know that there are many of us that have dreams that we want to see manifest in our lives. But the problem is the time that we spend doing other things, such as going to work so that the bills can get paid. It can become awfully frustrating to know that you could be doing something better with life rather than punching someone else’s clock. Then we have to rest ourselves from all the work we have done to make other people and other companies prosperous. Not to mention what we do to take care of our families outside bringing home a pay check. Don’t get me wrong, there is nothing wrong with working to provide for your family, but if you have a dream or a vision, you will have to take some radical steps to see it come to past. Here is one thought to get you moving in the right direction. Some of us that are actively pursusing our dreams are giving up about eight hours of sleep a week to dedicate that time to working on what belongs to them. Continuing to do the same old thing with hopes of a better life is simply pure grade insanity.

Scripture Reference:

Pobverbs 6:10-11

Yet a little sleep, a little slumber, a little folding of the hands to sleep: So shall your poverty come as a robber, and your want as an armed man.

Where do you live life? Many of us are not being real about what is going on in our lives. It’s like that pink elephant sitting in the middle of the living room. Everyone can see it but no one pays it any attention because no one really wants to deal with it. That’s not reality. I know it’s tough to face the music of our lives, but sooner or later we are going to have to get real about the pink elephants in our lives.

Power Quote:

The difference between life as it is and life as it ought to be is a frightening and distressing bit of reality.

James C. Dobson  (1936-       )

Seems like everybody wants to give their opinion on something. Most of the time when we do so, we have very little information concerning the subject matter. Most of the time, we are just trying to show that we know somethings which in turn gives us a false sense of confidence. I’ve been guilty of opening my mouth when I didnt know what I was talking about. In the end that fact was clear. Best case is not to give your opinion unless someone ask you, and even then, be slow to speak.

Proverbs 17:28

Even a fool, when he holds his peace, is considered wise; When he shuts his lips, he is esteemed as prudent.

Today as we go about our business, we should all take a little time to recognize all the children that cross our path. Some of them will go home to great environments, but many of them won’t. There is no greater investment other than the ones we invest in our children. I’m not just referring to our own children, but also the ones that make up our community. There are thousands of children that would do a lot better in life if someone would just give them some appropriate attention. It happened that way for me. During my teenage years, one man thought enough of me to pay me some attention. One summer he picked me up five days a week to take me to the high school gym where he coached. As a result,I became an All State Basketball Player and went on to have a good career in college as well. I am now an Author and a teacher. With no father at home, who knows where I would have ended up if he would not have payed me that attention. Invest in your community and future by giving some time and attention to a kid.
