do more of what you should do... ...than avoiding what you shouldn't do!


do more of what you should do...
...than avoiding what you shouldn't do!

Why do I say that?
It is simple really...

Most people have some area of their lives they are not happy with.
Some have a list of areas.
And when a new year starts most people think it is time to re-evaluate life. Even to make some changes.
Sometimes they label these plans with the word 'resolution'.
That seems to make it more official somehow?

Now I am not going to bore you with stats on the success and failure rates of these plans.
You know from your own experience that most don't succeed.
And I think the reason is simple.
If you focus on what you don't think you shouldn't do all the time you seem to end up doing it.
If you focus on what you should do, then I think you have a better chance of success.

Jesus said to do 2 things before anything else...
Love God & Love Others.

If you think you need to loose a few kilos...
Focus on God first and others second.
If you need to feel better about yourself...
Focus on God first and others second.
If you want to get closer to God instead of being distracted...
Focus on God first and others second.
If you would like someone special in your life that you don't have right now...
Well you should get the idea by now!

I think that it is about squeezing out what you don't want or like with something far better...
God promises to help us with everything, if we would just do the 2 best things.

Something to think about...
