The Balance

So i'm just thinking: there are vehicles with powerful engines but bad handling while there are others with weak engines but great handling. This partly explains why a great many ghastly accidents involve fast cars with high capacity engines. The Best ones are those that have both powerful engines and great handling. Of what use is a fast car without adequate steering control? It applies to life too; striking a balance is key when it concerns achieving life's goals. we need to have solid sense of direction so that our determination and relentless efforts don't end in disaster. That being said, majority of us pray for the strength to overcome, to succeed, to achieve goals and tasks but we forget that we also need direction. Imagine all that strength going to waste. If God can be so kind as to give us strength then i'm sure there's more where that came from to channel our strength into the right things, the right way. Have you ever noticed that it's easier to achieve goals when they are the right ones than when they are not? just thinking though... Products of a working mind -.Sfe

The inexcusable life

Walking back home from a very hectic day, i have 3 kilometres ahead till i get home and i'm wondering to myself, 'how did i get here? Why don't i have a car?' I keep walking at a slow pace engrossed in my thoughts of what i should have and what i need. Eventually, i get home exhausted, not from the long walk but from the musings of my mind and then pick up my phone to pour out my heart to my love. After speaking to her, i discover that she even had reasons to be more upset and depressed than i was at that time, my "stress" in no way compared to hers and yet she was still unshaken. I end up petting her and hoping she gets enough rest. I end the call, then call another friend, get into bed still upset, drift off to sleep. This morning, i'm walking to work and somewhere inside of me, i hear a voice, 'you can walk briskly, you are alive, you have no disease and yet you complain. Are there not others that don't have half of what you have and yet they achieve greatness?' I am suddenly ashamed of my ingratitude and silently apologise to God. Then the thought comes to me: all i need to be great in life is life itself. God has given me the base ingredient and so i have no excuse not to be great. At this point, my mind is free of depression and i walk in a new strength of livelihood and greet my colleagues at work with a smile. This is a lesson to us all, we are blessed with all we ever need, life. We are what we make of ourselves so, get up and make something of yourself. Greatness becomes us, take responsibility for the life you've been given. Thank you Jesus for life.
