STOP FOOLING YOURSELF

I thought you wanted to be financially independent, owing no one and having reserves for unforeseen circumstances…..and yet you buy impulsively spending more than you earn, you have no saving or investment plan, you have fallen into the temptation to desire more, reach for more, and buy more to feed a false created impression of yourself. Who are trying to deceive?

I thought you wanted to manage your time…and yet you sleep late engrossed in movies and wake up late, toss and turn in bed, waste time changing channels by the television, gallivant aimlessly following friends, gossiping instead of discussing ideas. I’m sure you know what you are doing

I thought you wanted a better life for yourself…. and yet destroy your mind with impure thoughts, destroy your heart with unexpressed emotions, destroy your body with unhealthy foods and inadequate exercise.. Yeah, I get it you want a better life.

I thought you wanted your dreams fulfilled…and yet you have no detailed plan on paper, no reading or learning plan and have no standards, you have no morals and you are walking in the borrowed image of career prominence.

I thought you wanted to be a light to the world….and yet you spend more time reading novels and magazines than the bible. All your memory verses are the familiar ones everyone can quote them. Fasting and prayers are out of the deal for you. You have found all the medical excuses not to fast.  To you it is reserved for some “ojacious” few. Your prayers are short, repetitive and lack biblical backing. Light of the world. Really?

Well stop fooling yourself…because “We first make our habits, and then our habits make us.” - John Dryden and In the words of John C Maxwell  “We cannot live in a way that is inconsistent with our expectation for ourselves.”
