11/6–Discouragement Epidemic—Have you ever gotten sick from a virus?
Discouragement today is of an epidemic proportions! You can give it to others, and watch out, lest you catch it too. You don’t have to seek discouragement, it will seek you out.
But, if it is encouragement you are after, encouragement has to be sought after, hungered for. It is elusive to the “wanna be” people who aren’t serious. It is well worth every effort to the few, faithful who have the determination.
Some caught this disease in their childhood, when someone hinted they may be inferior in some way. They, more than likely, passed it on (unintentionally) to someone else. And the madness goes on and on, from generation to generation. The people who were abused as a child wind up being abusers as adults. Children of alcoholics too often become alcoholics themselves.
Excuses– Another thing that is passed down and around. It is also an epidemic. The road to failure is paved with excuses and good intentions. The world needs less excuses, complainining and explaining.
Explaining in too much detail is not necessary, brevity is so much more desirable. If you are sick with an ailment, it is ok to say you are sick, but do you have to recount every time you coughed, sneezed, scratched, etc? Whining is close kin to compaining and excuses. There ought be a rule that the complainer must pay a fine–say $5 or so per whine. Laugh and the whole world laughs with you, cry and you cry alone.
Your Destiny–don’t let anyone speak to and define your destiny….you are in charge of that. You are special and you are a worthy person. God didn’t make junk, therefore you must be special and specially designed. There is not , and will never be, anyone else like you. Anything that is rare always has a great value (like antiques). If there was only one of an object that was made, it doesn’t matter what the object was, it would be priceless. The chances of you ever being upon this earth was remote, that it had to be God who wanted it to be thus.
