Enough Rope?
by Ed Hirsch
I believe that God gives us each just enough rope to hangourselves. In addition, He provides us the choice whetherto do so or not.
We are all responsible for what we already know. I knowthat YOU are a responsible individual in your own right andI want to share this concept with you as well ... You arealso responsible for what you ARE ABLE to know.
All of us need to guard ourselves against over-indulgence.One of Benjamin Franklin's 13 Governing Values was*Temperance* ... "Eat Not to dullness; drink not toelevation." It can be applied in your life very simply byfocusing on the balance you need to achieve to create thelife of your dreams. How many of you sleep too much, watchexcessive TV or spend wasted hours doing things which do notmove you closer to your exciting destiny?
When we find ourselves with desires or temptations, why notask If we have to follow them? Don't Do It.
Find ways to show the love in your heart and to share thecare you possess (own) for others.
Get out of your own way. Help others to look for the lightin the world. Be that example yourself.
We all need to be in preparation for what will take place inour life. I learned many years ago that "We fight the Waywe Train." What are you doing today to prepare?
If your future is not already a completed jigsaw puzzle inliving color in your mind's eye, your future is VERYuncertain.
When your Life plan is not clear, you simply do not knowwhat to do.
Not Good ... no specific action steps to follow!
As you choose, or are led to Life purpose, your time, andwhat you do with it, becomes of utmost significance.
Hope for the future requires daily responsibilities as we goabout the week. Our current circumstance IS importantbecause it is a beginning point for change OR (adversely) aplatform for more of the same.

The reality-check question to think about is "Are YouWilling To Change With or Without the Support of others inyour Life?" They all will not support you, some will,others will just tighten the noose around your neck.
Cut the noose off from the Gallows pole, and be free tojoin a world where there are NO limitations, just a world ofpossibilities to explore.
