What to Believe??
by Ed Hirsch
There is never a good reason for doing the wrong thing.
What you Believe will affect everything you do.
Many people are seeking hard sought answers in life. Some
are looking for financial independence, others peace of
mind, some health and others strong relationships and what
not. We all want to do the right thing but, sometimes,
unfortunately, more often than we'd like to admit, get
steered into the wrong direction by others.
If you don't see or understand the complete picture, it is
not wise to be presumptuous to think that you know the truth
in the matter. The complete picture is your Vision for how
you believe your life was meant to be.
Ideally, you and I develop the ability to have a clear,
vivid VISION of our goals. This is vital to bring them
about. Not only must your goals be written, measurable and
realistic, but you must have a very clear mental picture of
what it is you want to have happen - what you want to
accomplish.
Your intention to make your "WHY you must have your Vision",
will inevitably bring about the necessary changes,
behavioral modifications and general "fail your way to
success" How-To's to keep committed and make it real.
Personal growth plays a huge part too, so continually read
and grow mentally and emotionally as well. Keep the
personal journal.
Journal your Journey. Take 15 minutes a day and record
everything about the process you are involved in. What are
you learning while going after this Goal? Record your
emotions and insights into your behavior and the behavior of
others ... like an autobiography. This provides the
wherewithal, even the basic capacity ... to succeed.
The need to recognize Justice (or what is right) can also be
known as discernment. Oppositely, saying something is not
right can be described as condemnation, or just deciding it
is wrong and not to be followed (when it may be right).
Your Vision, I hope for your sake, is the right thing, as
far as it being Just ... and brings quality and value to
others.
When we expect something from others ... and then they do
not "live up" to our expectation, we tend to condemn them
for not doing OUR expectation. The reason for me mentioning
this is because we definitely need other people in our life
to succeed, and we have to somehow, come together, or create
mutual expectations, i.e. "This is my responsibility / This
is your responsibility (or task or pattern of behavior and
action)."
Whatever you decide, (and Please, DO decide!) ... weigh
things justly, take the appropriate action. If it's the
right thing to do ... do it, if it's not, don't.
If you are not certain, seek wise counsel ... Others who
know how to handle a situation, who have been through it and
have learned by their own trials.
Be enriched with all God has for you and to learn to act
rightly. Act with decisiveness and let the work of your
hand be blessed.
