Work For It

You don't get what you wish for. You get what you work for.

Reflection

A great exercise to inventory the “work” you put forth each day is to answer these four questions before retiring at night:

  1. Did I fulfill my purpose today?
  2. Did I grow as a human being today?
  3. Did I plant seeds of hope in someone else’s life today?
  4. Did I add value to the world today?

 

The world does not get better from your wishes, it gets better from your work.

Ephesians 4:28, “Let the thief no longer steal, but rather let him labor, doing honest work with his own hands, so that he may have something to share with anyone in need.”

AFFIRM YOUR P.E.A.C.E.

Plan – A dream remains a dream until you write it down. Putting your dream or goal in writing is the first step in creating a PLAN to achieve it. When you fail to plan, you plan to fail.

Effort – Turning your dream/goal into reality requires a commitment to putting forth consistent and focused EFFORT toward executing your plan. Nothing great in life happens without working hard.

Attitude – The chances of achieving your dream increase exponentially if you believe you will achieve it. Remember that your ATTITUDE determines your altitude in all areas of your life.

Community – Nothing great in life happens by doing it alone. The chances of achieving your dream expand as your COMMUNITY of positive mentors and coaches expand. You become the average of the five people you spend the most time with–and yes, spending time with “people” through books and instructional videos factors into your “average.”

Energy – Chasing and achieving your dream requires optimal mental, physical, and spiritual ENERGY. So put your dream in God’s hands and nurture your mental and physical being.
