A Monday morning question for you:
If you want a plant to grow, you can fuss over it every day—watering, weeding, moving it toward the sun. Or you can place it in the right soil and let nature do most of the work. A seed planted in the right spot often thrives on its own. Life is much the same. Progress is not only about how hard you work, but also about where you decide to work.
Where is your energy better spent right now: pushing harder or planting yourself in better ground?
Your team will either help you succeed or fast-track your failure. No matter how good you are or what good intentions you have. Your environment can make or mar your future. Facts.
It’s hard to process but hey - everybody suffers whether they like it or not. Both the deserving and undeserving. The same way rain falls on everyone. You’re no different.
But what perspective would serve you better - a purpose for the pain or being defeated by it.
There’s something about painful lessons. It presents a gift of unapologetic conviction.
Some call it hard lessons, hard truth, whatever you want to call it.
There’re moments life will test you.
When people say they’re spiritual, not religious, I like to follow up and ask - which spirit are you practicing?
Let’s be clear on the Holy Spirit and that Jesus is your personal Lord and savior, not you just trying to be woke.
