Being and Doing

Is what I am doing what I am being or becoming?

We humans are pretty easy to train. We get an idea in our mind and then think about it and eventually we’ll act about it if we think it long enough.

The ‘be’ generally comes before the ‘do’. When we want to change something in our life, we think how/who we want to be and then begin to do who we want to be. It can take a lot of thinking and pondering to get it into our head that we can become what we want to become, but we are trainable. We think the thought – make the plan – get a vision. Then begin to act on the thought.

It’s like learning to read. We see the letter, hear how it’s pronounced, then we practice pronouncing. In time and after practice, we become a reader, and the more we practice and read the stronger we become in learning new words and reading.

As we ‘be’ in our minds and hearts what we want to ‘do’ in our lives, then before long we’ll be doing what we want to be, and we’ll become what we wanted to do.

New to New to New

We’re not going to be stuck in our old. Everyday is new!

Every morning when we wake up, there is a new frontier ahead of us …waiting for us to claim! To explore, conquer, tame, build upon, improve, develop…

The past, your past, my past is over and we have today to look at. How do we want to see it? It’s only a thought away from what we want to let it become.

No one, absolutely on one can hold us to our past. We are free to break from it any time we choose.

Begin this morning to think and plan a new way of living, something very fulfilling.

There are no strings attached to your past. Yes, we may have some things to deal with, but the past is over and we have new choices to make, exciting times to think and plan.

The words on the chalkboard from your past have been erased. It is waiting for you to write new words about yourself.

‘I could never do that! You don’t know my past!’ BUT everyone has a past filled with possible regrets because we are all human! BUT GOD gives us the opportunity each and every day to begin again and start with a new slate, and tomorrow with another new slate and the next day with a fresh one yet again!

God has given us the choice to choose life. No one can take it from us, me or you!

Look ahead to your new day. Begin moving forward. There will be up hills and down hills, but momentum is gained with every step.

Don’t turn back or stay stuck in the camp.

It’s onward today, to the new, to the new, to the new!!!

What is my first step today?
