The Truth That Heals

Ladies and Gentlemen,

I was once again doing my morning cardio, a la the Rocky Balboa Soundtrack, when it hit me:

"Truth" is how things work - the reality of all creation (including yourself and your goals) as it is set up to work.

To abide in the Truth, is really your only option...I mean, why would you do what doesn't work for the better? I'm talking big picture, long term, here.

So, in understanding how things work, you are able to put order where there is currently chaos in your life.
To heal, is to make whole and right. Fixing the broken parts, lubricating the friction, re-aligning the disorder, so that the best case scenario unfolds, one baby step at a time.

The key is to be inspired in the micro millimeters, knowing you are heading in the right direction. More on that in another post.

I have come to realize in recent times, that it is possible to survive without structure and routine...but it is IMPOSSIBLE to thrive, abound, and be effective. The former requires basic instinct and scrounging to be efficient; the latter requires intentionality and trust in the growth process.

So then, in all your striving and ambition in a days time, take stock of your beliefs, habits, thoughts, and activities that you choose to engage or fail to engage, and what the collective net sum is doing to your life.

Where will 'that' take you in 10 years? 30 years? Is it the legacy you want? If not, and you realize you've been doing it wrong for the last 10 years...I don't suggest another 10 ;)

There is always a better way. Always. That is not meant to discourage, it is meant to encourage you in that you are never done - but why not see how far you can go?

Live sustainably and effectively, and keep pointed in the right direction.

You always have choice, whether you feel like it or not. And, if you have a hard time being consistent with choosing the right thing- get help. Get a trainer, get a coach, see a counselor or pastor, and see what happens.

Keep looking for the better way, remember that ideal is a direction - not an immediate expectation, and do what you can with what you have, today.

Amen?

Strength and Honor,

JG
