Choose wisely...


Yesterday’s sermon is still on my mind: there’s more than one way to get ahead and it’s important to choose the right path. First,  find something you like: it’s easiest to excel when you love what you’re doing.  Second, make it something you’re good at: try different things to see if you have the aptitude and the attitude. Third, put your heart and soul into it: give it your all and don’t look back. And fourth, act with integrity: be honest and principled. There will always be shinier objects that might look attractive, but, to paraphrase an old Latin proverb, it only seems like the grass is greener on the other side of the road.  Your goal: do what’s best for you without losing what’s best in you. Be true and truthful – understand what’s good for you and make it good for the others your work and deal with. Be wise in your choices, and they’ll reward you appropriately. Be true to your values and beliefs, and let them guide you on your path. Wisely find your best path today.
