Practice...

On a different note,

The term practice makes perfect seems to be one of those statements that carries as much value as a speed limit sign... almost a suggestion, or matter of fact weight of importance. When the reality is, we must practice, create new habits, and/or patterns in our life. Things just don't magically happen for no reason... We must make conscious decisions, choices and then enact them in our lives... leaving room & time for them to be come the NEW Norm in our lives!
Think about it... we ALL have certain areas of our life that could use some focus, effort and refreshing! How many are GREAT listeners? or Great at lifting others up? Or are being a servant at heart? Maybe it's just the things of worth that take the effort to increase our ability to accomplish these things... As an example, we know we are are not going to see any physical changes unless we commit to working out every week, eating right, and making conscious choices in this regard. So, practice is needed in ALL areas we deem important... Does that mean the practice part isn't the issue, but the choosing of values?
I often speak of self analysis & evaluation... the prioritizing of our lives... validating values, priorities, and short comings... WE must be in constant tune with our daily lives... We are all growing til the day we pass on... But I guess that means we'd also have to care about being a better person! Ouch!
Unfortunately, some don't have aspirations of being increased, or having any type of impact in the world they live... or at least not a Positive impact! To be a person of influence in this world, you must make conscious choices, decision, and sacrifices in order to be one who paves the way. So, if we are only self serving or not concerned with the people around us, why would we want to leave a bigger footprint in the sand?
For those of us who DO desire to instill the ideal of LOVE to the world we live, We must spend the time to increase, grow, and practice the values we so often speak of. We must train ourselves to emulate the One We seek, and allow His reflection to become Our NEW way of living! NO Easy task to say the least... BUT, with His intercession, our focus, and daily practice these things Will become our normal more of operation!
Practice at being the person You desire to be... Gonna take time... but we gotta start some where!! Give your self grace in the effort, and seek Intercession on a higher level!!

Good day & God Bless,
Chris
