WHAT WORKS WHEN EVERYTHING ELSE DOES NOT

Have you ever gotten to the point where it seems everything simply does not work? Maybe you see Tom next door doing good and you hear Daisy is flying high but you appear to be stuck in a rut. Or do you turn on the TV and see peeps who do not care which name honesty bears thriving and being celebrated? And you begin to wonder if honesty and being good can ultimately really bring you to the point of your desires. It has even become a norm in many quarters that you must succeed no matter how you get there or make that happen, after all "the end justifies the means." Then you need to know this:

Do you know that man cannot manufacture clay? It is a product of nature. You just meet it there in shapes that more often than not leaves little to be admired. Such is life. You did not create it, you just woke up to see you are here and sometimes it is not always a beautiful reception you get. But like clay, you have to sit when it is early enough in the day, wet your hands and produce what you want to see. It is not automatic mind you, but you have to have faith in your hands and mind, and you have to not be someone who gives up easily because you do not always get it at first try. And mind you, you have to start early enough or you have the sun to harden whatever you have whether done or not. Such is life.

You did not form the clay, nor did you create the sun, those two I will liken to life and your detractors. You do not have much power over the two, and for the detractors, they will always be there, you have to be the one to manage them the way you want. And there are two things that helps a porter, FAITH AND PERSISTENCE. These two will not leave you stranded in the long run if you are honest with them. And either ways, you need it. Either you want to do good or you want to do bad, these tools will be there to attend to you. But why do bad instead of doing good when you can avoid having conscience issues or hurting someone else unnecessarily for your desires? Moreso, the two takes the same channel, one just appears to be faster than the other, but the truth is that both are always close by, the extent of your faith and persistence determines how far you are from them.

So, does it appear as if nothing works? Are you considering ditching being good for being bad? Or are you doing bad because you feel good's paycheck appear late? Remember the porter and his clay and remember that as you work hard with FAITH AND PERSISTENCE, you will get to the point of your dreams so do not go bad.

Good morning.
