Who Says?

You started the year off being grateful that you were allowed to see a new year. I know you did, and so did I. Most of us, at least in our minds resolved to be a better or more positive person in the coming year. Let's continue that thought or intention by putting an active foot forward toward being positive. It costs you nothing that you need, anyway, and will gain you a lot.

What Is Your Life?

I told you yesterday, and I will say it again

Whatever you practice day in and day out

Will be what you do best and will

End up being what your life is about!

So, do you want to be known as a Negative Nellie

Or a Positive Polly for the choice is up to you

But remember that the books are open

And a record is being kept of everything you do.

Thus in 2018, if you really mean to change

Start by silencing the naysayer that might lurk within

By causing positive things to be recorded in the

In the Book of the Life of you, fellowman.

Who Said It Could Not Be Done

To Those Trying: When somebody says it can't be done

The thing to do is to do it

Because if you are driven from within to do a thing

Then the Driving Force within you will see you thru it.

When Nehemiah was to build the wall

There were naysayers aplenty

Nehemiah didn't listen to the voice of the enemy

And neither did Moses when confronted with the Red Sea

And both of those stories are a part of Biblical history.

Why do naysayers say "nay" so much is what I wonder

Why be bothered with someone else's attempts at all

Either a thing will succeed, or it will fall

Why not wait and see before uttering a failure's call?

Could it be that they see in those who are trying a

Spark of something that they wish they had

Could it be that they think that a person just might succeed

And by doing so, make them look bad?

 

To Naysayers: Well, take a word of advice from a well-meaning soul

Stop naysaying that person who is trying to orchestrate

A meaningful accomplishment for the betterment of man

Instead, what if you were to find yourself a worthwhile goal

To do something to make a difference

And you find that you, with certainty, can.

Remember that Moses nor Nehemiah heeded the naysayers

But, instead counted on GOD to deliver victory when due

For they knew that they had a powerful GOD

WHO always came through.

 

What Is Being Said to You Today?

• Don't impede progress, make some.


• Be all and do all for the good that you can for the sake of your fellowman.


• When you do positive things for your fellowman, it comes back to you in much larger amounts than you put out. Remember, we reap what we sow. Imagine having a harvest of a plentiful crop of good deeds. How great would that be? Hmm-m... I know, you would be like, "I'll take it!," and so would I.

Be blessed.
