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.
