A Meaningful Specific

Then we will no longer be immature like children.  We won’t be tossed and blown about by every wind of new teaching.  We will not be influenced when people try to trick us with lies so clever they sound like truth. – Ephesians 4:14

Are you easily talked into doing something?  Or easily talked out of doing something?

Do you easily go along with whatever friends, co workers, etc are doing?

Are you easily steered in different directions?

Every day you must begin from the same starting point.

Where in life are you trying to grow?

Where in life are you trying to begin?

What in life do you desire to be more of?  Less of?

Do you give yourself the time to evaluate your life and the desires of your life?  Do you stop, listen and allow God to give you clarity in what He has put into your DNA, your physical, spiritual, psychological makeup?  The gifts He has given you?  Your identity – do you have one?

If we don’t step aside from the constant bouncing around each day like a pinball we will be tossed to and fro without a clear precise purpose. We need a precise purpose that will get us up and going strong each day.

We must be steady, solid, in who we are, what we believe and what we are striving to live for.

Don’t become a wandering generality but focus on being a meaningful specific – Zig Ziglar

To be a meaningful specific we must intentionally take serious time to evaluate what are our core beliefs. What do you truly desire each day to accomplish in all aspects of your life?

Is it to be an encourager?  

To tolerate and understand?

To motivate?  

Inspire?

To teach? 

To be taught?  

To serve? 

To give?  

To be helpful?

To learn?  

To expand in knowledge?  

To study?  

To be healthier spiritually as well as physically? 

What are you willing to do to actualize it?

What are you willing to ignore?  What are you willing to stand up for?

What do you feel compelled to strike out and do, and be?

BE CLEAR

When we identify our lifestyle we won’t be easily lured by fruitless distractions.  And there are an immense amount of them out there dressed up in attractive diversions. Doing things and wasting time with things that aren’t in line with the direction we have been divinely wired to go.  And it leaves us unfulfilled, unsettled, in our spirit and our mind.

God has a purpose in the way, and how, all that you do – at work, home, socially, etc.

Seek it, cultivate it, LIVE it.

 Intentionally, today…..and everyday…. Know you, specifically
