Where are you putting your time? "Do not be overly righteous, nor be overly wise. Why be self- destructive?" Ecclesiastes 7:16 -International Standard Version.
Went for a walk today at the mall. I went with the intention of praying for someone. When I got there I saw a couple. I believe it was a mom and son. I would have liked to talk to them, but I chickened out. I decided I will wait until they go back around. Well, by the time I saw them again they were walking out. Timing is so crucial. I also had another opportunity later in a different situation to hold my tongue and NOT say something, but rather than waiting I spit it out not knowing if I should have said what I said in a different circumstance. Time will play out and I will later tell you if the second decision was best, but I realize they were both risks. One not saying something without knowing the outcome and the other saying something and wondering if I should have waited. The risk should be worth going for regardless of defeat or success, because from what I've been told failure breeds success. We can always grow. We can always learn and we will always know what NOT to do for the next time as long as we reflect on our past mistakes. We remain healthy as long as we don't dwell there, but rather reflect and decide what could have been done differently. We only have so much time on this earth. We are not guaranteed tomorrow. So, make the most of it while it is yet today!
