This gift of life is yours to make the most of it, will you?

Today on the show I am going to go into the process that creates a life.
How about that for a topic.

Everything comes with a manual.
Most people don't use them but hey they are there anyway.
Just in case, right?

 

So...

I talk about navigating the human condition, what do I mean?
I also talk about coming to terms with the purpose of life, again what do I mean?

Lets go deeper on these two things and bring some clarity to them.

 

Preparation

The preparations of the heart in man, and the answer of the tongue, is from the Lord.

Proverbs 16:1

 

The reality is this.

People are not that well prepared for life and it shows.
The generation coming along proves this so readily. They think that the unicorns are going to sprinkle jobs all around them.
They think that a politician who promises them the rainbow can actually deliver it!!

 

Mankind is in an altered state from his original condition.
This altered state alienates him from his Creator.
Without a change that is required on the inside the man is always at odds with himself ultimately.
Mankind cannot prepare for life properly without this change.

 

Perception

The wise man's eyes are in his head; bu the fool walketh in darkness: and I myself perceived also that one event happeneth to them all.
Ecclesiastes 3:22

 

Reality is something entirely different to experience most people live with.
Nothing is going to alter that perception like the Unknown Book, nothing.
But how to bring that change?
We see more than we let on we see. It's what we don't want to see if you know what I mean.

 

 

Performance

Now therefore perform the doing of it: that as there was a readiness to will, so there may be a performance also out of that which ye have.

2 Corinthians 8:11

 

The human condition is fraught with self doubt, fear, insecurity, lovelessness and more.
This condition is also full of joy, happiness, laughter, love, life and living.

Being able to perform, do things well, takes the practice of the serious. Life for too many is just haphazard: and this shows.
The accidental life is more common than the disicplined and prepared one.
But you get to choose more than you think you do.

 

Here is what I am aiming at today.

When you live your life you are dominated by these three stepping stones.
In fact when you look at the results you are chasing in your life the results are shaped and controlled by the way in which you pass over these stepping stones.

 

Preparing for life takes more than getting out of bed.
Work is involved at all and every stage of your development.

 

Perceptions of life are shaped by every stage of the work in your development.
How you see things after putting the years and the hard yards into something.
You learn the life lessons, and you make the adjustments.

 

Performance is a direct result of the preparations and the insights that come from the trials, trainings, learnings whateve it is that shapes you into the person you become. You can't fake a response, you just can't. You can try, but it is so obvious when it happens to us.
This is the problem with life, no hiding places except behind falsehood.
