“Being right…Having rights and know what is right. Is only as good as you knowing the difference.” Carol Sligh
According to an article written by Ben Hooper a UPI.com oddnews
An Australian woman purchased a lottery ticket and carried it around for a month.
Apparently, unbeknownst to her, she possessed a winning lottery ticket with a jackpot worth more than $1 million dollars and didn’t even know it.
Now this story had a good ending because she eventually did something….she cashed in the ticket, but I am sure for some the ending is not always good.
Which brings me to my question. What is it you possess or what is it you are DISCOUNTING that God would love to use.
Remember “DIS..counting” is to diminish in value. “To be counted” is take into account; include…IT IS TO ACKNOWLEDGE AS SIGNIFICANT.
Maybe a better question is..what is your gift. What is your purpose? If you know, are you using it to it’s full potential or your ability?
Sure none of us have arrived. We all have room for growth. But it was Zig Ziglar who explained it so well…. “You don’t have to be great to start, but you have to start to be great.”
Remember, life really isn’t a competition at just competing with others, as much as it is contributing to others.
Challenge yourself to be your best….your race, your competition is with yourself NEVER others.
What am I saying…. The “YOU of tomorrow”, should have IMPROVED from the “you of yesterday.”
It should improve…. even if it is 1 percent a month, week or year. Every percent is progress. IT MATTERS.
1 Corinthians 12:16 says “If the ear should say, because I am not an eye, I do not belong to the body, it would not for that reason stop being part of the body. If the whole body were an eye, where would the sense of hearing be? If the whole body were an ear, where would the sense of smell be? But in fact God has placed the parts in the body, every one of them, just as he wanted them to be. (Amended)
You never have to compare yourselves in a negative fashion to others. In other words, I am not advocating that you should never use others as a role model, or you identify assets which others carry, in an effort to develop yours..that is totally different and healthy.
What I want you to know is what you carry…. your purpose….your gift….HAS VALUE.
You bring something to the table and yes…you have a place.
Remember this…it is not only good to know you are right…but recognize your rights and know how to exercise them.
Satan would love for you to give up and play dead.
Being different is no longer to be viewed as discounted, or greeted with the consequences of indifference.
It is time for you to be accountable for how you can contribute and make society BETTER.
What you thought to be a weakness, you should now see as a strength. A strength you can share with society and the entire body at your job, in your home, with your family, amongst your friends and this universe.
As always stay true to yourself. Love, Carol.
