RE: It's Back! Fortune Cookie Fortune
Thanks for this well-written post!
Truth is, I believe God uses an infinite number of ways to get our attention. I take my 'fortune cookie' after a meal seriously. It usually speaks to me on some level, that makes me take note.
Taking a shortcut to not sit in mile-long traffic is worth it. But, I know that's not the shortcut meant in this post.
Regarding Steem/it, I accepted long ago, that the rules are very broad. And, nearly everything goes. Long story short, it results to "follow your conscience."
Sometimes, you have to help those who have no voting power. Otherwise, you will churn out a whole lot of posts with zero 'reward'.
If you're on the platform 12-16 hours a day, whoa...you should seek recompense on some level...jmho...
Lastly, regarding life, I don't believe one can genuinely take shortcuts. Eventually, roadblocks and hurdles will force us to 'pace' and arrive at the designated time.
Best regards.
Peace.
I agree. God can use all kinds of ways to get our attention. This isn't the way I'm used to Him getting mine, but I suppose He can switch it up if He wants to. :) Regardless, I'm definitely thinking about the fortunes I'm getting.
It's more like 10-12 hours a day, but still, I agree, there should be some kind of recompense for being here. And I believe little by little that is happening.
Isn't it amazing how we can try to circumvent certain roadblocks or hurdles only to have them show up again, and probably larger because we didn't try to confront them in the first place? Going through them seems to be the best way. Putting them off only seems to delay the inevitable.
The platform is so full of...let me phrase this delicately...people with a goal to gain profits AT ALL COSTS...that it would be difficult to institute a recompense reward. Of course, any additional earnings would be a mega blessing; but, I think until that surfaces...voting your conscience is wisdom.
Lol…no doubt God is using you to speak to me…
Again, I hear Him echoing some recent reminders of things I did in ‘my convenient time’ instead of obediently finishing projects when He initially called me to. And, as noted, delayed obedience has more negative consequences; than, doing the difficult task straightaway.
Thanks for this reply; certainly timely. And, for sure, God uses every opportunity available in the universe to get our attention, and make HIS WILL known…
Geez, it’s true…Learning is a lifelong journey…gleaning seeds of wisdom to cast forth onto others as authentic knowledge. Of course, a lack of wisdom/knowledge will cause most to learn from hard-gained experience.
Btw, sometimes I will affix my 'fortune' as a reminder. One truism I have kept for a few years is:
YOUR HEALTH IS OF UTMOST IMPORTANCE. (Panda Express)
Best regards.
Peace.
