Be Great IV
...continued... from part 1 and part 2 and part 3
5. Greatness is choosing your battles and knowing what to walk away from.
You know when you know you have a lot at stake, you won't put your hands on so many unnecessary fights or battles. Walking away from unnecessary stress is not weakness but strength, weighing the costs of each action.
If you want to really be great, you need to learn how to walk away from situations that adds no value and that only add more pain. You need to choose your battles carefully.
You can live with losing the good fight but you cannot live with not fighting it.
Whatever it is that you are wrestling with or that is coming your way, always remind yourself that this is just a phase and this is not your place. It will pass. Focus more on your end game than your temporary discomfort and the only way to embrace the future is to release the past.
6. Greatness means not changing your confession.
In a world where we are lead by the things we see and also forced to make decisions by our emotions, we need to learn to hold on to what we believe to be true based on the things we have experienced. No matter the situation, don't change your confession. It might not be looking like it but see things from the eyes of faith.
2 Kings 4:23 and 26 (KJV):
23 - And he said, Wherefore wilt thou go to him to day? it is neither new moon, nor sabbath. And she said, It shall be well.
26 - Run now, I pray thee, to meet her, and say unto her, Is it well with thee? is it well with thy husband? is it well with the child? And she answered, It is well:
Stay positive even though things are negative. Don't change your position and your disposition because that will eventually change the situation. Let the weak say I am strong and the poor say I am rich. When you say it long enough, your faith will be stirred up.
...THE END.
Thank you for your time.
