DROP THE BONE
A few hours ago, I received this message from a friend, and I thought it wise to share. You May please share with your loved ones. Have a wonderful 2018.
A dog has taught me an important lesson in this encounter.
I was in a car commuting from home to my daily errands. The car was speeding at about 80km per hour.
Suddenly, I saw a dog running so fast trying to overtake the car so that it could cross the road.
I was frightened that the car would overrun the dog. I was praying that the dog would increase its speed and cross the road safely. The car was fast approaching the dog.
Then, I saw the dog suddenly increase its speed and was able to cross the road successful.
Pheew, I sighed, thanking God it wasn’t hit by the car.
But, there is something I noticed that fell off before the dog suddenly increased its speed.
I asked the driver, could you please reverse. I need to see what fell off.
When I saw what fell off, one of the greatest lessons sunk into my thick skull.
The dog let go of the BONE.
It was that SIMPLE, it reached a point where the dog had to let go of the bone in order to gain speed and save its life.
Men, the dog is SMART… I thought.
What’s the LESSON?
Let go of the bone.
There are bones we have held onto in 2017.
If we succeed to let go of the 2017 ‘BONES’, then we will do wonders in 2018 and years beyond.
There are so many types of bones which for sure have held us back.
Let’s make the painful decision of letting go of the bone. Let’s not cross over 2017 with our BONES.
Let’s drop them immediately.
-Procrastination is a Bone.
-Lack of focus on your biz is a Bone.
-Depending on your successline to run all your biz for you is a Bone.
- Failure to seek new thoughts or new ways of doing things is a BONE
- Doing things in the same unsuccessful manner, year in year out is a BONE
- Thinking that money alone is the source of your happiness; that’s the HARDEST BONE
- Going to work late and acting irresponsibly over your biz is a BONE.
- Not worshiping God, be it in a CHURCH or MOSQUE; that’s a tricky bone, even the hyena cannot handle.
- Watching our friends fail; yet we could have helped them succeed…BONE
These are only few examples, the list is endless.
Let’s drop the BONE, so that we have a prosperous 2018 and years ahead.
Please tell all your friends and your loved ones to drop the BONE.
Bones lag us behind from reaching our God-destined potential.
Happy New Year 2018. God bless you abundantly.
