Making a living or making a life?



Do you know you are richer than 93% of people? Not in money but in time. Now study shows that 108 billion people have lived throughout history. 93% of them are dead. You have what every king and queen, every pharaoh and ruler every CEO and celebrity of the past would give all their wealth for: Today
The question is how you wish to spend your time today? How are you planning to build your life today? Winston Churchill puts this in his words, “We make a living by what we get but we make a life by what we give.”. In other words, are you willing to consciously influence people whom you would meet and leave a positive impression? Or you are among the group who confess, “I am too busy for myself and I don’t intend to think in those lines". Actually, this is not true completely. We all leave either a positive or negative influence consciously or unconsciously.
“Sociologist, Tim Elmore tell us, that even the most introverted individual will influence 10,000 people in his/her life time”.  Since this is a proven fact, don’t you think it will be better if we try to leave a positive impression consciously than leaving a negative impression in abundance. You cannot be selective in your operation. The effect of impact we create or leave with others outside would have an effect in our homes too. Gandhiji rightly said, “One man cannot do right in one department of life, whilst he is doing wrong in any other department. Life is indivisible whole.”.
The Bible records the words of Jesus, and it goes like this, “A good tree can’t produce bad fruit; neither can a bad tree produce good fruit.”. To bear good fruit you need to be rooted in the source of a good God who is not only right when you are right but right even when you are wrong, and more importantly He has the capacity to transform you to be a good person who spreads the goodness to others at large. Connect with this divine source and be transformed to be a person who gives life to others.
