I read a great editorial by Janice Gilmore yesterday titled “Make the most of your days on Earth”. I wanna share a short exceprt, I hope this is encouraging to you who give it all for your business whether it’s coaching, teaching, training, speaking, whatever. This excerpt talks about how we can affect children but I think it applies to everyone with whom our lives intersect. Readers, you are leaving a mark in the world and the work you’re doing is important. Be encouraged!
Long after we are gone, the effect of spending time and helping children to shape postive values lives on. A relative, friend, pastor, teacher or mentor can have an immeasurable effect on a child. God didn’t put us on this Earth to be stressed, miserable and weary. He gave us a guide, the Bible, to help us to use our time wisely and live a joy-filled life. Each day is a new opportunity to enjoy life to the fullest. When hearing how many days we have on Earth, it makes us realize we must purge things in our lives like we do our closets. Getting rid of useless clothes and worn-out shoes can leave us room for worthy things. When we touch other people’s lives positively and use our time for good, the days on this Earth may be few, but oh so mighty!
