Sow what?

I have had this strange theme in my life for the past 72 hours, or so, of "reaping what you sow".

That's a phrase I've never used. I understand its meaning. It's just not something I have ever really said. I did so for the first time today because it appears to fit in with all of the recent changes in my world.

I went with a friend to the First Baptist church in Woodstock on Saturday for a Men's conference. It was VERY new and interesting and a great learning experience. Anyway, the pastor there spoke about decisions and he said something I had never heard before. Essentially, he said that you spend your life making decisions to grow and enhance your life and intelligence and, yet, ONE poor one can make you stupid.

Think about it, everything you have worked to build can be destroyed because you cheat on a spouse, steal from a company, or lie to close confidant. One single error in judgement and everything can change. Reap what you sow.

So, as I watch and see many of the people that have wronged me suffering, at just about any other time in my life, I would have reveled in their misery.

But today, I recognize the hypocrisy in that concept so all I can do is focus on my own future and prevent myself from being where I have been recently, ever again.

Each day something has happened that helps to pave tomorrow. I've committed myself to making each day better and in 2012 it's ABSOLUTELY working.

I'm sowing every day. And recently, I have begun to reap...

It's pretty cool.
