Major Life Questions — Part 1
Do we spend enough time to give these sufficient thought?
Due to incessant bombardment of information, plus our being fully immersed in everyday concerns, we rarely step back to see things in perspective. Please give each of these some serious consideration:
Would you like to be a happier person?
Would you like to be a healthier person?
Would you like to be a more financially successful person?
Would you like to have better relationships?
Would you like to feel more fulfilled?
Would you like to better manage your time?
Would you like to have more satisfying employment?
Would you like to increase your chances of saving your soul?
Reflexively, you may be inclined to answer yes — but do NOT answer yes to any of these unless you are seriously committed to making it happen.
———————————————————
What if there was ONE simple, free solution to bringing about ALL of these? !!
The “catch” is that it takes focused commitment on your part.
Tomorrow there is free lunch, not today.
The Bottom Line —
How much effort are you willing to expend to make ALL these happen?
Post your answer to that question below, plus make a guess as to the answer.

I see no one wants to answer. Chris, bless him, cannot leave his lawyerly wordiness that still did not answer the questions. So here goes:
Would you like to be a happier person? Yes, I work on it each day trying to focus on others and not self. It doesn’t always work.
Would you like to be a healthier person? Yes. In a wellness program currently to improve my health through eating well, avoiding pharmaceuticals, increasing exercise.
Would you like to be a more financially successful person? Yes, still working and 70 is looming. Love spending on the grands, I’ll never be rich in $ but always in love for family.
Would you like to have better relationships? Yes, I try to see both sides of any relationship. Sometimes I over analyze.
Would you like to feel more fulfilled? I feel fulfilled already.
Would you like to better manage your time? That’s a stumper. I’d like to increase my motivation to use all of my time well. I’d that the same thing? Sometimes I just like being lazy.
Would you like to have more satisfying employment? I’m in my dream job. Nursing which provides a great deal of the fulfillment I feel.
Would you like to increase your chances of saving your soul? My soul is safe with Jesus. I try to serve Him well at every opportunity. I thank Him for his mercy and grace, often!
I penned an indirect response in my first comment, but here is my direct answer from the witness stand: I am happy in what I do and how I approach life. I enjoy sufficiency without excess. I apply critical thinking to resolve problems. However in problems which effect others I endeavor to temper my reason with compassion. For me, injury is simply a characterization of change that we don't like. I hold to the thought espoused by Marcus Aurelius, Roman emperor and philosopher: 'Let go of your sense of injury and the injury will disappear.' Or words to that effect.
