Ever watch the show Deal or No Deal? I am absolutely amazed at the contestants on that show at times. They come on with simple dreams: paying off their house, buying a house, paying for college, paying for their children's college, etc. During the course of the game, they will get offers from the banker, and some of those offers are more than adequate to accomplish what they say they really want. Yet, greed will set in and they will press their luck and leave with less than they were offered.
We see this in other areas as well. Someone will sacrifice what they really want for the joy of the moment, for the excitement of the minute, for the flavor of the month. It seems that we lose sight of the big thing for the present thing.
Today's word is just a saying that I really like. It says, "NEVER give up what you want the most for what you think you want right now."
So often, it seems, that we will compromise our greatest desires for a fleeting moment. I know it is difficult waiting. Ask anyone that knows me; they will tell you that I am not a patient person. However, I try to always take a big picture approach. I try to remember that what I see today may be enticing but it isn't what I want the most. Let's keep our eyes on the things we want the most, and never lose sight of it.
Be Blessed,
Mickey T
