You are what you are

I have some people really close to me that seem to mired in the same things all the time: bad relationships, poor finances, "bad luck". Some of them and I have had fairly lengthy and deep discussions concerning these seemingly constant occurrences. Their reply is that they don't know why the same things keep happening. I am prone to say because you keep doing the same thing.

You know, if you keep doing the same things, you'll keep getting the same results. If you keep breaking up with a certain type of person and, then, start dating a similar type of person, the chances of the relationship ending the way the previous one did is quite high. You gotta make better decisions to get better results.

Today's word is a quote from Tony Gaskins that says, "You attract what you ARE, not what you WANT. So, if you WANT it, REFLECT it."

If you want a better person, then, reflect the type person you want. If you want someone that doesn't drink and stay out all night, then, don't drink and stay out all night. If you want to have some money in the bank, then, you have to reflect a saver. You can't be something other than what you ARE. If you want something different, you have to reflect something different.

I have no particular reason for today's post, just wanting to remind us all that you are what you are. If we want something other than that, we are have to reflect and become something other than that. I want to be a better husband, a better father, a better person. I am going to try to reflect that. Pray for me.

Be Blessed,
