What we don't do

Ever have regrets? I really try to live with no regrets but there are times that I look back and see where there are things that I wish I had done differently. There are definitely some things that, if I had chosen not to do them, it may have changed things for the better. Of course, history never reveals our alternatives but, yeah, there are some things I should have done differently.

How about the flip side. Are there some things, when you look back, that you are glad that you didn't do? Because, if you had done these things, if you had followed the crowd, if you had given in to peer pressure, your life would certainly be different, and probably in a not so good way.

Today's word is just a quote/saying I came across a while back that reminds me that it isn't always about what I do: "Sometimes, it isn't what you do, but what you don't do that makes you who you are."

Just as we are often judged and known for some of the foolishness that we have done, we, too, are just as often known for the foolishness we haven't done. I try to remind young people to rely on GOD with decision making because you can make decisions at a very young age that will follow you the rest of your life. So, too, will the good decisions.

For every poor decision I have made, I am glad that GOD has helped me to make good decisions. And, sometimes, those good decisions weren't choosing to do something, but were decisions to do nothing. Oftentimes, who we are is based on what we don't do.

Be Blessed,
