It came to my attention the other day that I tend to slack off. I do what I know I have to… I seem to get by alright. Now, I’m talking about school here, not my personal life, but that’s questionable as well. I didn’t receive the news well at all. In fact, I was surprised to hear it! Sometimes I think I’m really good at disguising my laziness, but I really have no talent in the area what so ever. I ignored the reprimand and decided I knew better. I don’t, clearly. Today, while reading our devotion in small group, I stumbled across a line that was speaking about being scolded, but not for punishment’s sake. Being corrected and rebuked is in preparation for being in Heaven! How amazing is that?!? I still don’t think I’ll enjoy being corrected… but when I do, at least I know it’s for good! Anyways, back to the real point. I SHOULD be putting %110 into my work. I SHOULD strive to be a leader. I SHOULD be content with where I am and make the most of my time here. I can’t say that my heart will be this joyful from now on. I know there are times coming in which I won’t feel like being scolded is a good thing. I understand that being a leader won’t always seem like the best idea. But, I know now, in a really good time, in a time where I am SO blessed, just how wonderful it is to look at life through the lens of an optimist. I get to go to school in a place where people actually care about our success. We are prayed for, blessed, and loved. That is UNBELIEVABLE!
To be the best would be great… but to be someone who puts all they into their dreams… that’s even better!
