To stay serious or diligent about a daily task assures that complacency does not enter your mind. Keep complacency at bay by creating activities that promote progress.
The thoughts of the diligent tend only to plenteousness; but of every one that is hasty only to want
The term “plenteousness” should be a thought believers seek out. We have a Father who is thinking about us dominating the earth, we should line up to his way of thinking.
Allow your mind to focus on the abundance of the Kingdom of God here on this earth. Once the influence of change raises its head you have to give it room to roam, do not sequester it. We hold up advancement in our lives with doubt and fear . These are enemies to those who are serious about their dreams. Lack of diligence is evident to all observers so do not fool yourself by making excuses.
Wherefore the rather, brethren, give diligence to make your calling and election sure: for if ye do these things, ye shall never fall:
Most of us are pretty serious about the work that provides a roof over our families but to achieve what I call full bodied success we must hit our lives with a “shock and awe” type attack. Surprise your daily routine with actions that will uplift your status immediately. Try it today, put all of the phone calls that are hard or challenging up first and make them without fear. Anything that will move the ball forward must be done today. For those of you that claim that you want more family time get serious about it today and make a commitment that you will stick to and provide short term actions that indicates that you are truly serious. Remember:
Dominate your thoughts, Dominate your Actions, Dominate your World tm
Get so serious about winning that you have no lapses in judgment and that’s when you will see domination occur. You have no lapses judgment when you do not “deal with a slack hand” and you are sure about your purpose. Diligence makes people look different and according to the Bible they never fall and diligence makes you rich.
He becometh poor that dealeth with a slack hand: but the hand of the diligent maketh rich
Diligence ties the principles of patience together. Proverbs 21:5 infers to that those who are hasty will have want or lack in their lives. The “Patient Mind” continues forward adding the necessary tools and actions to be successful. If you are seriously diligent about life you can “achieve your dreams”.
2 Peter 1:4-6
5 And beside this, giving all diligence, add to your faith virtue; and to virtue knowledge;
6 And to knowledge temperance; and to temperance patience; and to patience godliness;
