7 Days to a better you
Why not 7 days? There are 7 days in a week, and God created the world in just 7 days, so what can do in just 7 days, after all we are made in Gods own image. So lets go to work and make the next 7 days the best 7 days of you life.
Your life is a gift from God, what you do with your life is your gift to God…..
I believe for anybody to be successful at anything, one should make a goal and do everything possible to see that goal through. If this wasn’t true why would any of us ever get into a car, plane or anything else for that matter if you didn’t have some place in mind as your end goal, the next step is trying to figure the best way to make goal happen. So the two question’s we all have to ask ourselves is where do we want to go, and how to make it happen. That’s simple enough right?
What we THINK about, and what we THANK about, is what we Bring about!
So everyday let us start the day off thinking about our goal in mind, and remember to be thankful. A wise man once told me “Find the GOOD in Everything” As I look back in my life no matter what the hardship was, there was always something that come from it. Sometimes it just one thing leads that lead to another, which in turn might of been the good from that experience. So let that be a lesson for us all, “Find the good in Everything” and lets be thankful for that.
Day 1
The first day of the week is Sunday, it was on this day that God set out to make some changes, he knew what needed to be done, and then got started doing that work. So for us Sunday we should look around and see what needs to be fixed, and then make our plans to fix what we can.
Day 2
Monday is typically the day when most people start there reg. job. So when they show up, they slowly get into the work at hand, to earn their paycheck. That’s what everybody else does, but you and I are different, you reading this, and me writing this proves you, and I are different. We are the people that want to make changes in our lives, and our families lives, and are willing to do something more than just talk about it.
So for Monday lets make Monday the day we go to work and we put in our 200% most people say the put in their 100% but we all know the they don’t. We however are different, not only can we put in our 100%, but we go the extra step, take that extra mile, to do more than what we are paid to do.
We go out of our way to do things the right way, not just half-assed. Everybody does that, and then call it their 100%. You and I know that’s wrong. Monday is the day we are showing the boss, and co-workers why we were hired us, and why the company put their trust in us. Monday is the day we always give 200% of ourselves, and our work.
“The rich people, are the people who do, what the poor people won’t do”
“Live like no other, so that someday you can really live like no other”
Day 3
Tuesday, is a day that we should spend some extra time to find something good in others. Everybody loves a compliment, but people also know when somebody is just shinning them on. Everybody wants to and needs to be appreciated. People everywhere will devote a lot of time and energy on want is important to them. Today is the day when we will take the time appreciate, and recognized them their work.
“Treat others as you would want them to Treat you”
Take note here it doesn’t say treat others- as they treated you, it says treat others- as you would want them to treat you. A big difference here..
Think about it, if you can do this this for others maybe the others will see the qualities that you have and in turn give you the recognition you want and deserve. Even if they don’t that’s ok too, because in the end all you can do is be responsible for what you do.
Day 4
Wednesday, is kind-of a judgment day, not you judging others but you judging yourself, have you lived up to your full optional? Did you make any progress toward your goals, what changes do you need to make to full-fill your goal, your destiny?
As for me Wednesday is the day I go to TOPS I have to be weighed, and I will see if I lost what I wanted, or if I have to make some changes to get back on track. So Wednesday is a self-judgment, and self analysis day. As we say in TOPS
“Now is the beginning of a new week”
Remember this!
“What we Think about, and what we Thank about, is what we bring about.”
Day 5
Thanksgiving is on a Thursday in the month of November, this is the day when America traditional says thank you for the past year and gets ready to settle in for the winter months ahead. Like wise in this 7 day plan Thursday is the day when we will look around our home, work, friends and family and say thank you, and always-always remember to say thank you to our God, for the life he has given us, and the future that he has made available to us.
Day 6
Friday, this is the day when most of us end the week of work and get ready to enjoy a few days off. Let Friday for us be the day when we finish doing all the jobs left behind either by ourselves or by others, and look for ways to help others. Remember Christ went to the cross on a Friday to help us, and said we were worthy of his death, and he had finished what he had set out to do. Let us set out to complete what have to do in life, and in work. When all have a responsibility to leave the world a better place because we were here.
Friday is also the day when God finished up all his work, and on the 7th day he rested. Friday is the day we make our world a little bit better, finish up those lose ends, and other tasks. Don’t let pieces of our work wait till next week.
Friday is also the day that most people get paid for their work. So let Friday just be another day that we can show the boss why he invested his time and money in us. Let his investment in us be the best investment, he has ever made, by being the best employee he has ever had.
By becoming this person for ourselves, and too our employer we have also set the example that others can follow, and we have brought honor to ourselves, and God.
Day 7
Saturday, was the day the bible says God had rested, he saw all that he had done and it was good… so he rested, and has told us all to keep this a day of rest. On Saturday we to can look back at our past week, enjoy some well deserved time off. Spent that extra time just loving on your family. Tomorrow is the beginning of a new week, and new opportunity make our life count for something more.
“To the World you might be but just one person, but to one person you
might be the World”
If this is true it would make sense that we should carry ourselves to a higher standard, so other’s could respect, and honor you, for just being you.
Give your self a hand, you can do this every week, and every week you will be just a little bit better, and making the world a little bit better because you cared enough to are. Keith Layton
