Life is an interesting thing, I used to just do all the minimum to get by, just barely doing enough school each day, procrastination was ever present, and I didn’t really feel like I was making a difference at all, which I think instilled in me an attitude of mediocrity and selfishness, which led to doing things half way, and asking what they could do for me, not what I could do for them.
I recently had the priviledge of doing something for someone else.
A friend was going through something traumatic in their life, something inside(or from above) told me I had to help, it wasn’t an option, I didn’t even know what the issue was, but I did my best to be there for them, I didn’t say much but I was there to “listen” (all of this was over instant messaging).
As it turns out, I had something similar happen in my life a year or so ago, so I knew exactly what they felt like and I was able to help them even more.
So, whats my point, as I said first off, I was living life with and attitude of mediocrity and selfishness, I had forgotten what it meant to do something whole heartily, and enjoy the feeling of a job well done.
By helping this person, I woke up to that fact that there is more to life than what I thought, I have started doing things well, not doing things just to get them out of the way, my school work has improved, my devotions with my God have been more meaningful.
If you feel like you are doing things half-way, without any heart. turn and face your Creator, then look for a friend that is grieving and stand by them.
