1 Thing You Can Do This Week to Know What to Do
It is simply to ask yourself the question:
Have I done it before?
Even though we are challenged by a society that extols trying “something new,” we will not achieve great things unless we understand our limits.
For you see, there may be a reason you’ve never done it before. Maybe it’s not because you’re lazy. Perhaps you aren’t unmotivated.
When we begin to believe that everyone is a “sun” there will be no moons. There will be no people who reflect the brilliance of the world around them and shine it off in their own style.
I will tell you flatly, there are just things that I can’t do.
Part of this is preference, part of it is ability and part of it is that with the amount of energy it would take for me to become proficient at this one thing, I could have borne great benefit many times over by using my talent wisely.
Learn to avoid two silly ideas
- Try new things.
Not unless you’ve done something like it before and you know it’s in your scope.
- Challenge yourself.
May I suggest, rather, that you perfect yourself. Work on what’s already working to make your work better, so your work will mean something.
Have I done it before? Is the answer no?
Maybe humiliation is not the best path to travel for personal growth
Maybe it’s better to be more selective, and therefore, focused.

Jesonian: Morning Person … August 9th, 2015
Jonathots Daily Blog
(2657)
Jesus is a Savior because mankind decided to reject his first offer of Son of Man, and kill him off.
Jesus is the Christ because God ignored our verdict and raised him from the dead.
This is great stuff for Sunday. But my week has seven days.
So Monday through Saturday, I need the Nazarene to be something more than Jesus Christ.
Jesus is my Lifestyle Coach.
It’s really what he wanted. He desired us to believe in him for his words. That’s what he said (with his words, by the way).
So since my day begins with a morning–as does yours–it would be nice to know what Jesus felt about the morning, and how he suggested for us to become better “morning people.”
- Don’t be in a hurry.
The best way to ruin your day is to start off in a rush. Jesus hung around a lot. He escaped the crowds. The Bible says he “tarried” even when people wanted him to come quickly. Hurrying destroys us. It makes us lose our power while simultaneously taking ourselves too seriously
2. Get rid of yesterday.
It is unlikely that we will be able to enter our time machine and go back and redo anything. So the power of refusing to think about yesterday, or as Jesus said, “Take no thought,” gives us the full capability of considering how we want to butter our daily bread.
3. Ignore tomorrow.
People are only interested in the future because they believe it is beyond their control, and therefore they are victims to what will transpire. If you understand that the future does not exist until you craft it through your decisions, using your free will, then you will also comprehend the need to avoid crafting too soon.
Jesus comically told his disciples, “Today’s got enough problems of its own.”
4. Be of good cheer.
- I’ve achieved more in my life by joking than I ever did lamenting.
- I’ve made more friends poking fun at myself than I ever have reciting my accomplishments.
- And I’ve gained much more energy by smiling than by frowning.
Once you realize the world has tribulation, trying to stop the turmoil is fruitless unless you want to halt the insanity temporarily–with a good laugh.
5. Be ready. It’s coming.
The next thing that needs to be addressed will become pretty obvious. You can make your lists, but sometimes, #16 bumps the 15 previous candidates out of the way and wins the debate.
It’s just the way things are. Flexibility makes us powerful. Stubbornness always makes us stupid.
So avoid the dastardly, useless statement that you are “not a morning person,” and instead, look at the direction your Lifestyle Coach takes you in dealing with the first fruits of the day.

G-39: Plan B … August 29, 2014
Jonathots Daily Blog
(2336)
An avid teacher. A lover of humanity. A son of man. A soul of good cheer. A practical philosopher. A lifestyle coach. A marveller of faith.
Yet a healer by demand. A reluctant debater with cynical adversaries. A frustrated cleanser of the temple.
A trusting friend, now betrayed by a companion.
And…a very beleaguered savior.
“Let this cup pass from me.”
“Please believe me for my words.”
“If not, accept me for the healings.”
“Receive me as a shepherd.”
But please, don’t murder me to sanctify your religion.
Still, of love, free will and mission, mission lands a distant third. Love will be needed to survive the free-will choice of destroying our best God-opportunity ever.
Is it payback for banishment from Eden? Revenge for the Flood? Or is it just years of stone ignorance, crushing all new possibility?
“Your will be done.” But it’s not really Your will. It is Your will to grant free will.
They are going to kill me. I must have a plan. Salvation by my life’s blood. Cross that when I get to it.
Since it is going to happen … I might as well save the world.
