1 Thing You Can Do This Week to Change Your World


You Can’t Be a Shepherd and Act Like a Sheep

If you want to shepherd your ideas, guide your plans and steer your dreams, you have to stop being a victim to your own circumstances or a prisoner to your own limited “mental barn.”

Sheep clump.

Sheep are often afraid.

Sheep don’t know how to move to greener pastures.

Sheep are vulnerable to wolves.

Sheep are not comfortable unless they’re doing what the other sheep are doing.

A sheep is an animal

As an animal, it responds to its environment instead of changing it.

A shepherd, on the other hand, is a human who understands sheep weaknesses, and is able to lead them to more prosperous and safer adventures.

A shepherd does this in two ways–sometimes a shepherd uses tenderness; sometimes, stern.

If you want to change your world, you have to stop being a sheep. Because if you are, you cannot shepherd your own passions.

So find your own humanity, develop some spunk, don’t respond to the greenness of the grass–and bring leadership and compassion to the sheep around you.

Reason

The reason I live is rarely clear

Is it passion or surging fear?

Am I watching my “P’s and Q’s”

Or blindly following others’ views?

Can I capture a moment’s thought

Or recite the words so carefully taught?

Is there a god who shares my day

A driving purpose lighting the way?

Or has time and chance captured me

A prisoner of luck, doomed to be

For the reason is never the excuse I give

And the source is hidden from the way I live

I am learning to feel a yearning within

Instead of merely trying to escape the sin

So maybe someday clearly I’ll see

My reason explained–at last to be free.
