Don't Worship False Idols
October 20, 2022

Worshipping is to show honor or reverence to something.  In my religion, we are instructed not to worship false idols.  The reference point was man-made wooden statues.   

 

Wooden idols are but one example of false idols we can worship.  Capital accumulation, substances, people, including ourselves, pleasure, are also a few.  False idols tend to be made by humans and marketed overtly or subliminally.   

 

There is a saying that a doctor who treats himself has a fool for a patient.   

A person who worships false idols is a foolish practitioner.   

You should use your time and efforts more wisely. 

 

Wishes for a great day to all, 

Hugs too,

Return to Your Babyhood Remember the good old days when you were a baby? When you never gave up, regardless of how many times you failed. What happened to those good old days? When you were learning how to walk, you fell down each and every time. On average 17 times per hour. Hundreds if not thousands of times. And what did you do? You got back up. Each and every time. No questions asked. Never taking failure as your final answer. And then, you succeeded. You never doubted yourself. You never overthought things. You never got in your way. If you are now doing these things, preventing yourself from succeeding, getting in your own way, doubting yourself, overthinking things, stop. You can do it. You have done it before. When you had far less capabilities and knowledge and support. Wishes for another great day, each one a gift, David/

Failure or Revelation? You never fail at anything, and that is the truth. What you are doing is revealing to yourself an area of improvement. It is important to realize this, because if you are not failing at something, you are not challenging yourself adequately. And if you are not challenging yourself, how do you make yourself a better person tomorrow than you are today? So please, fail at something often. Be a better person each and every day, because, Each day is a gift, David/
