.god (dot god)




Approximately 3,338 years ago my people (I am Jewish) stood in front of a large sea.  They had just gone through over 200 years of slavery, and during the last year witnessed 10 miracles - where God “broke” nature.  Several examples of that were God turning the water in the Nile to blood and hail falling from the sky with fire inside the hail. 


Only 15% of the slaves left Egypt after all of this.  And when they thought the coast was clear, their suffering done, their faith and trust acknowledged and rewarded - boom.  They came to the edge of a large sea, and they looked behind them and saw the world's most powerful army, the Egyptians closing in on them in horse drawn chariots.  And they were not offering them an all expense paid please come back invitation 😀


We all need to put ourselves in their place.  Because we all have moments like this.  The sea may not always be so large, its waters so rough, or there may not be anybody chasing behind us with the intent on killing us.   


We all have moments where we doubt our faith.

Our faith in ourselves.

Our faith in our abilities.

And if you believe in God, our faith in him.


Even in today’s connected world there is no .god extension to search for and connect with on the internet.  And there is a reason for that.


That .god extension requires faith. 


Faith that you are where you are supposed to be.


Faith that you are there for a good reason.


Faith that you are never in a position that you cannot succeed from, and become stronger and better.


Because,


There will always be that next sea that you will approach.

You just do not see it currently, or it's not in focus.


And when you are standing there at the edge of the sea, do not ever lose faith in yourself.  You can do it. 


Wishes for a great day,

Each one a gift,

David/

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/

Your Matter Matters You occupy space and time. You have mass and volume. You are composed of atoms; electrons, neutrons, protons You are matter, and you matter. What you have that other matter does not have is the opportunity to form it, to do something valuable with it. To create positive value, make the world a better place every day, leave something behind that people want to remember you for. Your matter, matters. It is up to you to make your matter matter to everyone including yourself. Wishes for a great day to all, Each one a gift, David/

The God Rule Try this. In fact, everyone should try this. In place of or in addition to the “Golden Rule" ( defined as treating others as you would like to be treated). The God Rule. And this is applicable whether or not you believe in God. God being defined as a benevolent entity, creator of all matter, and source of all moral authority; a supreme being. Before you do anything, ask yourself, “What would God want me to do?”. And then do that. And no doubt, God would want me to wish you all, A great day, because, Each one is a gift. David/
