Pat Anderson Today

There is a Proverb that says,

“All the ways of a man are pure in his own eyes, but the Lord weighs the thoughts and intents of the heart.”

I know that for myself I judge my life by my intentions instead of by my actions.  In my own mind, I allow myself a lot of grace because I know what my intentions are.  My intentions are noble and good therefore I pass the test.  But what truly matters in life are my actions and the thoughts and purposes with which I follow through on those actions.  I can have good intentions but if I do not do anything about those good intentions I have still done - NOTHING!  I wanted to, I intended to!  But I did not do it.

I have a tendency to judge others on their actions but when I evaluate myself, I use the measuring stick  of: “What were my intentions?”  Not a very fair measuring method, is it?

So being honest with myself today, I will re-evaluate what my actions have really been like.

What were my actions (rather than my intentions) in the following areas:

• My marriage?
• My family relationships?
• My friendships?
• Feeding my inner spirit?
• My spending? (ouch!)
• My desire to make a difference in someone’s world?
• Smiling more?   Laughing more?  Enjoying life?
• Creating a day worth living?
• Building my home-based business?

It’s time to start implementing some action into those great intentions.  Join me today as I choose 1 thing in each of the above categories to add to this week and change my week from good to great.

Create a Great Day!
