Charging the Human Battery

An excerpt from
Charging The Human Battery
by Mac Anderson

Think about that. One choice, just one, can change your life forever. Simply put, your life today is what your choices have made it, but with new choices, you can change directions this very moment. For me, that idea alone is highly motivational because it offers tremendous hope, regardless of circumstances, for a better tomorrow.

Your life-changing choice may be to switch careers, to leave an abusive relationship, to go back to school, to stop drinking, to adopt a child, to start a business, to lose weight, to start a charity...to name a few. If you have the courage to do so, you could make any one of those choices, or others, today. And you would change your life.

Sometimes it's a different kind of choice. It can be to not quit, to not give up in the face of adversity. We've all been there.

Jack Canfield and Mark Victor Hansen received 77 rejections for their idea Chicken Soup for the Soul. They had to make a decision each time...should they throw in the towel and say enough is enough, or should they keep trying to pursue their dreams? You know the rest of the story. The 78th publisher said “Yes” and they went on to sell over 100 million books.

So never forget that you are only one choice away from changing your life. Do you have the courage to make it?

***
What choices will you make today, this month, this year that will change your life, your family, your church, your community and the world?

What do you set your heart on to do as you are led by the Lord to do it?

If you know that you know you will not fail, what will you do differently today?

I pray the Lord to guide and to bless you and to cause you to be fruitful and effective in your daily living.

You can do it. The One who has begun a good work in you will complete it in the day of the Lord Jesus.

Go live your Spirit-filled life to the fullest in His power, in His love, in His strength. Go and impact someone else's life for all eternity with your decision NOW.
