Move slower to move faster.
Take a little longer before you speak.
Take time to order your thoughts.
Take time to prepare properly.
So many demands, so much to do;
The temptation to rush is overwhelming.
But.Stop! Sit...
Even right now!
For an hour.
Consider God.
Think about your plans.
Then... Act.

how true are these comments made by Pst Phil? its so true! so many people are quick to anger, quick to speak, quick to make comments that they forget everything else.
they forget that the comments they make would hurt someone else, they forget that it would cause a scar in someone else's life, they forget that God should be in their plans.
sometimes people rush to finish things, they forget the ultimate objective of the plan. why did we even start doing this project? is it for the fame? for the glory? or for the purpose of it?
stop and consider, are we in line with God? are our thoughts in line with him? many times we get tired, burnt out because what we're doing is not what God wants us to do! the joy of the Lord is our strength! if we're doing what God wants us to do, no matter how tired we are, we would still be filled with strength.
no one's perfect. we all have flaws and we need to learn from one another. allow yourself to be teachable, learn from the ants! learn from the roadsweeper, who's able to endure the sun, rain, cold just to keep our neighbourhood clean.
when you're not teachable, you wont be molded to who God wants you to be. then you end up getting frustrated because the same problem is coming back again and again.
stop and consider, is this happening to you now?
