How to Stop Being Dumb | Crosstraining 11.3.14

Proverbs 4:7 & Proverbs 16:16 Last week, my wife was getting ready to do the dishes. I stopped her and told her to not worry about them, and I would do them later. Unfortunately, later eventually came after a busy evening, and I just didn’t feel like doing them. I asked my wife if it was okay if I just did them the following day. Content with putting it off until the next day, I went to bed. Crazy enough, the next day came, and I still didn’t want to do them. I continued to put off doing the dishes until I finally decided to do them right before I went to bed. I had good intentions all along of doing the dishes, but I didn’t do anything until I finally made the choice to do it. Most of us judge ourselves by our intentions, but we judge others by their decisions. We mean well, but we still make bad choices. Not only do we make our decisions, but our decisions make us. We are a product of every choice we’ve ever made. As we make decisions, we determine who we are. We can talk about our good intentions all we want, but it’s what we actually do and what we actually say that determines who we become. Do your decisions match up with your good intentions? If not, how can you start making smart choices?]]>
