I was asked by a colleague today why I
had not pushed through to finish my Chartered Secretaryship
qualification. I had no regrets and answered that I had done enough
studying for one lifetime and that now at age 40 I wanted to enjoy
life and do the things that I love, one of them being writing.
It all seemed so clear, no confusion
and what a blessed place to be at emotionally. I know the things
that are important to me now I don't have any desire to complicate
that with unnecessary pursuits. If God so ordains and I have the
privilege of living a long life, I know for sure which direction I
am heading.
Don't get me wrong, I have plenty goals
and ambitions but I am now able to focus my attention on only the
things that really matter to me. Reaching a place of contentment is
a spiritual goal that we should all set for ourselves.
The bible says that the love of money
is the route of all evil, not money itself. When we are truly
contented inwardly, our choices about how we spend our money will
become wiser. Are there unnecessary goals that you are striving for
financially? If so, ask the Holy Spirit to guide you to a place of
contentment so that you can rest in your labours and find blessing
from God.
