Challenges we face every day
I WOULD suggest that if you are a living, breathing person, you will be challenged with all of the following at least a few times every 24 hours.
I hope you meet the challenges and are successful.
In the event that you are not, life has a way of giving people fresh opportunities, and one can always try again tomorrow.
The temptations:
To compromise your integrity for popularity, profit or the semblance of peace.
To spend more money than you can afford on things you do not need.
To be quiet when it is time to speak and to speak when it is time to be quiet.
To appear to be listening when someone is talking.
To ask questions without listening to the answers.
To eat more than you need and waste food a hungry person would crave to enjoy.
To speak ill of another and say things about him or her that you would probably not say face to face.
To nurse relationships, bruises and wounds and damages you thought you had already forgiven.
To waste time and opportunity and resources without giving it too much thought.
