Pat Mesiti – Soaring Higher Pat Mesiti International Motivational Speaker gives you principles to soar higher!
Don't sell out convictions for conveniences I’ve learned that whatever I value I will honour. Learn to place value on your convictions. Isn’t it interesting that one kilogram of dirt and one kilogram of diamonds weighs the same, but one of them is of greater value. Decide in your life what is dirt and what is diamonds, and live towards that. A young Jewish boy grew up in Germany many years ago. He greatly admired and dearly loved his dad, in part because he felt his dad had a great love for religion. Every week the boy’s father took his family to the synagogue. During the boy’s teenage years the family was forced to move to another area with no synagogue, only a Lutheran church. All the well-to-do people in the new area belonged to it. Suddenly, the boy’s father announced that his family was going to become Lutheran because it would be good for business. The young man became very angry, very bewildered and very disillusioned. He later left Germany and went to England to study. Each day he could be found at the British Museum. The young man began to formulate ideas which he eventually developed into a book. He introduced this book with its radical worldviews and a movement was conceived that eventually brought misery to countless millions. His ideas became the norm for governments around the world. This boy's name was Karl Marx. World history was altered by a father who sold out principles for money, and conviction for convenience. Always understand that the greatest thing you have going for you is your convictions. Tragically, I once compromised my convictions in an area of my life and I paid a heavy price. It was a tough lesson to learn, but I have learned from that mistake. I have learned to value my convictions. You don't have to make the same mistake. When you try to live for convenience, you pay a price that is often very painful. Make sure that your life is founded on convictions, deeply rooted convictions. Let your business be a conviction, let your financial prosperity be a conviction, let your values be a conviction to you. Don't compromise them. It is better to have them and be wrong in the eyes of many, than to not have them at all. I believe that a man or a woman without convictions will always be unstable and double minded. Make sure you never compromise them, but keep them close to you. Challenge Make a list today of some convictions in your life. Here are some of mine:
List convictions in your life that are dear to you. Adhere to them and make sure you do not compromise them.
