What's the Score? Winning or Losing?



What's the score?  Specifically - in the game of life.

What I mean is - do you have an overall feeling of winning or losing in life?  I think it's something we all have a feeling for...somewhere deep within - I'm not sure if it's felt - like in our heart or soul...or if it's known somewhere in our mind.  No matter, we have a sense of how we are doing...

I guess part of knowing is in how we personally keep score.  Again, whether we know it or not, we all keep some type of score in life.

I think we all have some sort of value system...IMO - it's pretty personal/subjective...unique even.

What I mean, we all have a personal list of what we REALLY care about...for some it's a few things & for others it's a lot of things.  But, it's those things on the list that we use to score how we are doing, specific to our life & not compared to anothers'.

I think we survey all the pieces (all the things on the list), add them up within & tally a score.  That score is what gives us some sense of winning or losing.

The challenge - score it right...score things that matter most...major in the majors...don't allow things that really matter most to get lost behind things that really don't matter at all...know the score at all times & know when to make some adjustment in whatever area needed.

So, if you have this feeling in the pit of your gut that says "something is not working right"...then, find out what it might be tied to & adjust accordingly.

God has a wonderful plan for each of our lives...we find it when we follow the peace He gives us - somewhere within that feels like "winning or losing" in life.  I think He places this internal guidance system within that is meant to guide us to the abundant life...follow the peace.
