Evelyn's Words of Wisdom
E119-Endings Are Better Than Beginnings
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
“When you commit to something, do not slip at the end. See it all the way through. People tend to remember the ending of things rather than the beginning.”
Have you ever noticed that people tend to forget all of the work that it took to get you where you are right now?
They usually do not remember everything that happened up until the moment at hand. That is why it is important to follow things through. People tend to remember endings more than they do beginnings.
When you have a hard time with something in your life, people capture the mental picture of what is happening now and do not recall the memories of how hard you worked and how many people you have helped all along the way of your journey.
Having a setback in life is certainly not a failure. No one can be on top of their game all of the time. We appreciate the good times because we made it out of the storms.
Pray about everything before you make decisions. Give everything to God because He already owns it. We need to learn to become God dependent in His strength.
Are you going to follow through the next storm that you may find yourself in the midst of and discover your happy place?
Ecclesiastes 7:8
The end of a matter is better than its beginning, and patience is better than pride.
