We are in the construction business. We are building a house and the house is called our life. Have we been putting the best materials into it we possibly could? Or are we thinking about cheating life or getting by with shortcuts?
Cheating life and getting by with shortcuts is settling for our limitations; it is buying into our excuses as the truth. It is playing small and playing safe; it is
giving up on our dreams and desires, or worse yet, giving up on ourselves; it is living someone else's dream. We are planning and drawing the blueprint of our lives at this very moment. Are we planning and drawing a mansion or a shack? Or something in between? Or, do we hold ourselves in check because of the stories we tell ourselves about all the mistakes we've made in the past and think we don't deserve success or happiness or the mansion we really want?

Maybe we can't see our answered prayer; maybe we can barely distinguish light from dark; yet can't we sense something's coming our way? Isn't there some small voice within that calls you when you least expect it? Doesn't this voice of truth and love and adoration whisper and breeze past you? Listen, listen. When we listen to that, we are not cheating life or getting by with shortcuts. We are tuning into our inner genius; we are tuning into God. We are remembering who we are.
Wisdom from Ernest Holmes:
Divine Love and Infinite Wisdom could not create us as spontaneous individuals without letting us alone to discover ourselves. In the process of self-discovery we misuse the law of cause and effect. This is our mistake. It is through these mistakes that we learn how to use the law of life rightly.
