100 DAYS to HAPPINESS - Day 3 (Vision)

Proverbs 29:18 - "Where there is no vision, the people perish: but he that keeps the law, happy is he."

The writer of Proverbs said this and he was right. (Assuming it was a he because it came from a patriarchal time period.)

VISION allows you to see OPPORTUNITY where most cannot. VISION allows you to see the FUTURE when many only look at their pasts. VISION allows you to see POSITIVITY when other see recession! Hmmmm....

Where there is no VISION the people perish... is a profound statement into how dangerous it is to lack a view point of prosperity and life. How can a person perish without VISION? They eat right. They get up, go to work everyday. They have nice homes and cars. They have "success" right? But without VISION these things become obsolete. Without VISION these things grow rust. Without VISION people lose jobs. Without VISION, Shit happens.

The Evangelist India.Arie said, "All the material things, they feel like chains when Your not here beside me. You're the reason I sing. Help me to remember the way." With VISION - SHIFT HAPPENS!

The 2nd part of the text... "but he who keeps the law, happy is he."

What is this LAW that the writer is talking about? Of course the Jewish people read and followed the Mosaic Law to the letter... or at least tried. The LAW was really the WAY TO BE HOLY BEFORE GOD. So the law is HOLINESS, RIGHTEOUSNESS.

So we can conclude that the an accurate read of the text says, "Where there is no vision, the people perish: but he that keeps the RIGHTEOUS WAY, happy is he."

So today, as you meditate on your life... Are you keeping the way of RIGHTEOUSNESS? Not some moral code or a LAW, but are you right before YOU? Do you hold to your VISION for yourself. Are you walking in the RIGHTEOUSNESS you setup for yourself?

If you want a business, stop applying for J.O.B. (Jail Operating as a Business)

If you want a book. Start writing everyday and stop procrastinating.

If you want a degree. Start applying to schools and saving money. You might have to pay some out of pocket.

If you want to be wealthy. Start investing in your future. READ all you can about money management.

If you want LOVE. Start by LOVING yourself. I mean really!! LOVE YOU FIRST! Then people cannot help but follow suit.
Do you see what I see? Do you have a VISION?

I LOVE EACH AND EVERY ONE OF YOU.

Make today the best day ever!! YOU ARE PROSPEROUS!

NAMASTE - "The GOD in ME honors the GOD in YOU!"
