Well Good Morning, my friends!
Welcome to Live Inspired with John O'Leary.
Delighted to be with you on this chilly January morning.
I had an opportunity a couple weeks ago to spend some time with an old dear friend who
is struggling in some aspects of his life.
And as he's going through this list of challenges, adversity, difficulties that are going on
around him, outside of him, but also within him, I said, "Man, why do you think it's like
this?
Why do you think it's so difficult today?
And it seems like it's almost always challenging for you."
The guy's response was, "I don't know.
That's just the way it is.
That's just the way I've always been."
That's just the way it is.
And that's just the way it's always been.
My friends, if we all were to have that same attitude, I think we would be in the exact
same place or worse than we were yesterday, last week, last month, and as five-year-old
little kids.
That's just the way it is.
That's just the way it always has been.
And yet, what we know as men and women, boys and girls who choose to live inspired, who
choose instead to wake up from accidental living is that just because it was so yesterday
doesn't mean it has to be the same way today.
They also know, WE KNOW, that growth, change, transformation, redemption, growth is the
only evidence of life.
Growth is the only evidence of life.
Just because it was that way yesterday, or you acted that way yesterday, or you had those
challenges yesterday, does not mean it has to be that way today.
Remember that today as you step into this morning, as you step into this week, as you
step into the fullness of your life.
My friends, this is your day to change, to grow, to shine going forward.
For this time and until next time, this is John O'Leary.
And this is your day.
Live Inspired.
