THIS IS A TEST, THIS IS ONLY A TEST

FRIDAY, DECEMBER 11, 2009

Do you remember the feeling you got in school on the day of a test when you were REALLY prepared? When you had studied and walked into the room with the confidence of knowing that you were going to do well?

Maybe you've had too many of the other types of days. The kind where you knew you weren't prepared and you felt disaster looming before you even tried. That kind of stomach-turning feeling of failure that comes with walking into a test you aren't ready for.

Too many of us live our lives in that second place; where decision after decision, assignment after assignment are faced with dread and trepidation. But if we understand that we have access to the Master Teacher, who has given us all the tools we need to succeed and all we need is the discipline to study and get proficient in the use of those tools then we will have so many more days like the first one, of confidence and success.

What are you doing to prepare for the tests of life?
