4 Life Tips for handling that probably have not considered

I once read an article in a business magazine for rich people and the traffic many of them. Private jets come in handy when there is a meeting in New York, to oversee a production line in California, and pursuing customers in Japan. Yet there is one thing they all have in common with the rich ... 24 hours. Nothing more, nothing less. One can easily see the direction your life is going the way you spend your 24. Certainly no one can affect the world doing nothing, procrastinating, daydreaming, and wishing for your dream come true.

Before there were airplanes, trains, cars or a person is able to spend his life from birth to death, making the impact. Using his foot, the support of 12 friends (including one who had betrayed a purpose), and word of mouth advertising was so effective, we must still speak, worship, and study him today. Do you know who ... Jesus! As the world has had time to teach 12 years, cultivating relationships, have a profitable business carpentry, heal people, raise the dead, and still be at peace with himself? Yes, I know that is God, but he was also human. We can do what he did? I believe the answer is definitely YES! Jesus left a book of instructions with no hidden answers. I found his trial and, if put into use, we can be effective in our calling too!

1. Get away from the crowd (sometimes). Luke 4:42 says that after Jesus healed and free all night, when it was day, "he left and went to a deserted place."

2. Knowing your position. People love to follow the size, especially when you're living your life's purpose. In the same verse above, the crowd came looking for him and "tried to prevent him from leaving them." The crowd never tires and will require more time and attention to your cost. Not only was the whole night?

3. Know your goal, stay focused and not be influenced, no matter how tempting the offer. Luke 4:43 teaches that Jesus wisely resisted the crowd. Here was a celebrity, with people pulling for him and begged him to stay, but he told them: "I must preach the good news of the kingdom of God to other cities, because that's why I was sent."

4. Withdrawal often. The size and influence require rejuvenation. Luke 05:16 says, "so often withdrew into the desert to pray." Because his priorities were in control, Jesus knew where his strength and he often visited to charge and receive further instructions for the work he had done.

So can you do? Absolutely. Will it be easy? Probably not. Is it worth it? Definitely. Jesus set the example for us to follow, with only 33 years to do so. No matter what your age, if you are not living the way, you're wasting your time. Nobody asked you to raise the dead. Just increase the level of performance to be the best you can be.
