Knock everything systematically. No matter what you hear of, deprecate it and predict the worst.
Mind everyone else’s business. This will insure your neglecting your own.
Never perform today what you can possibly postpone until tomorrow.
Leave the important things to someone else instead of seeing to them personally.
Have no organized arrangements. Trust to luck for everything.
Be a sanctimonious humbug, and when you bungle things say it is “the Lord’s will” or that the trouble is that you are too good for your surroundings.
Sit down and wait for something to turn up.
Finally, conduct your life in all respects as if there were no God.
Deliver me from all my transgressions: make me not the reproach of the foolish.
(Psalm 39:8)
There are clear pathways to negativity that virtually assure our failure. Treading these paths, regardless of how justified we feel in so doing, will invariably ensure a harmful outcome for us. We set the course for failure when we choose the paths of negativity, and we ourselves pave the journey to failure with the stones of our own attitude and actions.
Just as surely, when we avoid the pathways that lead to failure, we set a heading that avoids the pitfalls of negativity. And when our attitudes and actions reflect love, faith and hope, we build the highways to our success.
If we are to truly succeed, we must walk the walk of love, affirmation and peace. Then our journeys will assuredly take us to the garden that awaits in our true destination.
Paving the way with peace,
Z gardener
