Are You in the "Slacker Zone"?

Have you ever sat and wondered why success seems to come easy to some people but just not for you?

Do you find yourself making excuses or telling stories to justify why things just didn't work out this time?

Do you keep telling yourself you would have gotten that promotion if so and so down the hall wasn't such a suck up?

How about youir spending habits? You don't have the money, but justify why using the credit card "just this once" isn't a big deal?

My friend, you've just entered the "Slacker Zone".

Pr 6:9-11 "How long will you stay in bed, you slacker? When will you get up from your sleep? A little sleep, a little slumber, a little folding of the arms to rest, and your poverty will come like a robber, your need, like a bandit."

Pr 19:24 "The slacker buries his hand in the bowl; he doesn't even bring it back to his mouth."

Pr 22:13 "The slacker says, 'there's a lion outisde! I'll be killed in the streets!'"

Pr 24:30-34 "I went by the field of the slacker and by the vineyard of a man lacking sense. Thistles had come up everywhere, weeds covered the ground, and the stone wall was ruined. I saw, and took it to heart; I looked, and received instruction: a little sleep, a little slumber, a little folding of the arms to rest, and your poverty will come like a robber your need like a bandit."

I was once referred to a "lot of sizzle without the steak!"

That will get your goat!

What are you willing to do to change the course of your life?

1. You can make excuses and tell stories. Here's the thing about excuses. They only make sense to you. No one else cares.

2. You can get educated and start living the life of a GREAT Fiscal Steward (c)!

Mt 25:29 "For everyone who has, more will be given, and he will have more than enough..."

The great thing is, It is your Choice. Join the Ant Colony or stay in the "Slacker Zone".

Whatever choice YOU make, stop complaining about it and own your decision. It is no one's fault but your own. Slacker's make excuses and blame others. Ants do their part without supervision or without being asked!

YOU Decide! Make it a GREAT day!
