Hello people... putting up this motivational piece this new year is a way of keeping us up on our toes and inspiring us on how to live a rewarding and successful life.... cheers!!!
I came across this interesting testimony by Tyler Perry and thought I should share:
A
few years ago I was getting these really insane water bills. I mean
HIGH! So I decided to dig some wells in my yard to have water for my
landscape. I live alone, so I know it had to be from watering the
grass.
So
I hired a company to come out and dig these wells. The foreman and I
walked all around my yard and as we were walking he was putting down
flags. I asked what the flags were for. He said,
"The
flags represent good places to dig for water." I asked, "Why do you
have so many flags?" He said, "I'm not sure if any of these places will
produce water." I said, "Hold up, you mean if you dig all these spots
and don't hit water I still have to pay you?" He said, "Yes, that's how
it goes." I said, "Ok, fine." Needless to say, he dug three wells and
never hit water. I said, "Just stop."
I
got a few more extreme water bills and called him back. He said, "Are
you sure?" I said, "Yes, keep drilling until you hit water." The next
well he dug he was down 500 feet and still didn't hit any water. He
asked if I wanted him to stop. I said, "Go deeper." He dug down another
200 feet and still nothing. I said, "Go deeper." He drilled another 200
feet and he hit rock.
I
said, "Blast it, cut it, do whatever you have to do but keep digging."
After fighting the rock and breaking his drill and getting a new one we
got a little deeper. He said, "We are at 1,200 feet, why do you want me
to keep going?" I said, "Cause I'm tired of these water bills and I'm
going to do something about it." He said, "But this is really deep." I
asked him if he had hit water yet. He said "no," so I told him to go
deeper. "But you don't understand," he said. "We don't usually drill
this deep, this is going to be expensive."
I
told him that, "Sometimes you have to go deeper to get what you are
after, no matter what the cost." He started the machine and went down
another
four inches and hit a river of water. Just a few inches separated me
from getting my breakthrough. That was five years ago and that well has
never run dry.
Tyler's Advise for all this New YearIn
2013 I want you to apply that to your life in all ways. Sometimes you
will spend time on a thing and it will produce no water. Don't be afraid
to move on to another spot. YOU CAN'T HAVE FEAR. I don't care how much
time you put into it. If the well is dry MOVE ON! Nothing lives where
there is no living water. Be it a relationship, a job, a business, don't
be afraid to move to another spot.
Now, on the other hand, if
you are digging your well and you are sure that it is not only where you
want to be but where God wants you to be, then keep digging in that
same spot. Don't stop digging until you hit a river of blessings. Don't
stop praying until you live in the change you've been waiting for. Don't
stop pushing until you deliver your breakthrough. Yes, it will get
difficult. Yes, you may hit rock. Yes, there will be a cost. But when
you get to what God is trying to get you to, YOU WILL RECOVER IT ALL!
One of my favorite scriptures says that. "PURSUE AND YOU SHALL RECOVER IT ALL!"
Some people give up when they are only inches away!!
Happy New Year.
