Stop Waiting For Your Ship to Come in and Build A Boat!


Putting your Hope in the lottery?   I've read that you are more likely to be hit by lightning, twice, than to win a million dollar lottery!

Some people call that faith!  I'ts actually unrealistic and can be a dangerous thing for those who tend to live a life outside of reality anyway.

Therapists offices are filled with people who are in denial of reality.  There are many negative consequences to ignoring reality.   The alcoholic who, against reality, convinces himself that just one drink wont hurt is just one example.  There are many others.  The employee who thinks he will never be caught steeling from the job or the liar who believes that no one will ever find out about how she lied on her tax return.

Terrible relationship problems are no stranger to unrealistic thinking.   The man who beats his wife is also living in a fantasy land based in unrealistic thinking.  He believes that his spouse really stays because she loves him and not out of fear of reprisal.

Living in reality can change your life!   Instead of waiting for your ship to come in you'll build yourself a great boat!  Living in reality will cause one to face their flaws and shortcomings and realize that change can only occur when reality is faced.  If I eat this Sweet Cake it actually WILL cause me to be in danger of blindness if I am a  Diabetic.

Science says that for every action there is an equal and opposite reaction.

God put it this way...  "Don't be led astray, God will not be mocked, whatever you plant, that is what will come up. " (Galatians 6:7)

If you don't pay that bill,  you'll loose your house, or car...  or whatever...  It's just reality.

Time to begin working on your boat...
