What's UUUUUP! What's new? Things here are well. I'm trying a new thing! I'm gonna pre-write these things on Sunday night... so that I send 'em bright and early in the mornings! That way I can better maintain consistency and not throw you all for a loop wondering, "Hmm, that crazy pat, you never know what day or hour he's gonna send that thing." I'll leave the hidden day and hour thing to Pops and the return of da Christ ;) Aight, on to... da Word!
checkit:
Do not withhold good from those who deserve it, when it is in your power to act.
- Proverbs 3:27
Tru! That's a good word yo. I don't know why it happens, but for some reason we tend to withhold good from those who deserve it! Why is that? It's so counter that it's straight ludicrous potnas! If someone deserves good, we should be pouring it on bruthaz and sistaz! Instead, we are quick to simply say, "Oh s/he is great!", and do nothing else. And we then grow an unfair expectation that s/he will continue to be great.
Now, while this person is off being great, s/he rarely reaps an equal or satisfactory acknowledgment of their efforts. But MAN are we swift to unleash all manner of attention and desolation (strong word, but bear with me) on a kat who "deserves" bad. Why are we spending so much time on bad kats, and not nearly as much on those deserving good. If it is in our power, yo, we should be bestowing good on those who deserve it! Not only is it right (duh!) but it will inspire that kat to continue that way (usually this kind of person has a character that would continue regardless, but it's the principle).
Not withholding good will, in turn, inspire others to do the same because no longer will it be true that, for the most part, being selfless and doing all those extra things will go unnoticed. And maybe, just maybe, people will start to do things deserving of good not for the rewards, but just because it is the bigger thing to do. A change of character will occur and peeps will rise above the status quo. So, if it is in our power, let us do good to those who deserve it in all walks of life from the workplace to the family place. Leaders, managers, and owners take note as well, do good to those who deserve it for the impact and the return will be immeasurable.
Aight y'all! PEACE!
G-bless,
