激情的力量(之二)

Oct 29, 2023

要把上帝……赐给你的恩赐充分发挥出来。(提摩太后书1:6)

成功的关键在于知道自己的身份(所蒙的呼召),以及你应该做什么(你的命定)。否则,你就会像八爪鱼穿着旱冰鞋,满场跑动,但没有真正的方向。另一关键是要有灵性和情感上的动力,才能达到目标。有两种人:一、激情不足的人。如果不喜欢自己所做的事情,你就会像埃迪那样。他祖母喜爱歌剧,在埃迪八岁生日时,她带他去看了德国瓦格纳(Wagner)的表演。第二天埃迪给祖母写了个条子:“亲爱的祖母,感谢您给我的生日礼物。这是我一直以来想要,但又不是非常想要的。爱您的埃迪。”当你没有太大的欲望去做某事,很难成功。俗话说得好:“找到你喜欢做的事情,喜欢到不计报酬心甘情愿去做的程度,如果你学会做好了,某天会有人为此欣然付款。”二、缺乏激情的人。有些人说他们感到精疲力竭。实情是许多人从一开始就没有活力。诺曼·卡森斯(Norman Cousins)说:“生命当中最大的悲剧不是死亡,而是活着的时候就任其死去的内心。” 如果不小心,你可能会像墓碑上写着的人一样:“死于三十岁,埋于六十岁。”不要让这事发生在你身上。当你寻见上帝所赐你的目的,你的激情也会随之而来。你一定要点燃激情吗?是的,还要定期去做。它能够激励你,带你到达目的地。
