Enormous Difference Between Knowing and Doing

Enormous Difference Between Knowing and Doingby Chris Banescu –

There is an enormous difference between knowing and doing. Most of us know exactly what we should be doing, but we don’t actually do it.

  • We know we should eat healthy and exercise regularly.
  • We know we should watch less TV and read more good books.
  • We know we should spend less and save more.
  • We know we should stop wasting time on frivolous and superficial things.
  • We know we should spend more quality time with our spouse and family. [Read more…]

Our Daily Habits Influence Our Destiny

Our Daily Habits Influence Our Destinyby Chris Banescu –

What we do every day defines us. Our daily choices and actions influence who we are and who we eventually become. Daily habits have a powerful cumulative effect on us; they ultimately determine our destiny.

This simple truth gets lost in a culture permeated by superficiality and preoccupied with immediate gratification and instant results. Our society is obsessed with “overnight” success stories and the “next big thing,” often ignoring the monotonous and hard work that created such amazing achievements.

A vocation is different from a career. We typically choose a career. Sometimes we choose multiple careers, especially in free-market economies where the job market is in a constant state of flux. We also pursue different opportunities for earning a decent living either through entrepreneurship or consulting. We use our unique skills to help others. We start a new business or we turn our hobby into an alternative source of income. [Read more…]

If You Are Worried or Anxious, Shift Your Focus

If You Are Worried or Anxious, Shift Your Focusby Chris Banescu –

In times of uncertainty, in times of trials and tribulations, and in times of worldwide crisis—like the current one caused by the coronavius pandemic which spread from communist China—we become worried and fearful. The uncertainty and danger cause us to be anxious and stressed, or more anxious and stressed than normal.

For many of us, prayer, meditation, attending religious services, and fellowship with friends and family can help reduce the worry and anxiety we feel. But what if prayer and meditation are not enough? What if their effects are only temporary? What if, as we experience presently, churches and other houses of worship are closed by government fiat and we’re unable to worship and have fellowship with our brethren? What else can we do?
