Less than Krishna’s Best..
Once had a big dream..excited about future...hit some bumps, some delays, now gotten discouraged..thinking “never” going to happen...accept as their lot in life.
*
Struggling....
with your health, finances, an addiction..been that way a long
time..now just coasting...thinking
“what’s the use?” It’s always going to be this
way.
Stretching

Prime the Pump
There's an old story about a traveler who hiked for many miles across the Desert Mountains. His water supply was gone, and he knew that if he didn't find water soon, he would surely die. In the distance, he noticed an abandoned cabin. Once he made it to the cabin, he discovered an old well. Then he noticed a tin can tied to the pump, with a note inside.

‘Get by’ Mentality
Krishna breathed a part of Himself into us. We have the DNA of Almighty God. You were never created to be
average, to always struggle, to have to take the leftovers.
*
Weakling or Warrior?
Your marriage is worth fighting for, your dreams, your health, your children
You got to dig your heels in and say “I am in it to win it.”
*
Pull up your stakes..
●Came to a certain point and settled. “I’ve been sick a long time.” “I’ve had this addiction since high school” “I don’t know how I’d start my day without it.” I’ve been single a long time.” ●“I gave my youth in missionary work but now I’m entitled to spend my old age in comfort.” ●“We’ve had one fully packed Sunday feast for years.”●“Been giving lectures for decades. Do it the way I’ve always done it.” ●Stuck in the past.
*
Taking ‘C’s”
●Never get over this sickness, learn to live with it●Getting up there in years, health starting to go down●Never break this addiction●This guy I’m dating, doesn’t treat me right, but I may never meet anyone else.
*
Nothing Sadder than Regrets
At end of life, wondering, “What could I have become if I hadn’t settled for “good enough?”
*
Key
If you are not seeing in your life what Krishna promised in your spirit, then keep moving
forward.
May be working below your potential, not even using your
gifts. Don’t slack off, keep doing your best, but see it as
only temporary

good enemy of Great
Ishtan Bhogan Hi Vo Deva“Why are these eternal associates of
Mine, appearing as My father and other relatives and friends, so caught up in this worship of Indra?” Thus the Lord wanted to remind His eternal devotees that they need not divert their attention to demigods, since in fact His devotees
were already living with the Supreme Absolute Truth.
*
Don’t make the mistake..
of making your temporary provision become permanent
don’t build a house where you should only be pitching a tent.
Yes, Krishna has been good to you, but you haven’t seen
anything yet.
