THREE WAYS TO DESTROY LIFE
Leroy Eims recalls the words of Billy Graham at the funeral of Dawson Trotman. Graham enumerated three ways to destroy one’s life. One way is to give in to the slothful nature and do nothing. These folks just lie around and fry in their own fat. The second way is to give one’s self to a particular goal, work hard toward that goal, and upon attaining the goal find that it was not of great value. Many have found only bitterness and tears at this conclusion. The third way is to dabble. Many little things are accomplished, but nothing of any import. His conclusion was that Dawson was not a dabbler. He chose a goal and went after it. Singlemindedness is required for those who wish to accomplish the great goals. Adapted from Be the Leader You Were Meant to Be, by Leroy Eims, pg. 66
