“Blessed is the man who does not walk in the council
of the ungodly, nor stands in the way of the sinners, nor sits in the seats of
the scornful…. He shall be like a tree planted beside the rivers of waters…”
Psalm 1:1, 3.
Position describes where you put yourself and where
you put yourself is by far a very big tool to create who you become. Everywhere
you stand, or sit or walk produce something out of you and that something is a
product produced by the position.
A student cannot be depositing himself at “fan
fairs”, “night clubs” and “dating corners”, etc. when his friends are learning
in the classroom and still expect to have the same level of bar as they have.
Wherever you put yourself gives you whatever it gives.
I was watching a football match between Chelsea FC
and Manchester United FC years back and I happened to discover through that
game the major role that position plays in determining our success. It all
happened when Chelsea played their optimum skills and earned 60% ball
possession against their opponents’ 40%. However the end result yielded three
goals against the dominant Chelsea team. What really made the team to lose was
the miss-position of their goal keeper which made them conceded the goals. The
ambitions of the 11 men in the blue jerseys sunk narrowly as this number 11
blue jersey bearer almost always deposit himself on the “off-side position” and
whenever the ball is being passed to him, the whistle blows and the flag goes
up.
Are you putting yourself in the right position or
you are always “off”? Remember not every position welcomes victory!
