Prosper Where You Are Planted

I watch people every single day working their jobs like drones with no sense of purpose, no vision and no spirit of excellence. They are just doing their time, buying into the lie of security, kicking back and riding the wave to a great retirement. The brutal truth is that there is no security on this planet. This article will reveal how important it is to prosper where you are planted, making the most of what you have so that you are ready to bring that spirit of excellence into all future opportunities, giving you the best chance to succeed.

Let’s get real here. There are tens of thousands of people laid off every year, which proves that there is no such thing as job security. The rug is pulled out from under those folks with so called “secure” positions due to deaths, bankruptcies, changes in company leadership, unethical business practices, market downturns, injuries, illness and many other circumstances. There is no security in life at all.

One thing that is inevitable is change. Nothing lasts forever. So kicking back and riding the wave of security results in the mediocrity of falling into a comfort zone. In a comfort zone we stop dreaming, taking risks and reaching beyond what we can see.

Marriage and dating is a prime example of sliding into a comfort zone. When you are single and playing the field, you take care of yourself, dress nice, smile a lot, brush your teeth and make sure that you are groomed. You speak politely to the person you are dating and pamper them with special cards and flowers. We do all of this stuff when dating to impress the other person.

Then, we get married. We feel secure for about a year and then things start to change. The woman’s hair is in a messy bun, she hasn’t worn makeup in a month and she’s let herself go. The man stops shaving every day, doesn’t put on deodorant, forgets her birthday and misses the wedding anniversary. We wouldn’t even miss monthly recognition of our first date when we were dating! Why? It’s the façade of security that leads to a comfort zone. A comfort zone only leads to destruction and death… death of dreams, death of excitement, death of anticipation, wonderment and death of the unseen.

You must prosper where you are planted. When you start sewing good seed into your marriage with all of that care and detail the way you would if you were dating, it prospers. We all know how to prosper. We all know how to work in a spirit of excellence.

Ask yourself this question, “If you knew you couldn’t fail, what would you pursue?” What is in your heart to do? What does it look like? Who would you be working with? In life, nothing becomes dynamic until it becomes specific so make a list of; who you want to work with, what kind of a purpose do they have, how do they treat their customers, what kind of money you can make and what each of you brings to the table. Be specific and start reaching out by faith for what you want today.
