Your Labor is Not Your Life

Life has been designed to be enjoyed through the substance of your work and diligent progression
of your success. Life has its advantages to either be lived or succumb to the rigorous grind of
trying to please the status quo of people who have no value to your experience.
What is life but a fleeting moment that has to be captured in the essence of every minute that has
been afforded to you? The episodes that life displays are choreographed by the supreme director
of this story called life. You play the main role in your life and how you handle the script that is
given to you determines the effects to the outcome of your life.
1) What profit is laboring when you don’t make time to enjoy the life that has been created
it?
2) Life is more than labor and labor is not the fruit of your life.
3) Life is vexing when you consume it with labor only and don’t enjoy the fabric that has been
laid. Family is one of the patterns of fabric that has been designed.
When God created the first family he designed a portrait that exemplifies unity and wholeness that
allows true happiness to be experienced in this journey known as life. Family is beyond important.
It’s extremely urgent that it becomes the focus to why you labor. Anything that takes the place of
your family is vanity and becomes unprofitable to your advancement in life.
What you leave on earth is a legacy that is passed down to the next succession of family. How
you lived and how you labored helps determine what your legacy will portray. Your values,
principals, and integrity for family establishes a standard for generations to come.
4) Life is not what you produce materially, but what you create paternally which leaves a
lasting expression of happiness.
Another pattern of fabric that has been laid by life is investment of time. Time value is so crucial
in life because once you release your time you will never get it back.
5) Time is like seeds. What you plant you are looking for a harvest of production. How you
invest your time determines the circulation of the return of your investment.
The first principal is where to invest: The verse say that the wind goeth toward the south and
turneth unto the north.
6) You can determine a person’s outcome in life by where they invest their time. Have you
ever wondered why there hasn’t been any productive outcome from time spent with certain
people? It could very well be time wasted.
Investing your time should be strategic in whom or what you send it to. If you are investing your
time into things that don’t make a turn for the better, step back and redirect your time. Time should
never be stagnated but progressive in its return. That second part of Ecclesiastes 1:6 gives a
powerful principal: its’ whirling about continually and the wind returneth again according to his
circuits.
7) Time never ceases. Time is a constant evolution of results. The results of your life
determines what circuit you are plugged into with your time.
8) I believe that how you distribute your time determines extension or returns with time.
Be blessed,
Baron Hopgood
