John is one of the best employees I've ever hired.
He is intelligent, smart and hardworking.
BUT, John is also an habitual liar.
This guy told lies about everything under the Sun and I would have fired him several times if not because he's truly useful for my business.
However over 3 years after I had employed him, John came to my office with a problem he had and he needed my help.
As he talked, my heart was convinced that he really needed my help.
BUT my brain interrupted my heart, "Why do you think that a man who had lied to you 100 times in the past is not lying right now?"
I looked straight to John and told him, "I'm sorry, I think you might be telling the truth right now but there's no way I can trust your words because you've lied to me too many times in the past"
Ok.
This is why I'm telling you this story:
Your attitude in life determines your altitude.
Whether you have good attitudes or bad ones, you're simply doing yourself favour or harm.
Your kindness, honesty or love towards other humans aren't things you do for God but for yourself.
Your lies, cheat or evil aren't things you do to harm other humans.
It might take time but some forms of Karma is real.
Do good not for God, but for yourself.
Be honest, upright and straightforward, not for God, but for yourself.
