“As through life you ramble, whether you rock or roll; Keep your eye on the doughnut and not upon the hole.”
Has this ever happened to you? Your attention has its focus highjacked by what is lacking in a given situation. Your emotional energy has been detoured by something missing or made suddenly absent in your life – a job, a team member, an opportunity, a quality of life, a personal state of health? Something has happened, and you see and feel the hole, not the doughnut?
The old saying is, “What you see is what you get.” I can testify that sometimes it’s what you don’t see that gets you. And the distraction must be addressed.
A verse that helps me?
“Let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us, fixing our eyes on Jesus, the pioneer and perfecter of faith” (Heb 12:1-2).
The Bread of Life is far more nourishing than the doughnuts of this world!
