Clarence Thomas had a beautiful message for young people. One key takeaway is to cultivate your garden. High ambition to “change the world” is maybe noble, but you should focus instead on achieving something locally. Care about your neighbors and that virtue will ripple up to the nation as a whole.
“Everyone wants to change the world. Nobody wants to help Mom do the dishes.” P.J. O’Rourke
I remember hearing an interesting sermon based on John 21, where Jesus appeared to the disciples as they were fishing.
One moral of this: if in doubt GO TO WORK. It’s fine to seek the divine, etc, but unless and until you are directly instructed to to otherwise, get your butt up Monday morning and get about your business, be productive, be doing what your are supposed to be doing; if the Lord wants to get your attention to give you other instructions He is perfectly capable of doing so!
“Care about your neighbors and that virtue will ripple up to the nation as a whole.”
