Dare You to Tell Your Family or God?
When my kids are still at young, they would draw stick figures and proudly show it to me. They are proud of their work, that's why they show it to me and ask for compliments. There is an important life lesson behind it.
Have you ever wondered whether your action is right or wrong? I wondered about my actions all the time. My client once overpaid their premium because there is a typo on my invoice. At that time, I needed the money badly for the family. Eventually I choose to refund and informed of my mistakes. The litmus test was do I have the courage to tell my family on what I did? I know I could not tell my family, therefore I know it is something that I cannot do.
Maybe you are a religious person. Do you have the courage to tell God on what you did? If yes, then it is the right thing to do. If no, then maybe you should not do it.
I am not a saint, and I will do anything for the survival of the family. If my kids are starving and the money will make a difference. Obviously, I will take it. As such, I am blessed that I have been tested by life but not to that extreme. And I pray that all my readers, my family and I do not have to face such extreme test.
Whatever that you are going to do. Ask, whether you have the courage to tell your family or God?
