| Introduction | If you are not working your passion,you are wasting God's time. Get a grip! All my life I thought I want to be an engineer, so I traveled down that road. God had a different plan for me. After God took me through several job changes from 1985-1991, I became an educator. I finally understood the Curly Principle. You may recall the movie "City Slickers" from a while back starring Billy Crystal and Jack Palance. In it, we observed the story of a man (Crystal) who because of a midlife crisis decides to go out with some buddies and rustle cattle for a week. Curly (Palance), the trail boss to whom they report, really seems to have his head together, and Crystal's character keeps asking him what the secret is. Curly's only reply is to hold up his index finger and say, "One thing." Finally in frustration, Crystal asks, "Well, what is that one thing?" To which Curly replies, "That's what YOU have to figure out...No one can do it for you." Be passionate about one thing - then work your passion. Luke 11:34 "therefore when thine eye is single, thy whole body also is full of light' (KJV) |
