Five Smooth Stones

Going through the motions will never deliver amazing and transformational results, in your business, your career, nor your spiritual life. To achieve the legal and God-given right to life, freedom and happiness, every assumption, every belief, every habit, and every tradition that has become your experience must be challenged. Our assumptions about the purpose of people and relationships in our lives, our beliefs about who we are and who God is, our habits and routines in the daily navigation of our experience, and the traditions of worship, church, and spirituality should be appraised to ensure they are potent, powerful, and purposeful in bringing the happiness, health and wealth we innately desire.

So what are these smooth stones? These stones are the foundation of our relationship with God. They are the firm truths about God, others, and ourselves we've tested and know for sure. We use them as tools to learn, advance, and propel us to the happiness, health, and prosperity we were created to inherit and experience as children of God. Like David, we use these stones as weapons, against our personal Goliaths; giant challenges, threats and illusions of lack, sickness, and distress whether imposed by others or ourselves. These stones are also reminders of how we've grown and matured from the lessons we've learned through our experiences. We lay these stones down and walk on them on this road of salvation and success.
