Measure Twice, Cut Once

Carpenters and builders have learned to avoid making mistakes the hard way, thereby ruining valuable and cost materials. So, the saying about measuring twice and cutting once plays a major role when it comes to cutting a piece of wood. Measuring twice means making sure that one has thought of all the things that could go wrong before acting or making a decision. We are building marriages, families and children, so in actuality we are building “Relationships.” Everything we do, everything that we are involved in, deals with a person. Most of the people we come in contact with are either hurt, disappointed, unloved and have formed their own reality about life. The problem is everyone is looking for unconditional love, but at the same time carrying a bag full of conditions. We all must measure the things that are attached to our lives, so we can make the proper assessments. If truth be told, something’s in our lives should have been cut off long time ago. We often make permanent decision based off of temporary emotions. Most people’s wounds will never heal because they rather have the attention of the issue, than the freedom of being whole. If you focus on the problem more than trying to find the solution, you will always remain stuck.
