Your success depends only on yourself. I Like studying the Bible. “I can apply important lessons from the bible towards my personal and professional life. I want to share an example from the Book of Ruth. As I studied her story, I thought - what an extraordinary woman!” To summarize, the story tells the tale of three windows who were left alone in a foreign country. And among these widows was Ruth. The life of the widows and still without children was very difficult, because during that time, women depended on men for everything. The laws gave very little protection to women. From birth they were poorly received. They were considered only as objects and property of men. They were the property from her husband, if married; Father’s property, if single; Property of the unmarried brother-in-law, if widowed without children. Like this/Thus belonging to their owner, they couldn’t have the salary from their work/afford the wages of their labor. Hearing the situation in Judah was better, Naomi decided to return and told to her daughters-in-law to go back to their parents’ house, since they had nobody else to take care of them. But we see during the story that Ruth firmly decided to follow her mother-in-law wherever she went. Ruth didn’t se yourself refain of the changes tha she will need to do/Ruth wasn’t hostage to the changes he had to make. Leave her parents, her culture and country... She left everything behind and decided to leave/to go. She didn’t settle with the present and decided to build a wonderful future. She completely abandoned past relationships. With this, we can learn that: our future must to be conquered by ourselves. If we think it’s just sitting and waiting for the dreams to happen, we’d better forget that. If we want something different we have to take different actions. And these attitudes demand change. Mike Murdock, in the book “31 Secrets of an Unforgettable Woman says: people from your past will rarely be part of your future, because bringing people from the past into the future is like using old wineskin for new wine, that is, it will not work! What do you need to change? Would be something in yourself or maybe a change of place / Is it something in yourself or maybe a change of location? Did you ever stop to think that / Have you stopped to think that a lot of things are not working and it doesn’t thrive because we simply settle with the life we lead? Get up and go in searching of your dream. There are wonderful plans waiting for you.
