The 3 Most Difficult Things for Human Beings to Master- Videos

It has been said that the three most difficult things for any person to do are.......well we won't go there yet.

But let's just say that as difficult as what's in the video below is to accomplish, it didn't make the top three:

And as wicked cool as the dude in the video below is, his skills don't even register on the difficulty scale of the human feats we're talking about:

This looks a little tougher, but still not one of the three most difficult tasks for a person to master.

Ok, enough teasing!   As difficult to master as the above human achievements are, their difficulty pales in comparison with the following 3 Human Accomplishments:

1.  To Give Love in Response to Hate

2.  Standing up for those who are not present.

3.  Admitting when you have made a mistake or when you need to change.

Think of how you apply (or don't apply) these core behaviors in your life:

  • Do you respond with kindness when someone won't let you merge lanes in traffic?
  • Do you defend a friend or loved one when someone dogs them in their absence?
  • Do you live in a state of constant self-assessment; willing to make any adjustments to bring your intentions in alignment with God's?

If you can answer "Yes" to any of those questions then congratulations, you've done something more difficult than breaking the world bench press record, beat-boxing on a national level, and balancing the weight of your entire body on the tip of your index finger!

The most amazing aspect of this is that the power to accomplish any of these three tasks lies within every single person on this planet. You do not have to have superior genetics to respond with love, you do not have to have super human strength to stand up for your friends, and you do not have to be an enlightened spiritual guru to make the necessary changes in your life.

The ability to master any of these three tasks is as simple as making a decision; a decision to do it.  God has endowed each of us with a free will; the ability to chose for ourselves what we are to do in this life.  It is in the mastering of this will, in the mastering of ourselves, that we can give all we really have to offer God.  I'm sure He appreciates good beat-boxing like anyone else, but something tells me He'd rather we focus on smiling at the guy who just cut us off in traffic.

What say ye?  Comments welcome as always:)
