Doing Good Where We Are

How often we flatter ourselves with the delusion that we would be much better if we were only somewhere else, and that we would do much better if some other tasks were ours. The place some one else is filling, the work that some one else is doing, looks easy and comfortable compared with our own. But if we would only stop to think one minute, we would know that it is distance that makes the difference. If I am not doing good and being good where I am, there isn't one chance in a hundred that I will ever be good or do good anywhere, unless I get to be a different man from what I am now; and that change that will set me at doing my task well may be made now just as well as any time.—The Christian Guardian.
