You ever watch someone or see something and think, "I could do that!" or even "I can do better than that!"
I tend to get that way often when watching certain television shows. I am amazed sometimes that people are making top dollar or getting famous off of something that I totally could do myself.
And then I get to thinking, "Well, if I had their money, I could do this..." or "Well, if I had their connections I could do that..." or even "If I just had a bit more free time I could sit down and accomplish this..." The dreams and visions just swirl in my brain.
There's one big difference between myself and those folks: I'm watching them, and they're doing them.
God has made all of us beautifully unique. We all have special gifts, talents, and purposes that only we as individuals can fulfill. Yet, often we get so caught up in the shine and the glitter of somebody else's life, that we pay little attention to our own.
We can all day-dream, wish, and hope that one day we'll reach our golden palace. Yet sometimes we have to turn off the dreams and jump into reality. Our dreams will continue to stay dreams if we don't put some action behind them. We can believe all we want that we can be great, but if we don't actually start being great, we just have a really great imagination.
Think about it, how much time do you spend each day working on your own purpose? What gets accomplished on a regular basis that ensures that your purpose in life is going to be achieved? Do you even take time at all to work on yourself?
If someone looks at you, do they feel inspired? Are they driven to be better and do better than you (in a good way)? Or, do they even consider you at all when they think of success?
Just some thoughts as you kick off your brand, spanking new week. Let's fill it with some actual progress, folks! We can do it!
Verse of the Day: For as the body without the spirit is dead, so faith without works is dead also. James 2:26
