Are you a Thinker, or a Doer?
Yes, you can be both. The challenge that most people that I know have is that they THINK they are both, but they are not. Most people like to say either that they are Doers, or that they Think first, and then Do.
The reality I have seen with most people is that they live their lives saying, “Ready, aim, aim, aim, …”
They never Fire. Or they rarely Fire. Or they wait too long to Fire. Sometimes, by the time they finally decide to Fire, the Target has moved.
The girl you had a crush on for years just got married.
The position at work she wanted more than anything just got filled…by the Boss’ son.
The Faith Walk that he was going to get “around to” one day never happened because his heart stopped working without warning. (My doctor informed me that about half of all fatal heart attacks have zero warning signs!)
When I wrote my book, I wanted to get the point across that we are not promised our next breath. As a result, we should all be about the business of living our lives with a Strong Sense of Urgency. This is true in every area of our lives:
Faith
Relationships
Money
Career, and
Health.
I can hear some of you now saying, “But, Scott, you do not understand. I am scared to take action in the _______ area.”
ACTION CURES FEAR.
“But, Scott, this is not the perfect time to do _______.”
THE PERFECT TIME WILL NEVER COME.
“But, Scott, I am really focused on doing this other thing. I will get around to that other item later.”
Maybe you will. Maybe you will not. Maybe you are just using that as an excuse to procrastinate because you are afraid…
…of Failure.
…of what other people will think.
…of being called weird, crazy, or a Big Dreamer.
To that last point, hear what Johann Wolfgang von Goethe once said:
“Dream no small dreams for they have no power to move the hearts of men.”
Ladies and gentlemen, let me be the voice that you need to hear today. As I am concerned that some of you will not get a subtle message, please allow me to be rather blunt:
Get off your rear end and GO DO SOMETHING! Even if you do it wrong. Even if you are bad at it to begin. Even if people laugh at you, or call you crazy, or say that you are believing in a Pipe Dream.
Do it with a Strong Sense of Urgency. Quit waiting for the perfect time. NOW is the time. Go for it.
I believe in you!
