Action

I started this post several weeks ago and I was prompted to finish it after hearing two oddly similar church sermons last week here and here. They were both on vision and mission, but the common theme is that to do anything well, you need to continually remind yourself of why you are pursuing that goal and begin moving towards it.

I have a friend who REALLY wants to be successful, but has never made it happen...he keeps waiting for his ship to come in and thinking that the grass is greener on the other side. What I've realized is that anything worth doing is hard and takes continual effort and will probably not happen as quickly or in exactly the way that we would have designed.

The most important part of the equation of excellence is starting. You will always have reasons, and probably good ones, to avoid beginning any worthwhile endeavor. The difference between those who get it done and those who talk about it isn't capability or luck, it's action.

So I'm gonna end this post now and get started...
