Never Give The Same Speech Twice
Do you have your license?
Do you go outside with, or, without it?
At what age did you receive your license?
How much does it cost to renew your license?
Do you like the photo on your license?
Do you use your license all day, everyday?
What license?
Your license to do good.
You saw that one coming didn’t you?
Probably not.
Just So I'd Remember The Conversatio
How big is your vision? No seriously, how big?
We are so tempted to go through our daily motions, and never stretch ourselves in ways we are capable of, but are too afraid to try.
The people who overcome their fear, or at least who attempt to overcome their fear, are the ones who make significant progress in the big issues.
At Chick-fil-A several days ago, I met a foursome of retired Iowans, here in Orlando for the Winter. They work for Wycliffe Associates.
Wycliffe Associates wants to translate the Bible into every language known to man.
What if no one dreamt this big?
What if you don’t dream this big?
My big dream? To help raise enough money to find a cure for an incurable disease.
And yours?
Cloudy Feelings?
After re-reading yesterday’s post, I’m having second thoughts about whether to continue down this path.
Why?
Because it feels like it goes against being humble, and it feels very awkward.
What is driving me, compelling me, to want to share this, is so that you see that I have no special privilege or talent.
I just work really hard. Hard work is the only antidote to life’s challenges.
And even then, it’s not 100% guaranteed.
But one thing is guaranteed. If you don’t try, you will never know.
Ever think about how you prepare for your day?
Going through the motions? Wake up, shower, dress, jump in the car and off we go.
Lemmings. The migratory animals that follow each other and when one jumps off the cliff, the rest follow, one by one.
Humans are like that too. Creatures of habit and heavily influenced by what every one else does.
When will I think for myself and have the courage to not only not jump off the cliff, but to steer clear of the cliff altogether?
