A
thought by Erwin Raphael McManus from his book, Chasing Daylight: Seize the Power of Every Moment (Kindle Locations
2494-2495). Kindle Edition.
So
true but we sure do like to try. So much
we try to do sitting in our office or in front of the TV. We know we can make a difference. We have the talent, the ability and the
idea. We are going to do it. We have the play, the plan we just don’t have
the drive to break the huddle and go for it.
What
is it that is keeping you from doing “it”, whatever “it” is in your life? What is it?
There is something that you use as a reason or should I say an excuse
for not starting. Stop for a moment and
come to grips with that specific reason and then set it aside and go for “it”. Make it a stepping stone not a stopping
place. If it’s a closed door to you open
it up or knock it down. Don’t let it
stop you.
Like
in football, they get a penalty and lose some ground or they get tackled for a
loss so they get in their huddle, come up with another play and then try
again. They don't get in the huddle and think
about what went wrong. They can’t change
that but they can get another play and try again. The key is to not look back but to look
forward. Their goal line is down the
field and that is where they must be focused.
Also
notice the game is not won on one play but a series of plays and a series of
games. It is won by keeping at it. So keep at it. Huddle some then break the huddle and then go
for it and do it over and over till you reach your goal. But you do have to eventually break the
huddle and go for it.
So
are you still in the huddle or are you going for “it”?
