How To Make Things Work For You, Not Against You

Talking about what you want, what you are going to do, it is not enough. It is not going to take you to where you want to go. Talk is cheap. But it doesn’t have what you are looking for. It can’t give you growth. It can’t help you get better. It can’t lift you up.

If you just talk, then you are going to remain where you are. But if you take action, you are a moving boat. You are a ‘sailboat.’ You are not ‘a stationary sailboat.’ You are moving closer to your dream. You are challenging yourself. You know what you want. And you are working to make it happen.

You know that no one is going to make it work for you. You are not waiting for people to give you permission. You are already on your way to where you want to be. You do not have time to waste anymore. You are already making a difference with people who are changing the world, who are changing their lives.

If you want growth to come to you, you must do what growth wants. Because growth is not going to happen if you don’t want to work. If you want to work, growth will come to you. But if you do not want to work for what you want, you are just wasting your time.

Don’t do that to yourself. You have what it takes to change your life, to change your world. But if you don’t put yourself to work, nothing is going to work for you. Remember that ‘faith that isn’t experiencing by doing what it has learned is a boat tied to the dock.’

You are not ‘tied to the dock!’
