ACTion

Action is a very busy word that never stands still. Procrastination is one of the worst forms of arthritis to humanity. First it attacks the individual by seeping into the bones. Having the joints massaged by mediocrity until it becomes hard to get up from doing nothing.

Everything that God called into life is supposed to be about action. The bees make honey, flowers bloom, grass grows, seas roar, trees grow and swing in the air. Each of these things has an action to perform. Movie directors call out “action” to actors when he’s shooting scenes. The name actor is derived from the word act. We have to be a people of action. It is actions that make things happen.

Having a dream is never enough. We must act upon our dreams. Wanting a job is not enough we must act by having a search that leads us to that job. It is by acting that we become.

When you procrastinate by doing nothing you become stagnated. Whatever is not growing is dying. Procrastination is a slow poison, attempting a mercy killing to wipe out your potential.

Remember you were designed by God to be a person of action. Act now. Be a person of action. Follow your dreams by making things happen in life.

"Action may not always be happiness, but there is no happiness without action."Sir Benjamin Disraeli (1804-1881)British prime minister and statesman

"To laugh often and love much, to win the respect of intelligent persons and the affection of children; to earn the approbation of honest citizens and endure the betrayal of false friends to appreciate beauty; to find the best in others; to give of one's self; to leave the world a bit better, whether by a healthy child, a garden patch or a redeemed social condition; to have played and laughed with enthusiasm and sung with exultation; to know even one life has breathed easier because you have lived - this is to have succeeded."
~Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803-1882)
