Awaiting PERFECT circumstances
and conditions translates to being stuck in the proverbial mud. Perfect
never happens. One must learn to
move out and move on into the acceptable, the good realm, ready to make a
realistic effort, instead of waiting for a
state of perfection.
Thoughts from a small daily devotional book I read illustrate the point.
Instead of saying, “It’s not my
job,” say “I’ll be glad to take that responsibility.”
Instead of saying, “We’ve never
done that before,” say “We have the opportunity to be first.
Instead of saying, “There’s not
enough time,” say “We’ll change how we work.”
Instead of saying, “We’re
under-staffed,” say “We’re a lean, hungry team.”
Instead of saying, “It’ll never get
any better,” say “We’ll try one more time.”
Instead of saying, “I can’t,” say
“By God’s grace, I can!”
