Everybody has a list of things they want to accomplish. Bucket Lists. Dreams. Goals. Even daily tasks. But not many people chase their dreams or fill their buckets. Most don't even get done what they need to do on a day to day basis. So what separates the Thinker from the Doer? Action. It's so simple; but as acting coach Tom Thon often says, "Simple, but not easy."
I've always been an advocate for "just go for it!" If you dig motorcycles-take a riding course. Feel like learning Nunchucks- get a pair and start practicing. Up for a challenge-do the Warrior Dash. Wanna Hang Glide 4,000ft in the air? Why the heck not?! But those things, although they provide an adequate adrenaline rush, are still incomparable to the fear of following one's dreams. (Or my dreams...I am talking about me as much as I am talking about you here)
Why though? Nunchucks hurt like a @#$%^!. And you could die Hang Gliding...Jus sayin. But what's going to kill you in pursuing your dreams? The risks don't really compare. It's a mental thing. Fear of failure and fear of success. But not only that-doing what it takes to achieve that success. Taking the steps-big and small.
As for me-I no longer want to just be thinking and dreaming. I'm looking for joy in the risks and victory in the challenge..If He is my strength-whom shall I fear?
What are YOU afraid of?
Think. And then Do Something.
