IT IS NOT WHAT YOU HAVE; IT'S WHAT YOU DO WITH WHAT YOU HAVE:


By John Mason

Few dreams come true by themselves. The test of a person lies in action. No one ever stumbled onto something big while sitting down. Thomas Edison said it best, "Opportunity is missed by most people because it is dressed in overall and looks like work".

Even a mosquito doesn't get a slap on the back until he starts to work. A famous anonymous poem states, "Sitting still and wishing makes no person great, the good Lord sends the fishing, but you must dig the bait. "
Nothing is learned while you talk. Words without actions are the assassins of dreams. The smallest good deed produces more than the greatest intention.

History is made whenever you take the right action. Action is the proper fruit of knowledge. You earn respect only by action; inaction earns disrespect.

You'll find life an empty dream if you put nothing into it. Every time one person expresses an idea, he finds ten others who thought of it before-but took no action. Idea times nothing equals nothing. It takes work.

The longer you only talk about an idea, the less likely you are to actually do it. One way to wear out a friendship is to continually talk about your "BIG" idea. It's time to put feet to your dreams!

START WITH WHAT YOU HAVE; DON'T WAIT ON WHAT YOU DON'T HAVE.

You already have been given what you need to begin to create your future. Don't find yourself saying, "If only I had this. ....If only this were different. .....If only I had more money, then I could do what I supposed to do. "People always overstate the importance of things they don't have. Never let what you think you can't do keep you from doing what you can do. Prolonged idleness paralyzes initiative, becaus e to the hesitant mind, everything is impossible because it seems so.  Don't wait for special circumstances to act; use ordinary situations. We don't need more strength, ability or greater opportunity. Use what you have. Everyone must row with the oars they have been given. In His Service Robert Ogema www.robertogema.blogspot.co.ke
