“If you want to be a thief, start stealing.”
Jared Vogel said this; he is one of my devotional Band of Brothers, with whom I meet each week at Panera Bread.
Such a simple, profound thought applies to so many, many human desires and conditions.
If you want to be an explorer, start exploring.
If you want to be generous, start giving.
If you want to be a listener, start listening.
If you want to be a writer, start writing.
If you want to be a lover, start loving.
If you want to be a good neighbor, start being neighborly.
If you want to be more humble, start avoiding recognition.
If you want to be more patient, slow down, wait.
If you want to be a leader, start leading.
If you want to have a Purpose, start thinking and doing things with great intention…Now.
NOTE: please, please feel free to add to this list in Comments! Thank you, Mark.
