Twice in the first two chapters of the Book of Deuteronomy (1:6 and 2:1), God told His people that they had spent enough time doing nothing or going around in circles. God said to them, “…you have been here, in this position and condition, long enough.”
The Bible teaches us in the Book of Ecclesiastes, that there is a time for everything under the sun. Many people who write me; call me; email me; tell me that they are in a season of waiting. While I recognize the truth that we are to wait on the Lord and be of good courage; I also hear the voice of God saying, “…you have been here, in this position and condition, long enough.”
This is the first year of the new decade, 2010. We are about mid-way through the year, as I write this challenge to you. My question to you is this:
• Are you waiting for the economy to turn around before you start that business you've always wanted? I know Christian Businessmen who started a multi-million dollar business in the midst of the recession and in a down economy.
• Are you waiting for the right circumstances so you can go back to school and get the advanced degree you would like to have? Most people could easily earn an advanced degree (or any degree) just by simply using the time they spend watching TV. Accredited and valuable, online learning has put it within reach of ANYONE.
• Are you waiting for things to slow down at work (or for the children to get older) so you can write the book that's inside of you? The only time things will ever slow down for you is when you're too sick (or too dead) to do anything about it anyway. Go ahead and get started now. Even if you only write a single, measly page a day you'd have your first book done (and maybe part of a second) by this time next year.
• Are you waiting for (fill in the blank) before you do something about (fill in the blank)?
Wait. Wait. Wait. Now is NOT the time to WAIT!
The sooner you take positive action toward your dream, the faster you will be on the road to rising above the current economy or anything else that seems to be holding you back.
Things are tough for some people right now, and according to many experts in the field of economics, they may be getting even tougher.
There is still time in 2010 for you to make this your breakthrough year. One client wrote and told me, “I am on my way to reaching all my goals, just by listening over and over and applying the principles in your teaching series, “The You In You, Discovering Your Personal Greatness.”
Friends, the next six months are going to pass by whether you are working for your dreams or not. Why not make the most of it...visit us at www.theyouinyou.com and order your copy of The You In You Series… because you have been around this mountain, long enough!
