Get it done
+++++++++++++++++++

Achievers concern themselves with excellence, but do not obsess over perfection. Things get done by doing them in the real world, not by putting them off until conditions are perfect.

In the time you spend worrying about whether or not to do something, it could have been done. In the time you spend worrying about whether it’s the perfect time to get going, you could already be far ahead.

By all means plan clearly and carefully, then go ahead and take action. Though things will not go perfectly, you’ll certainly be able to handle whatever bumps in the road you may encounter.

Achievement and excellence are built not by fearing the mistakes, but by confidently handling the mistakes and the surprises that come along. The will to succeed includes the willingness to live with the very real possibility that things can go wrong.

Excellence is built by working though the challenges. Often those challenges are different than what you imagined, yet you have the ability to learn, to adapt, to adjust and to prevail.

Go beyond merely dreaming and planning and speculating about the ideal way to reach your goal. Make use of whatever you have available to get it done.

Ralph Marston

Quick Thought:

“Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and comes down from the Father of lights, with whom there is no variation or shadow of turning. Of His own will He brought us forth by the word of truth, that we might be a kind of firstfruits of His creatures.” James 1:17-18 (NKJ)

Mark 10:17-22

“And as He (Jesus) was setting out on a journey, a man ran up to Him and knelt before Him, and began asking Him, “Good Teacher, what shall I do to inherit eternal life?”

“And Jesus said to him, “Why do you call Me good? No one is good except God alone. You know the commandments, ‘Do not murder, do not commit adultery, do not steal, do not bear false witness, do not defraud, honor your father and mother.’”

“And he said to Him, “Teacher, I have kept all these things from my youth up.” And looking at him, Jesus felt a love for him, and said to him, “One thing you lack: go and sell all you possess, and give to the poor, and you shall have treasure in heaven; and come, follow me.”

“But at these words his face fell, and he went away grieved, for he was one who owned much property.” Mark 10:17-22 (NAS)

John 5:24-27

“Truly, truly, I say to you, he who hears My word, and believes Him who sent Me, has eternal life, and does not come into judgment, but has passed out of death into life.”

“Truly, truly, I say to you, an hour is coming and now is, when the dead shall hear the voice of the Son of God; and those who hear shall live.”

“For just as the Father has life in Himself, even so He gave to the Son also to have life in Himself…”

“…and He gave Him authority to execute judgment, because He is the Son of Man.” John 5:24-27 (NAS)
