NIKE IS RIGHT - JUST DO IT

Whatever you can do or dream you can, begin it. Boldness has genius, power and magic in it! — Goethe

There is power in the FIRST STEP.

How many times have you had a great idea, but just let it sit in the stagnating pool of sludge in your brain, until it grows fungus, and becomes part of the sludge?

I have done that too many times to count. My journal is full of ideas gathering cobwebs.

Sometimes I feel like I don’t’ have the resources to begin something. Like I don’t have enough knowledge, talent or skill.

I heard Steve Sjogren talk about the “French Method of Teaching/Learning” one time. He was talking in terms of applying it to Evangelism, but I think it might just be applicable here too. Here is how it goes:

DO the “thing” that you want to do

Regroup and TALK about the “thing” you did

RESEARCH the reasoning behind why you did the “thing”

Here in the states, we get together and Talk about what we want to do…we research and find out all the reasoning and methods and ways to do what we want to do.

We spend a lot of time in research and talking,
AND NEVER DOING THE THING WE DESIRE TO DO.

The French folks (if the model is still in use)…

DO THE THING FIRST.

Then talk about it, and research it.

BE BOLD!

DO THING THING YOU WANT TO DO.

TAKE A STEP!

DON’T FALL INTO THE PARALYSIS OF ANALYSIS!!!!
