I was talking to a good friend of mine about “Potential” and the act of “Service” and as a result I came away from our conversation with a theory or notion that may make something that may have been obscure at one time now a little bit more clear.
I simply asked the question of if we had only one swing at bat would we give it an average effort and swing for the dugout, or would we give it our absolute best shot and swing for the fences?
After pondering this question for a few seconds we both agreed that the obvious answer would be the latter, I mean who wouldn’t want to swing for the fences, right? Well, I invite you to take out the baseball in this analogy scenario and insert “Life”.
What if I told you that we only get one shot at this “Life” thing, would the answer to the question of what would you do with it be as obvious as the previous scenario? Well then, surprise, surprise, surprise… We only get one shot at this life and one body to do it with, no repeats or do-overs allowed.
Reaching our highest “potential” and making the absolute best use of our talents and gifts in “service” to others should be the ultimate goal for all of us because of course no one would ever intentionally just aim for the dugout of average and mediocrity right? Are would they? Hmmm…
So a good question today to jump-start your week with is, “What are you doing with those God-given talents and gifts these days?” Are you actively involved in your “Highest and best use” or just your “Highest and best excuse”?
I would trust that your answer to this question is one that leads you to Making it GREAT!
AWESOME WEEK FRIENDS!!!
