I sit and listen to sermons or people espouse about how those who are successful and spent all their energy, resources, brain trust and time achieving their goals and feeling they are not fulfilled and how they are empty and this did not get them what they want. And that we need balance in our lives. Well OK! But you know, I don't like balance. I admire those people who know what they want and go after it. They don't let other people, what they think about them, lack of resources, etc. hold them back. They go all out. Most of the time I am frustrated due to "whatever" holding me back. Many times it is myself. And that is worse. But not all the time. There are many external powers that impose their will and way on me. And I hate that. I so much of the time want to "break out" and just go full tilt to accomplish what I want. These are not bad things. And the consideration that "what does God want" often times just gets in the way. I think that unless I am going after something that is obviously wrong and I'm doing solely for selfish purposes, then God will just take what I am doing and what I accomplish and use it. I get so caught up in, where is this going? Can God use this? What is my motive? Am I in the "will of God?" that it is absolutely paralyzing. So, I think that Satan really uses this to prohibit us from doing things and we become ineffective to God. Who cares what others think or are the stars aligned and is everyone in agreement, etc.? Just Do It!!
