"All hard work brings a profit, but mere talk leads only to poverty." -- Proverbs 14:23

How many good ideas have you had in your life?  How many good intentions you carried only to be weighed down by them?  Often, the difference between people who have impact and people who don't is that those who have it act on their ideas and intentions.  Most don't though.  Most people fear failing to the point that it's safer just not to try.  These are the ones who regret later in life.  What do you feel God is calling you to do... that you would do if you weren't so afraid?  Examine the fear.  Is it warranted?  Is it keeping you from living the life God intends for you?  Pray to overcome that fear today, and live your life.
