Mediocrity Is Not An Option

So many people live their life without really making a difference.

That thought literally sends chills down my spine. There’s a fear that creeps up in me that I might be someone who doesn’t make a big impact on this world.

I wish I could back up what I’m about to say with Scripture (and I’m sure I could), but I’m going to be honest. I’m not writing this post because I read something in Scripture. I see so many people walking through life, without trying to create a better world. Sadly, a ton of those are in church leadership.

So many could articulate a better reality, but have no desire to jump in and make it happen.

“I want to be a doctor, but it requires so much school.”
“I know I need a job, but I’m not gonna work at a fast food restaurant!”
“I want to be debt-free, but this last purchase won’t make a big difference.”
“I want to be the best dad I can be, but I can’t beat the addiction.”

If you can’t make your goals and actions align, you’ll lead a mediocre life.
And mediocrity is NOT an option.
