By the work one knows the workmen.
— Jean De La Fontaine
I fully admit it.
I don’t always give it my all at work, at home, at church, in my committments.
I back off.
I slack off.
I take a step and let someone else run with it.
Oh, and the excuses are amazingly boring and overused:
-
I’m tired.
-
I’m overcommitted.
-
The boss (wife, friend, organization) doesn’t appreciate me.
There is a universal urge to give a B effort despite A abilities.
And then there is the Bible with its pesky admonition: “Whatever you do in word or deed, do as unto the Lord.” Col 3.23
And there goes all my excuses. How about you? Comment here.
Please, share with a friend if you feel moved.
