Do you give your full effort?

Do you give your full effort?

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.
