If you wish to reap a crop, you must first cultivate the land, plant the seed, water and fertilize the plant, protect it, and then finally, undertake the harvest. – Glen McQuirk
But in the meantime, keep out those negative thoughts, don’t let them creep in and spoil your harvest….
Having a surf around the net I stumbled across these ‘bravery’ quotes which inspired this cartoon…
“Bravery is the capacity to perform properly even when scared half to death.”
Omar Bradley
Bravery cartoon!
“The bravest are surely those who have the clearest vision of what is before them, glory and danger alike, and yet notwithstanding, go out to meet it.”
Thucydides
Bravery is the capacity to perform properly even when scared half to death.
Omar N. Bradley
I’m a regular reader of Mike Litman’s blog and just had to share his latest post with you. I’ve added a cartoon I drew some time ago…
“You weren’t born to be in this room tonight.”
I said this to the audience of 200 people at a talk I did 2
weeks ago.
There was a few seconds of silence.
Many people starting shaking their heads up and down,
signaling “You’re right.”
“Mike, why did you say this to the audience?”
Good question amigo.
Throughout the night, many individuals were sharing their
stories of financial struggle, being at jobs they couldn’t
stand, and having too many negative people around them.
You, I, WE…we weren’t born to be average.
We weren’t born to strive for mediocrity in life.
Pulled down into Mediocrity - NO WAY!
We weren’t born to spend our lives at jobs we can’t stand.
When I said to the audience, “You weren’t born to be in this
room tonight”, here’s what I was really saying.
You were born for GREATNESS.
You were born to accomplish.
You were born to have fun, be happy, serve others, and be
fulfilled.
You weren’t born to struggle unnecessarily.
Yes, I’m all for improving yourself and going to seminars.
I’ve been working on myself for years.
What I was getting across to them and now to you is this.
Make your move. Now.
“Pain is temporary. It may last a minute, or an hour, or a day, or a year, but eventually it will subside and something else will take its place. If I quit, however, it lasts forever.”
We have learned that God’s call to service doesn’t always mean full-time work in missions or ministry; it just means full-time service to God wherever we are. Did I hear God’s call? Did I feel it? Is it in a still, small voice? Is it a dramatic event? Or is it just a feeling? I believe it can be all of the above.
When commissioning cartoons… Pick TWO of the three options!
Good+Fast = Expensive Choose this and I’ll postpone every other project on my drawing board, my round of golf or give up my footy match ticket and work day and night to get your job done. It WILL NOT BE CHEAP though!
Good+Cheap = Slow Choose good and cheap and I’ll still do a great job at a discounted price. But you’ll have to be patient while I fit you in after my higher paying clients, updating my web site, going down the gym, my footy matches, rounds of golf and liquid lunches!
Fast+Cheap = Inferior Choose this option at your peril. It will still be delivered on time but it will be inferior, as many corners as possible will be cut. You know the saying ‘You get what you pay for!’ The least favorable option in my opinion!
