Today is the day to make a choice. Do you want to take on that mission? It’s time to stop the endless contemplation, the excessive planning, and the years of training. Do you genuinely want to go on this journey or not? Your constant excuses about lack of education, wealth, or connections reveal a deeper truth: you lack the true passion required to take action. While you may believe you want to do these great things, your lack of genuine concern and commitment is obvious. The mission lingers in the back of your mind, nagging you relentlessly. It’s time to make a decision and fully embrace that calling.
It is time to move on from the childish, ignorant daydreaming about some glorious, undefined purpose. It is time to put both feet on the ground and think about how you intend to do the works of Him who sent Jesus. What can you do with your current level of knowledge, training, wealth, and connections? What action can you take today, right now? Remember the parable of the talents (Matthew 25:14-30), where the master deemed the servant wicked and slothful for failing to utilize his talent. The master considered the servant worthless.
You don’t need to wait for something big, perfect, big, revered, or amazing. You can start moving forward with the mission today. When you decide to start, you have a plethora of options at your disposal. You can start with the smallest project possible, gather resources, and complete a small project. Alternatively, you can start by working for a company whose mission and values are similar to yours. You could also volunteer at a nonprofit (part-time) that is already doing work related to your mission. If you are serious about work, you will always find something you can do.
