“I used to be afraid of failing at things that matter but now I’m afraid of succeeding at things that don’t.“ – Bob Goff
I heard this statement today and was struck at the importance of it. I think back on all of the times that fear kept me from doing things that were really important. My fears like…
- “Someone else is more qualified.”
- “Who do I think I am anyway?”
- “I could never do that.”
- “I’m not smart enough.”
And the list goes on and on and on and….
I tend to put my time into things that shout the loudest for my attention but they are not 
always the best things. There are a lot of good things out there but what is the best way to spend my time? At the end of my life am I going to be satisfied with those things I succeeded in or will I wished I had “gotten out the boat” and lived my life the way, deep down inside, I knew God had called me to?
What are things that are most important? What will last into eternity? These are the things I need to strive to be successful in.
