God Is Not Responsible For Your Mediocrity

Every day I talk to people who are on some path towards success (or want to be).

Some are sprinting; some are jogging. Some are walking; some are standing still.

About once per week, I ask someone who’s stuck (the walkers and stand-still folks) what their “plan” is to get moving.

“God will make a way for me.”

This is a common refrain I hear from people who are without a plan nor strategy for achievement.

So they default to what sounds good and (seemingly) can’t be challenged: God.

I mean, how much of an ass do you have to be to question GOD???

I’m not questioning God.

I’m questioning YOU, and your use of God as a crutch.

Talk to 10 homeless people in your city. Ask them if they believe in God.

I’d bet 70% of them say yes.

So why are they homeless and you’re not? Are they lying about their belief in God?

Find someone who’s making 10x more money than you or is 10x further ahead than you. Do they believe in God 10x more than you?

Here’s the inconvenient truth: After age 18, choices and actions make ALL the difference between us.

THIS is what separates one person’s outcomes from the next.

God does not control your choices and actions.

YOU do.

God granted you life and free will to do as you wish.

You can be happy and healthy.

You can be a criminal.

You can be loving and positive.

You can be negative and nasty.

You can do everything.

You can do nothing.

Your choice.

You are where you are right now because of your choices and subsequent actions. Where you end up tomorrow and next year will be because of YOU — not God.

I know a lot of highly successful people, those in the top 10% of income earners in America (that’s $140,000+ per year).

None of them has ever told me that God created their business plans, crafted their sales funnels, or closed any of their deals.
