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.
