采取主动(之三)

Apr 16, 2024

“不要惊慌…… 你们的上帝耶和华必带领你们。”(申命记1:29-30)

采取主动要留意两件事情:一、采取主动就会关掉惧怕之门。我们都有惧怕。问题在于我们是抑制惧怕,还是让惧怕辖制我们?诺曼·文森特·皮尔(Norman Vincent Peale)说:“行动是信心的伟大重修者和建造者。无所作为不仅是惧怕的结果,也是惧怕的起因。你所采取的行动可能会带来成功,也许接着你还要采取不同的行动或做出调整。但采取任何行动都强于不作为。”为了有机会获取所渴望的东西,你必须做出努力。没有什么比拖着一项没有完成的任务更令人沮丧和耗费精力了。我们对事情越是放任自流,就越是覆水难收。最难的工作通常是由许多容易的事情累积起来的,而这些事情本来应该是昨天、上周或上个月就该完成的。除掉艰巨任务的方法就是行动起来!二、采取主动会打开机遇之门。采取主动并做出努力的人有可能成功,也有可能失败。但任何不主动的人注定会失败!因此,你应该求问上帝:“我必须做出决定吗?有什么问题是我应该解决的吗?有我需要开始的项目吗?有我需要设立并努力的目标吗?有我需要抓住的机会吗?”所罗门写道:“你若等待完美的天气,必无法撒种,无法收割。”(传道书11:4)你对事情有百分之八十的把握就开始,比等到有百分之百的把握才开始会更好,因为到时也许就错失良机了。
