There are matters that are too important to ignore or leave to chance. These are salient moments.
The stall.
The pause.
The stammer.
Tentative moments that rob us of the opportunity to see a goal achieved–a dream accomplished.
We have foolishly portrayed inaction as humility.
The stall is when there’s something to be.
Fear sets in. How will I be perceived? Will I be left out there all alone? Maybe I should wait.
The pause is when there’s something to do.
Opportunity knocks but never promises to wait around until we get our robe on, to answer the door. That extra few moments of carefulness often costs us the great blessing of participating.
The stammer.
Yes, there are moments in life when there’s something to say.
It needs to be uttered. It should be shouted from the housetops, but at least whispered in the ear.
But instead of being, doing and saying, the human race trembles with a stall, a pause and a stammer.
This might not even be a problem–except each of us expects more out of life than we’re willing to give. As a result, three nasty spirits inhabit the human heart:
1. “I feel cheated.”
2. “I’m angry.”
3. “No one understands.”
From that defeated position, we attempt to wage a campaign for our common good. It is doomed.
And then, when we realize that the little we have is insufficient, we suddenly discover that even our tiny portion is taken away.
Most people don’t understand life because they only believe in either God or science. But there is a science to God, and there is a Godliness in science. This balance tells us that when you remove the motivation and energy from a creature, it recluses and dies.
Beware the stall, the pause and the stammer. They will make you feel cheated, angry and misunderstood.
So here is your salient moment:
When there is something to be, step into it.
When there is something to do, perform to the best of your ability.
And when there’s something to say, speak up.
