"The possession itself- the object- will never, alone do anything. An article of wood or metal or glass can achieve nothing. It will never, by itself, plow a field or tend to a sick person or cook a meal. An object can inspire, arouse, prove, encourage, justify, and confirm. It can never produce. It is only by your hand that mind's choices bear fruit....
Intentions are like physical beauty- they mean nothing. At some point one must actually DO something. One's beliefs must become ones works. By your hand you establish evidence for others in the truth in what you believe....
Your actions can not be hoarded or saved for later, or used selectively. By your hand, millions of lives will be altered, caught up in a chain of events begun by you this very day. But the opposite is true as well. Millions of lives are also altered, caught up in an entirely different chain of events if you choose to wait....
You posses the power of choice. Free will. You have been given everything you need to act, but the choice is yours alone. And beginning this very moment, you will choose wisely...."
The point is... do you pledge to do something special with your life?
The Lost Choice. Andy Andrews, 2004, Nelson Books. Nashville, Tennessee.
