Take the Next Step

Adam Weber

What I’ve found to be true about most game changers, leaders, and difference makers.  What I’ve found to be true about most people are who actually doing something worthwhile… is that they really aren’t that much different than anyone else. They’re human. They often feel inadequate. They’re still trying to figure things out. They have doubts. They don’t always know what they’re doing.

The only difference between them and everyone else is... instead of standing still. They’re simply willing to take the next step.

Instead of being limited by their resources. They take the next step.

Instead of always analyzing… and analyzing some more… and… They take the next step.

Instead of waiting until they have (blank). They take the next step.

Instead of waiting until a decision makes complete sense. They take the next step.

Instead of playing things safe. They take the next step.

Instead of waiting until everyone’s on board. They take the next step.

Instead of being frozen by uncertainty. By fear. They take the next step.

Instead of doing only what they can do on their own. They take the next step.

Instead of walking by sight. They walk by faith and… They take the next step.

Instead of dreaming… and dreaming… and dreaming some more. They take the next step.

Instead of just taking one step. One time. Years back. They take the next step.

Is this true about you?

Are you standing still or are you taking the next step?

Is there a step you’ve been putting off?

One that the Lord is clearly asking you to take?

What’s the next step for you?

Take the next step.

Make the phone call.

Make the big ask.

Submit the proposal.

Apply for the job.

Quit your job.

Have the hard conversation.

Send the email.

Sell the house.

Say “yes”.

Say “no”.

Move forward with the project.

Take the next step.
