A 1/4 of an inch short

What happens when you’re a quarter inch to short?  We live in an interesting world.  A world not full of originals but copy cats.  Someone has had some success so now everyone has to be just like them.

I love sports and right now all the NFL draft hopefuls are in INDY getting weighed and measured.  Johnny Manziel is one of those being measured.  Johnny is a Heisman trophy winner and was an amazing quarterback at Texas A&M, but there’s a problem.  No it’s not his under age parting, or getting paid for his autograph, or flashing dollar signs after a touchdown.  The big issue is he’s a ¼ of an inch under 6ft.  Someone in some room has decided that if you’re under 6ft you can’t be an NFL quarterback.  Even though the Super Bowl Champion Seattle Seahawks quarterback is 5’10, hmmm.  That doesn’t matter though Johnny just doesn’t measure up. He doesn’t fit someone’s standard.

What do you do when someone says sorry you just don’t cut it?  You’re close but you’re not good enough.  We live in a culture where everyone has an opinion and social media has made it very easy to share it.  We live in a world full of experts but few of those so-called “experts” have achieved what you are trying to achieve. 

You have a choice, will you listen to what someone else says about you, or is what God says about you enough?  Are you going to listen to someone tell you that you can’t live your dream or are you going to fearlessly try to live out the dream God has placed in your heart.

You aren’t a ¼ inch to short.  God made you on purpose, for a purpose and you can live out that purpose no matter what anyone says.  It’s time to mute the experts, it’s time to face your fears, and it’s time to live your dreams.  I know it’s scary, but you aren’t alone God will help you; He placed the dream inside you.


No more excuses, JUST LIVE IT, BE IT, DO IT!
