✅✅✅ Here's what's on the agenda today:

Get your running shoes, tie your laces, and secure your water bottle because there is no procrastination today.

In Genesis 43, there was a famine in Canaan, and Jacob’s sons were buying food from Egypt. At this point, Joseph was the big dog in Egypt, but his brothers did not know. Plus, Joseph had said only to come back to Egypt and buy more food if they brought Benjamin with them.

Jacob was hesitant to send Benjamin, as Benjamin was his favourite son, and he did not want anything to happen to him after he thought he had already lost his first son, Joseph.

In the midst of this, Judah says, “If we had not delayed, we would now have returned twice.” (Gen 43:10)

I love this because if we had the discipline and courage to start a business, a course, or a diet two months ago, it would have returned twice by now.

This highlights that we are often our own biggest obstacle and the greatest barrier to our success. It’s not that God is unwilling to bless us; rather, we’re unwilling to take action. The “if we” mentality points to this self-imposed barrier.

If we had not delayed, second-guessed ourselves, or hesitated on the business, the gym, the course, the class, or the work – we would have returned twice.

Someone’s miracle is on the other side of your action.

Make today a day of action. Do. Not. Delay.

🔑🔑🔑 Key takeaways:

• We are often our biggest enemies.

• Procrastination will hold you back from the blessing.

• action, Action, ACtion, ACTion, ACTION!
