I found this on google by searching images with the phrase "spur me on" -Are, in fact, the small inklings ignored instead of encouraged that should "spur on" wonderful life?
I was challenged by an idea (that's right it doesn't take much for me) this morning. The writer said consider the following: "the thing within I fear is the thing to be attempted."
So what is there within me to "fear" - I read a story this morning in our local paper about the outrage of one neighborhood in our city. The people are upset because a private school campus has been purchased for conversion to a homeless shelter. The nerve of the local rescue mission to think the fine folks in this neighborhood could accept this and all the "baggage" that would come to their neighborhood with the shelter. And what could the city council have been thinking??!!##@$#@!!~~?? Here is an editorial link in local paper. Also this article on a recent council meeting.
Yet, I hear nothing of those who would stand for the homeless.
Is this a challenge to "this old heart of mine?" something to ponder...
Is fear an indicator to speak out or take action?
What do you fear?
What takes you out of your comfort zone?
