The Best Advice I Ever Gave Myself

 
Posted by Eric Speir

A couple of years ago I gave myself the best advice. It’s funny, but I actually gave myself some pretty good advice. Are you ready to hear it?

I was asked by someone about one of my dreams in life. I responded to them that I wanted to be a writer.

After confessing this I said to myself, “Well then, writer’s write!”

That was it! Sounded simple enough.

Do you want me to translate it for you?

Just Do Something!

  • If you want to be writer, then start writing.
  • If you want to be minister, then minister to someone.
  • If you want to be singer, then start singing.
  • If you want to be an artist, then create art.
  • If you want to philanthropist, then give something away.
  • If you want to be a missionary, then take a mission trip this year.
  • If you want to be _________________, then start _________________.

Whatever it is you feel called to do, then start now!

You don’t need an audience to affirm what you’re called to do! Let that thought settle in your head a little bit! Go ahead, read it again!

Question: What can you start doing now?
