Tragedy of Complacency

There is a Tragedy in all of our live that is inevitable if we don't do something about it. It is the ever present enemy of lethargy, apathy, slothfulness...rather known as COMPLACENCY...

Due to our modern understanding and adoption of convenience, we tend to let our minds wander into this deep abyss of stagnation and rarely see the results we dream of.

Convenience has plagued our generation and world; We see an ever increasing amount of convenient stores, Drive through Coffee spots, Hamburger places, everything is in arms length. Although this model is extremely comfortable and easy, there is a danger in only consuming the things that are convenient.

Lets think about it...you rarely find a drive through that you can get a well balanced meal at that serves all of the portions you need, the nutrients you should consume, and at a convenient price. The Majority of these places tend to be restaurants that you actually have to find a parking space, get out of your car, lock your car, go inside, wait for seating, wait for the waiter, order, wait for the food, and finally begin eating...

I submit to you that the things that are the most inconvenient are the things that add great benefit to your life!

It is the absolute plan of the enemy to keep you bound to this place of complacency and to blame everyone but yourself for the lack of results and impact that you know that you can achieve..

Complacency is an enemy that can be beaten with your commitment to discipline: Which is enforced obedience (Definition by Bishop IV Hilliard).

Make a decision that this day will not be another day that you allow comfort to rob you of the greatness inside of you. There is a successful author, business man, family person, pastor, leader, student, etc inside of you... you would see him/her if you would only tear from under the comforter of complacency...
