\"\"We live in a world going faster and faster.\u00a0 More of us are in motion most of the time.\u00a0 We\u2019re hooked up, connected, and in the mainstream, but please don\u2019t let the activity deceive you.<\/p>\n

There\u2019s a big difference between endless, mindless activity and meaningful, passion-driven action.<\/p>\n

To know the difference, let me ask you these questions: Are you sleepwalking through your life? <\/strong> Are you on autopilot?\u00a0 Are you simply doing things because you\u2019ve always done those things?\u00a0 Are you doing them the way you\u2019re doing them because it s always the way you\u2019ve seen them done? Are you going with the flow, so to speak, running hard, but making little progress?<\/p>\n

Do you find yourself being critical of new ideas and movements simply because to embrace them would require that you move; move from your stated assumptions to a disruptive view that would cause you to interrupt your steady flow of cash, love, attention, whatever benefit you need?<\/p>\n

Let this serve as your wake-up call to be disruptive, to wake up and not just smell the coffee but see the amazing opportunity <\/strong>lying at the feet of ordinary people.<\/p>\n

In the past, the average life in America was spent punching the clock, following the crowd, and fitting in.\u00a0 But no more.\u00a0 It\u2019s time to wake up and think, to ponder and consider, to imagine a new future. <\/strong> The future will reward men and women who are inventive, innovative, and willing to disrupt in order to create a new, better company, business, church, even family.<\/p>\n

Waking up can be scary, but sleeping is like being dead.\u00a0 If I have to choose, I\u2019ll choose the chaos of\u00a0 new life over the sameness of death.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
