Quote or Believe?

This photo reps one of the most commonly spoken out bible verses ever. If you believe in Christ or not, ask yourself this:

Do you honestly believe that you can do all that you want? 
That you can overcome "x" challenge? 
That you can step out and do what you were called to do?

Learned this yesterday from an entrepreneur who has what I want in terms of impact & a platform to help others. 

He said:

"People can quote everything, but believe none of it"

This challenged me.

I can quote, and "pin" and put up a good Facebook status like all of y'all. But the question is, do I really believe it for me? 

Oh, I believe it for you.
But today I had to humbly ask, 'do I believe it for myself too?'

We are all capable of reaching our dreams & goals. All of us. You are. I am. We just are. 

I can quote inspiration all day long & talk to you about being capable. I love it. But do I truly believe it? 

That's called eating humble pie by the way  
(and I promise, it doesn't taste like cherry or pumpkin pie!)

If you have been exposed to Philippians 4:13 before, how many of you have spoken it, but not really, fully trusted the projection? It reads, 

"I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me."

This promise and profession may have helped you through good, bad or ugly times. 
Or you may speak it, but it has no life. You share it with someone, but it has no meaning to you. 

No matter where you are or what you see your future to be...

Here is my challenge & battle cry for you and for myself:

I will be a better believer than quoter
A better doer than sayer
A better achiever than what-if-er
 
The choice is yours.
