You were not created
to sit dormant.
You were designed
to activate,
create,
move
and impact.
USE YOUR POWERS TO ACTIVATE
Activate.
Defined simply, it means to make something happen, turn something on or get it going.
Human beings already possess automatic activation systems.
We wake up.
Attend to the body.
Begin our day.
Life naturally pulls us into movement.
But we also possess another power…
the ability to consciously activate other things too.
POWER STANDING BY
What will you do today besides read this posting and agree with it?
Agreement is a good start…
but activation changes realities.
Today, people will come and go, start things, stop things, build things and affect outcomes simply because all life operates within this powerful dynamic.
CYCLES
We begin, maintain and complete hundreds of things every single day.
Nature does it.
Animals do it.
The Universe itself moves in cycles and rhythms advancing its purposes continuously.
Everything contributes from its point of origin according to its design and purpose.
That is its part.
WHERE TO BEGIN?
You can decide today to become a better person.
To pursue virtue.
To care for your neighbor.
To go the extra distance in whatever you do.
To exceed even your own expectations.
There are far fewer boundaries than people imagine…
most are self-imposed.
IMAGINE BEYOND
Some people today will buy cars.
Others will repair them.
Some will invest.
Travel.
Learn.
Create.
Share.
Prosper.
Take risks.
Try things they once feared.
And all because we possess the ability to ACTIVATE whatever we choose.
Think about that power for a moment.
TURN IT ON!
Interestingly enough, the human resting state resembles a form of deactivation.
Stillness.
Minimal movement.
Minimal output.
Yet from that quiet state, we are capable of suddenly shifting into incredible action and purpose.
It appears humanity was designed TO DO.
To begin.
To start.
To activate.
DRUG OF CHOICE
Once a person activates purpose, movement and intention, something else begins happening internally.
Energy appears.
Momentum increases.
Motivation rises.
It behaves almost like a drug…
except this one was meant to be taken.
And in large doses too.
SATISFACTION
The moment we begin something meaningful, another cycle quietly activates.
The desire to complete what was started.
At first the payoff is small.
Then it grows during the process.
And finally, near completion, it explodes into what we call satisfaction.
Deep personal fulfillment.
Ahhhhhhhhhh…
FULFILLMENT
This is the fulfillment of wishes, needs and expectations combined with the awareness that we ourselves participated in bringing it all about.
That feeling is powerful.
It is almost as though we were created to co-create…
to share in the rewards of involvement and completion according to each person’s unique journey and satisfaction.
THE GIFTING AT WORK
And the amazing part?
This dynamic is free.
Available on almost every level of life.
And repeatable endlessly while we are here.
Look around.
We choose how to dress.
What to eat.
Where to live.
What to drive.
How to spend our time.
These are gifts of activation already operating within everyday life.
I’M BUYING
The other day I placed two slices of bread in my backyard.
Later they were gone.
Some creature somewhere got a break in its daily routine.
Maybe even its offspring too.
For one brief moment…
I changed another life’s outcome.
Hey…
my treat.
COMMAND THE CIRCUMSTANCE
We can do the same for one another.
Courtesy.
Manners.
Cooperation.
Encouragement.
These simple activations can completely alter someone’s day.
And if we withhold them?
We leave the outcome to chance.
Why not direct it toward something better instead?
IN HIS IMAGE
This is the role we play.
Learn to play it well.
The power to activate…
to turn something on…
to awaken potential…
to trigger movement…
to create function and return…
has been given to us because the Giver of this dynamic does it continuously without end.
And those made in His image were meant to share in it.
All I can say is thank you…
and may I do my part well.
Because it is His will…
that we do.
