Five frogs are on a log. If four of the frogs decide to jump off how many are left? I'll give you second to think about it...
...
...
The answer? Five. Why? Because there is a big difference between deciding to do something and actually doing it.
People make decisions all the time:
"I need to lose weight"
"I'm going back to school"
"I'm going to stop _________________."
"I'm going to start_________________."
"I'm going to get my relationship right with God"
The issue is that those decisions, often made from a place of need, anxiety, fear, anger, or even excitement or joy, have no real weight to them until they are put into action. It's easy to make grandiose statements about change, look at New Year's Resolutions. It's much harder to commit and act on those decisions (again, look at New Year's Resolutions).
What decisions have you made about your life and what are you doing about them?
