Are you leaving your footprints in the sands of time...or your BUTT prints? This question made me laugh because it was one raised in John Maxwell's Minute with Maxwell video today. Today's word? ACTION. 

Here's a summary: "We talk about people who leave their footprints in the sands of time. In other words, where they have been has made a difference. There are a lot of people who are not leaving their footprints in the sands of time; they are leaving their BUTT prints! They are not going anywhere. They are not doing anything. They are not travelling, not helping, and not people of action. They are just sitting on their butts waiting for life to happen to them."

I applaud those of you who are not just sitting on your butts, but you are taking action to change your health for the better. Small steps count! Take encouragement from Job 8:7 "Though your beginning was small, Yet your latter end would increase abundantly." 

I wrote this message for myself many years ago to encourage myself to move forward on my dreams:

"Nothing takes the place of action

Not plans

Not intentions

Not promises

Action is what ultimately matters

So move!"

There are God-given talents for you to increase, spiritual gifts for you to use, places for you to go, and people for you to help. Live beyond yourself. Resolve to leave behind your foot prints in the sands of time, not your butt prints :)
