News, Visionaries | January 16th, 2007
Talk, talk, talk and more talk. Everyone talks about change. Like the armchair quarterbacks, they’re usually talking from the sidelines of life, gossipping, criticizing and complaining about what everyone else is doing or not doing. Yet there are two main differences between the armchair quarterback watching football and a well-meaning person being a spectator in today’s world.
1) We’re all in this game called life. Everyone is a player, like it or not; yet so much of our team is on the sidelines, watching, cheering, whining, commenting on those who are on the field. Can you imagine a football team where most of the team is not just “on the bench,” but at home watching the game on TV? Can you imagine a team whose players don’t dare even play? They might contribute some money or vote on team decisions, but when it comes time to get down and dirty and play… they’re nowhere to be found. Except you. You’re here to play, and you cannot deny it. Life lived from the sidelines would be death for you.
2) The armchair quarterback acts as if his yelling at the TV will make a difference, yet there is nothing he can do to affect the results of the game. We, as human beings in the game of life, often act as if our ideas or our voice won’t make a difference, yet everything we choose to do or not do affects the results of the game.
The game clock is ticking… A mulititude of crises threaten our children’s future… Everything we value is on the line…
Are you on the field?
