“There is nothing wrong with getting things done, but it’s better to make things happen”
Starting a job and finishing it is not to be minimized. It’s a great quality to have and will serve you well always. I do it, you do it and the world is a better place for it. But as great as that is, many times that’s what we do as habit, and even though the job is complete, that was the only thing there that happened.
Enter the idea of making things happen. Those who do this as a way of life energize me, and make me want to be better. I think they energize many who are around them if they’re watching closely. Those who make things happen, know instinctively when something has been talked about enough, and now it’s time for action. But not just “get it done” action. But action to hit the throttle, to do it now, and right, and better than we talked about. That quality lives within all of us, it just needs to be summoned maybe more often to make life better lived when we do.
When we feel very passionate about something, or we finally get that dream job, or when someone new comes into our lives. We feel better than we did before and quietly up our game to not simply be happy with the job complete. But when we make things happen, we want to be the one person, for the one task, that needs to be won.
