Do You Live Life Or Think About Living Life?

Human beings think a lot, which is one of the primary differences between us and most animals. Our makeup is also in the image of God (mentally, spiritually, and physically). The  great human capacity of and for perception and rationality (at least in our view) is why we think so much. Thinking can make us better.

All of this sounds great, even wonderful, but our actual results of thinking and reasoning are not always put into practice. No, we think and think and think, yet rarely ever act or do what we have rationally and logically thought about. We think more than we actually live.

In fact, many times even when we do act after extended thought, our actions tend to prove our reasoning faulty. We think and overthink things to extremes, because in the 21st Century World no one wants to publicly or privately take a completely wrong action.  Thus, we compromise our logic and only halfway do what we have thought out - and we screw everything up.

Our thoughts govern our actions most of the time, so this thing called pride (and even self-respect) restrains us far too much. We think about this and that and everything, but never get around to just living as God intended. 

God wants doers, not just thinkers. Do you live life or think about living life?
