I was giving a fun fact in a group I’m in. The fact was “orange helps a person get to the goal of the project”. One lady’s response was, “Even if you don’t like the color?”
The color can’t help you if you don’t actually utilize it. This lady here can’t have orange be helpful if she doesn’t include it somewhere within her life, even if it’s just a pair of socks she wears on fun Saturdays.
This can be applied to a person’s faith, talent, or other self-awareness/improvement method going forward. If you’re not actually utilizing the idea or the belief or the talent or the need to be different, then you won’t actually get the aid you’re seeking. You won’t necessarily go forward in any of these ways.
You must take some sort of action to get results. Even if you stumble a time or two or twenty as you are doing the new thing and learning how to do it better, you must still take the action. Life needs a little more participation on your part sometimes.
