Passion must be born of knowledge, with the understanding that knowing is not enough. We must also be willing; with the realization that despite all of our enthusiastic inclinations, we will produce nothing but dreams and fantasies without action and effort on our part. We must learn to move with a tempered urgency, so that our aspirations are not consumed by panic or dissolved in the morass of lethargy. ~ Marty Guderian Stevenson Don’t begin until you count the cost. For who would begin construction of a building without first calculating the cost to see if there is enough money to finish it? Otherwise, you might complete only the foundation before running out of money, and then everyone would laugh at you. They would say, ‘There’s the person who started that building and couldn’t afford to finish it! Or what king would go to war against another king without first sitting down with his counselors to discuss whether his army of 10,000 could defeat the 20,000 soldiers marching against him? And if he can’t, he will send a delegation to discuss terms of peace while the enemy is still far away. So you cannot become my disciple without giving up everything you own. ~ Luke 14:28-33 https://youtube/watch?v=BgOtLKttDU4
