A fundamental difference between you and the man ahead of you is "sleep". Sleep in this context doesn't necessarily connote laying down to rest.
"Sleep" in this context is the inability to function productively.
You can be awake but still asleep: You are in class does not mean you are learning; you showed up at work doesn't mean you are productively engaging; the interesting part is some people might be so asleep that others are making money on them sleeping and yet they can't see it.
Jacob beat Laban to his own game by an inspired idea on how to make the cattle breed offsprings with spots.
Joseph although in Prison yet wasn't asleep mentally, providing sound and visionary counsel.
Your problem is not your position, colour, sex or ethnicity...you are simply "asleep".
In several scriptures the Bible always described Jesus by the following:
"For he already had in Mind...what he was going to do" Jn. 6:6.
Spirituality does not suggest you suspend the use of your brain.
Whatever you fail to put into use...you will eventually lose.
If your brain is not in constant use...it won't be active; when it's not active, over time it goes into a default "sleep mode". And when their is a "mental emergency" you are stranded because your brain needs to reboot...and sometimes before it is done rebooting the opportunity is gone.
"Stop sleeping"
CALL TO ACTION:
1. How long have you been sleeping in your business/career?
2. What will you do today to change your mental inactivity.
3. Spend time daily to THINK through your tasks.
It's time to Work It Now...It's time to WIN.
Good morning and Happy Mid-Week!
