"多くの人が「神が私の人生に対する使命を明らかにするのを待っている」と言うのは、行動を避ける手段として使っています。"
— Francis Chan
Simplified Meaning:
Sometimes, people say they are waiting for a clear sign or calling from God before they make important decisions or take action in their lives. However, this can be an excuse to avoid doing difficult or scary things. For example, someone might want to start a new career or pursue a talent but feel unsure and overwhelmed. Instead of taking small steps towards their goal, they might wait for a perfect, unmistakable sign from God that confirms what they should do. In reality, waiting for such a sign can mean they never start. It can be more productive to pray or reflect while also taking practical steps forward. You don't need to wait for everything to be perfectly clear; you can learn and adjust as you go. By taking action, you open yourself up to opportunities and growth, which can lead to a clearer understanding of your purpose.
