Quote by Osayi Osar-Emokpae

There's a difference between waiting with patient expectation, and waiting because you never know what God will do. If you don't know how God thinks or what God wants to do in your life, read the Bible. When you know what God wants you to do, go out there and do it and see God work his wonderful mission through you.The whole time you thought you were waiting on God, but the whole time God was WAITING ON YOU.

Summary

This quote emphasizes the distinction between two types of waiting: waiting with patient expectation and waiting because of uncertainty regarding God's plans. It suggests that if one is unsure of God's intentions, they should turn to the Bible to gain clarity. Once aware of God's desires, they should take proactive actions, allowing God to work through them. The quote then presents a thought-provoking twist, suggesting that while individuals often perceive themselves as waiting on God, it is actually God who is waiting for them to take the necessary steps towards fulfilling their mission.

Perfectionism is the voice of the oppressor, the enemy of the people. It will keep you cramped and insane your whole life, and it is the main obstacle between you and a shitty first draft. I think perfectionism is based on the obsessive belief that if you run carefully enough, hitting each stepping-stone just right, you won't have to die. The truth is that you will die anyway and that a lot of people who aren't even looking at their feet are going to do a whole lot better than you, and have a lot more fun while they're doing it.
