Day 221 – Is quality really better then quantity?

Interesting question. I think quality over quantity is an argument used by a lazy person that has not started yet. The rare exception is the master craftsman that is truly motivated by quality after years of successful execution. Perhaps the automobile manufacturer is motivated by quality, or the chip manufacturer for a new wireless mobile device. Definitely the artificial organ manufacturer, or the angioplasty stunt device manufacturer.

However for you, individually, is quality more important then anxiously engaged activity? Are you using quality as an excuse? Could I execute a better exercise routine? Absolutely. What is more important, me getting my lazy butt out the door in the morning or crafting the perfect routine worthy of publication in Muscle and Fitness magazine?

Did Jesus really craft his perfect message or did he just simply do what no man is willing to do and that is drop the net full of fish and become a fisher of men?

Ok. He spent his first 30 years doing something. But when he hit 30 he was on the road to Damascus and he was teaching along the way. Simple, yet effective. Perhaps he had the blend of perfect quality and quantity that would lay the foundation of the world’s largest belief system, or perhaps he just walked out the door.

When Gandhi took the train ride in the morning was he prepared with the perfect reaction to hostility toward his ethnicity, or did he just decide to do something, anything about the atrocity that lay before him?

You have a challenge before you? Ask yourself this question. Should you spend a few more months contemplating your course of action, or should you just get up right now and go and do it?
