TWO MINUTE WARNING

I read something last night by Joel Osteen that Sparked something, opened my eyes if you will and it said this, "There are goals that God has put in you. Dreams, (he listed others but for the sake of my point I'm listing only the relevant)  they're lying dormant. When you can't seem to get a good break, you have to remember that those promises are still alive. You have to start calling them out." I looked up the word dormant and it means; sleeping, quiet as if asleep, inactive.  ME? Inactive? No Way! Well let me just tell you, I couldn't have been more surprised by myself!  I looked up inactive nothing pivotal there, then went to the synonyms of inactive and the one that popped up to me was sidelined. BOOM! Well, well, with Football around the corner by George, I got it! 


On the sidelines means just this:

Observing rather than taking part, out of the action, 
This idiom comes from sports. The sidelines are the two lines defining the sides of the court or playing field and the area immediately beyond them where, in such sports as football, the non-playing team members sit. It hit me like a Concussion, here I thought I was the Super Star Quarterback in my mind, running to score my Dream and Goals and ironically I was merely observing.


The number one thing that attracts me to someone is their Gumption and their Passion to see it through. No Matter What. You know the ones,  they would rather get penalties or flags thrown than not go for that ball and take it to the end zone. I just love it, and I thrive to have it and see it as the air I breathe.  I don't know if you today find yourself tackled or intercepted but get back in the game and bench anything stopping you from calling out that Dream or Goal today! Relish in delight that you are going to dance in that End Zone and go all the way down that field with the cheerleaders and the crowds roaring with excitement to allow that Passion to Propel you to your Dream. This is the Wonderment of Life. 

Now here's a little something to light your fire...you don't wanna miss this one!
