Doing It Well

It’s absolutely true that anything worth doing is worth doing poorly… (Zig Ziglar, late motivational speaker)

That seems counter intuitive, doesn’t it? We expect the comment to end with “doing well.” In fact, Ziglar completes the sentence: “—until you can learn to do it well.” In other words, do what you should do even if you can’t do it well to begin with. You can learn through trial and error so long as you work hard at it, knowing it will be worthwhile in the end.

In his grace, God has given us different gifts for doing certain things well. (Romans 12:6)
