Its seems to me in life that alot of people are bench warmers by nature. As a dissclaimer I am not speaking of anyone specifically that reads this blog. We have lots of ideas and lots of good advice but we never do anything about it. We dream of starting a business or excercising or dieting and then we end up working our same boring jobs eating junk food and sitting on the couch. I am one of them, a bench warmer. And if in that moment we do strive after something we give up and go back to normalcy. Why we ask, why do we do that. ITS COMFORTABLE. I am in my comfort zone and so are most of you. I challenge you to think outside the box and do something you have struggled to do. Not gangbusters for a week but EVERYDAY for a month or year. If we can create new habits we can change our lifestyle. I encourage to follow you dream and dont let anyone steal it. IF YOU AIM FOR NOTHING YOU WILL HIT IT EVERYTIME!!!!!

Hi Jeremy,
Please take this with a grain of salt. In some respects, it may be a bit of a rebuttal to your last blog posting.
I have never thought of myself as a bench warmer but then again, I’ve never thought of myself as a starter or star either. Not everyone is going to be gifted with the great idea(s) or the talents to be great or be very successful or for that matter, be fit and athletic. Motivation is also a gift. The stars, however, always need supporting casts of those (like me) who can help, give encouragement, or just be present in times of need. I’ve also learned to respect those who do the most mundane jobs on a daily basis knowing that their contribution is as important as mine. If the receptionist is not pleasant to the customer, then my job is all the harder or it could be impossible. If the visual inspector misses a defect, it could cause problems for the company with the customer. I do not make or inspect any product so I, along with many others in the company, rely on the skills and efforts of those who do make the products. Every Tuesday morning, I carry out the garbage to the edge of the street and without fail; it is gone by the afternoon. There are many people who do wonderful services that we can appreciate daily; your brother is one of those who risk much to be of service to many and I’m sure with minimal credit.
As for you being a bench warmer, I think you got up off the bench (big time) when you promised yourself to Rebecca. Any man who takes care of his wife and family, and works at it, can no longer be a bench warmer in very many respects. The point being, life is more than the work we do or the activities we take part in. I have known some very happy people who know that they have done the best they could with what they had. They are over weight, struggle with bills, are not popular, but they have a faith that beams from their person and they love others.
In a basketball analogy used by the Detroit Pistons a few years ago, the substitutes coming in off the bench for the starters called themselves the Alternators. Let’s consider ourselves the Alternators of life; giving the Spirit power in our lives and the lives of others.
Sorry for the long post.
