Keith Craft: I can BE is more important than I can do.
I can BE is more important than I can do.
The thought behind the quote
I have always loved the Army slogan, "Be all you can be". As God's sons and daughters, our ultimate challenge on this side of eternity is to Be-come everything that God has put us on the earth to Be-come.
It is easy to focus on what you do, more than WHO you are Be-coming. Your character will always be more important than anything you will ever do. Your talent can open doors for you, but it is your character, then your competency that will keep you there.

Many people place a premium on Efficiency...doing things right. While it is important to do things right, it is more important to do the right things. Doing the right things is a matter of character and in the long run, that is what makes one Effective in every area of life. It is one thing to hire someone to do a job for you, it is yet another for someone to Be for you what you need. Efficiency is valuable. Effectiveness is Priceless!
