I know that a common phrase that I hear when someone makes a mistake is, “It’s not a big deal” or “It won’t hurt anyone.” Lately, when I have been talking to people, this phrase of “taking it to 100 percent” comes out…I take whatever action someone says and I think of it in terms of “going all out” or “taking it forward to the extreme” and then I ask myself the question….does it bring positive or negative results? Does it bring things that are good or bad? Does it help the people around me or hurt those around me? Do I hide the action or bring it out in the open at 100 percent?
Most of the time the results are obvious. It helps direct our actions for ourselves, others, and honors God!
