It’s easy to sit on the sidelines of life, waiting for the “perfect” moment or the “right” opportunity to take action. But there is no perfect moment. Life doesn’t wait for us to feel ready. We have to be willing to jump in, to get our hands dirty, and to take action even when we’re unsure.
To die a doer means living every day with intention, knowing that you’re not just here to exist—you’re here to make an impact. It’s about stepping up, saying yes to opportunities, and doing the hard things even when they scare you. It’s easy to think, “I’ll get to that one day,” but life is happening right now. There’s no guarantee of tomorrow, so why not start today?
This doesn’t mean everything you do has to be big or life-changing. Being a doer is about showing up in the small moments, too. It’s offering a kind word to someone who’s struggling, volunteering your time to help others, or taking steps toward a goal you’ve been putting off. It’s about taking those “someday” ideas and turning them into action.
At the end of the day, I don’t want to leave this world with a list of things I never got around to doing. I want to know that I lived fully, loved deeply, and did the work God called me to do. That’s what it means to die a doer—knowing that you didn’t wait for the perfect moment, but instead, lived with purpose and passion every single day.
Ask yourself—when your time comes, will you have lived as a doer, or will you have stayed on the sidelines?
