Complacency is a word that gets thrown around a lot in religious circles. It seems to be a buzz word when talking about change and when people are trying to push their own agenda. I have been personally giving thought to what complacency is and how I define it in my own life.
Complacency occurs when we are taking in more than we are giving out. You have grown comfortable in a consumer lifestyle. This is not a healthy lifestyle. It will not be long until inactivity sets in and you find yourself miserable in your own surroundings. You will have to work twice as hard to get back on track.
Complacency occurs when your past is more inviting than your future. You believe that your best days are behind you. You begin to settle because you feel like you have nothing left to strive or work for. It is a very dangerous place in life when your memories become bigger than your dreams.
Complacency occurs when inspiration turns into a burden. When needs become a chore. When the quick fix is the only route we are willing to take to get to the solution. When it is easier to remain in the mundane of a mediocre life rather than fight against the current of normal.
How do you define complacency and how does your life fight against it?
