Get on the Stick
Did anyone ever tell you to get on the stick? You rested too long. Or were busy with something else. Or simply felt lazy. The person talking may have been a:
- Parent
- Boss
- Co-worker
- Friend
Whoever it was, they wanted you to do the job they had in mind.
To get on the stick means to get busy.
- Make an effort.
- Get organized.
- Start working.
- Quit wasting time and get the ball rolling.
Fixing to do something is not enough. You must get up and do it.
Get on the stick also applies to non-work activities.
Those include:
- School
- Sports
- Anything you should do but keep avoiding
Put your best foot forward. You will be glad you did.
“We do not want you to become lazy, but to imitate those who through faith and patience inherit what has been promised.” (Hebrews 6:12 NIV).
