Thoughtfulness Overload

One of markings of a good introvert is thoughtfulness or internal processing. Sometimes the Introvert can get frustrated because people see them being thoughtful and they chalk it up to indecisiveness, apathy, or lack of leadership. We try to debunk that myth here at the Introverted Soul, but after some thought and some conviction from scripture, I have to admit that sometimes this is true.

I notice that oftentimes I can think things through, have the best of intentions of following through, but then I don't follow through. Call it laziness, selfishness, or apathy, but none of those are attributes that I desire. James 2:17 constantly convicts of me this. I can have all the faith in the world (to me this represents the Introvert who has the internal faith) but if that faith doesn't manifest itself outwardly (this would be the Extrovert who is naturally more outwardly expressive) then I've got some issues.

So as much as I believe in thoughtfulness, I can easily overload on it, and lean on it as a crutch for inaction. The inaction makes all the thoughtfulness, good intentions, and faith, mean nothing.
