Break The Box!
Are you stuck in a box? You want to get out and achieve your full potential, a dream, or have a special experience of service or significance?
But you are stuck in the box...
Day after day extends into year after year that you want to be better, do something different, and/or do that thing that will impact millions of people... however you cannot get out of the box.
"The box" is the firefight of each day. Tasks, emails, meetings, responsibilities... What should you do?
Take one hour alone and without any electronic communications / distractions this weekend to ask yourself: "If I only have one year to live, what do I want to accomplish during that year?"
Make a dangerous decision. Decide to live instead of make a living.
You can do it. The starting place is the decision that you will do something NOW. Once you think you know what your dangerous decision should be, then discuss it with your spouse, and/or a close friend. They may not agree with you, but they may be wrong... Think about it... Pray about it... consider the truth, not just your gut... but not for too long. You do not have time to waste.
You have one year to live. Are you willing to make the dangerous decision to get of our your box... or is it more comfortable to stay there while your opportunities slip away?
Anyone want to play the game with me? (Just as friends - I do not mean a consulting engagement.) If you want to play, then email me and we will see where we are next week on our dangerous decisions...
Do not let your "year" end at a time when you will be left with a huge regret.
P.S. Forgive me if this sounds morbid. I just get the sense one or more of you really need this challenge today. Or maybe I am the one who needs it! (I better ask my beautiful wife of almost 37 years...)
Email me if you want to learn leadership skills. (That is how we pay the bills.) There is a special offer on our All-In LEADERSHIP program this month if you are interested, but your dangerous decision may have nothing at all to do with leadership... :)
It is Friday. ACCOUNTABILITY TIME!
- How are you doing on your 3strands this week?
- Is the work remaining to complete this week's 3strands scheduled in your calendar so you can work uninterrupted?
- Have you scheduled your Sanctuary time later today or over the weekend for personal accountability and focus?
Stay on track.
