“Make a careful exploration of who you are and the work you have been given, and then sink yourself into that. Don’t be impressed with yourself. Don’t compare yourself with others. Each of you must take responsibility for doing the creative best you can with your own life.” The Good Book (Message version)
Wow! Does this hit home. Are you currently doing what you love and what you are really good at everyday? Have you taken the time to “Make a careful exploration of who you are and the work you have been given?” Most of us spend way too much of our lives going to a job where we aren’t really fully engaged. Not super passionate about what we do. Not making the impact in the world we are called to. I say let’s stop this trend today. Over the next week, take some time to “Make a careful exploration of who you are and the work you have been given”. Take some time and maybe talk to some people you trust to help you unpack what revs your motor. What do you love? What are you good at? What have you always wanted to try to do but just never took the plunge? NOW is that time!
Life is too short to waste too much of our time on areas that we do not make the biggest impact. As the JMT, (John Maxwell Team https://johnmaxwellteam.com/) say, “Jump and grow your wings on the way down.” Don’t wait until you have figured everything out. Get everything perfect. Get everything all lined up. If you have been feeling that tug of I could do more. I should be doing more. I should be doing that not what I’m doing now, then let’s start. Let’s block off 2 hours this week and think about us. Our passions. Our gifts. What we love. What we seem to be good at. Then, let’s touch up and update that resume and then, let’s post that resume in all the areas we would love to be working in. Then let’s let all of our network contacts know that we are looking for a new opportunity. And don’t forget to throw in maybe a little prayer along the way.
You got this! It is time for the next step. Today is the first day to the rest of your life so go chase your dream!!
