There’s only so many things you can do. You can’t do everything.
For starters, do you know where you are? You better take a minute to get your bearings.
You’ve been running pretty hard. It’s good to stop every now and then, look around, and think about where you’re going.
Volume is important. Quality is more important.
There is a place for dabbling and learning a bunch of things. But pretty quickly, you sight to decide on something and do it really well.
Being great at something is exponentially better than being good at something. Being the best at something is exponentially better than being great at it.
Get a good dog and help it know what to do. Wait and recall are critical. Sit is easy. Decide what kind of behavior you want and persist. A good dog is a source of joy, comfort, and deep companionship. Get a dog trained or get rid of it. Yesterday.
Life is too short to waste on things that are not important.
Few things are actually important.
Focus on guarding your attention more than your time. If you take care of your attention, your time will take care of itself.
Fruit is greater than frugal.
You will not regret Bible study.
Or conversations with loved ones.
Or quiet mornings.
See the sun come up every morning.
Remember to be faithful always and forgetful, making much of Jesus.
As great as it is to go together, don’t be afraid to go alone.
Being grateful and generous are both the fruit and the source of much joy.
