Here's a great thought that I heard recently. Guys, it applies particularly to us!
"Normally when a wife doesn't follow her husband, it's because she doesn't see him leading himself."
Ouch! Anybody else feel slapped upside the head by that one? OK so what does it mean to lead yourself?
The way I see it we have to be continually growing, progressing and going somewhere. It's way too easy to get settled into our rut of just living for the weekend. Why not be chasing a vision of something big in our lives?
All we have to do is look at the world around to realize that there is no such thing as staying where we are at. We are either growing or declining. Those are our only two choices. Declining and going backwards is not an option for me! What about you?
I'm learning more and more the value of living life with a purpose and a goal. There's always something worthwhile out there to pursue.
I've heard the idea before that it's not so much what you achieve in the pursuit of a goal as it is what you become in the pursuit of that goal!
Until recently my response was always yeah, yeah that sounds nice but I want the goal. I finally realized what they meant when they told me that.
If I focus on becoming the kind of person that it takes to accomplish my goal, then I will have taken myself to a whole new level where, if I had to, I could accomplish the same thing again much more easily!
It's called "Becoming".
Living your life on purpose. Growing!
So no more living for the weekend guys! Lets start leading ourselves and see who gets into line behind us!
If what we're doing all week isn't rewarding enough, hmmm...maybe it's time to give ourselves a checkup!
