48 Days to the Work You Love Internet Radio Show

What happens when the dog catches the car? Most of us spend our entire lives chasing the dream of having enough.  What happens when that goal is met?  Do we stop, or is there reason to keep working anyway?  One listener is facing that challenge and Dan talks about life purpose in this episode.   Do you think some sort of good news could be a meaningful, purposeful, and profitable business? I’m a 45 y/o woman & have no idea what my purpose or passion is. My wife refuses to think about long-range plans.

5. Act.

And we avoid the crippling power of indecision. Yes, this process must be bathed in prayer. But a daily walk of integrity and character should provide confidence in moving ahead quickly with most any decision.

You, too, can deal effectively with the challenge of making solid decisions. Don’t be indecisive and unstable in all your ways. Rather, walk in the strength, confidence, and boldness that come from decisive action. Tweet This
