TRANSCRIPT
Do you ever feel like your to-do list just weighs you down? Too much to do. Too little time. Task after task. Burden on top of burden. By the end of the day, you are depleted. Nothing left in the tank. You go home and your family doesn’t get your best because you are too drained. Go to sleep. Only to wake up and repeat the cycle again the next day.
Doesn’t that feel off to you? Don’t you want to give your family your best? Don’t you think they deserve to get more than just a shadow of who you really are?
But how? How do we break the cycle?
Do you remember being a child? The mindset you had? How carefree you were? The only thing on your list of things to do was simply to enjoy each day. Play outside. Hang out with friends. Decide between basketball, football, soccer, or tag. Playing hide and seek. The list goes on.
Now track with me here. What would it look like, to live your adult life in the same way - the same mindset? What if your list of things to do wasn’t so much a burden, but instead, a list of things to enjoy? A guide to structure your enjoyment of the day, if you will. Sure the activities are different and you have more responsibility now, but what if instead of your responsibilities being things that weigh you down, they were just a helpful guide by which you enjoy life?
Perspective. Focus. Choice. Action.
Consider this for a moment? What if you need new lenses? I.E. perspective. What if the answer to your enjoyment of life, isn’t a set of different tasks, or a different to-do list, or a different job, or any external change at all? What if the answer is internal? You... me... what if we are looking at things all wrong.
Well, what other way is there to look and see everything? Remember that “kid” mindset we were talking about? Jesus. Like not as an exclamatory word that an adult would use, but like as a kid, remember? Jesus was the answer to everything. As simple as that is, there is a lot of truth in that. Isn’t that interesting? How the simple shallow answers as a child, turn into deep oceans as an adult? A whole new depth of meaning.
When Jesus becomes the lens through which we see everything - like EVERYTHING and EVERYONE - we are at least one step closer to living the life we were created to live.
Thank you so much for listening to this episode. If you got value, if this put you in a better mindset, it would mean a lot to me if you left a review and shared it with someone you love. Remember friend, you have a gift, and it is your responsibility and your opportunity to share it with the world. So go out, and do it.
