In it to WIN it
I don’t want to live life just going through the motions- I’m “in it to WIN it.” I want to live life to its fullest and know that I’ve made a difference in the lives of others. It’s easy for all of us, however, to get so wrapped up in the daily grind that before long we find ourselves just “going through the motions.” It’s important to pull away from our normal routine and responsibilities in order to evaluate our lives and examine our priorities. Doing so helps to ensure that we keep our “eyes on the prize” and not get distracted by things that are not really the most important uses of our time and energy. Taking time to withdraw from the norm helps us to stay focused on the things that should matter most- things like faith, family, and friends.
Are you allowing yourself to take the time needed to reexamine and refocus your priorities? Do you have enough relaxation and recreation in your schedule? It may seem like you don’t have the time, but in the end you’ll be far more productive, AND you’ll enjoy life much more as well!
And remember, making a lasting impact begins at home. Above all else, I want to make certain that I am dedicating the time and energy necessary for being the best husband and the best dad that I can possibly be. I want to be a role model for my family and be the kind of man that my wife and children respect and admire.
“Jesus often withdrew to lonely places and prayed.” Luke 5:16
