22 | Where do you want your one shot at life to go?

Sometimes we don’t make the progress in life that we’d like to make…

It might be that we hit unknown / unforeseen obstacles (or get sideswiped by trauma, trials, and tests).

It might be that we don’t actually sit down and make a plan. We don’t think about where we want life to go.

🧐

We can’t account for all of the unknown variables but we CAN consider what we do.

Here’s a three-step (overly simplified) roadmap forward.

🧭

STEP 1 = DECIDE WHERE YOU WANT TO GO…

Many people have never looked “downrange” and thought about where they want life to go. A lot of us find ourselves overwhelmed in the moment, cruising through each day in “reactive” mode, that we don’t step aside from living IN our life that we work ON our life.

Here’s part of the reason why…

💡

Many of us have never been taught to dream. We simply take life on its own terms, as it comes. If things don’t go well (or we don’t like it), we look for an alternative path. Other than that, we continue coasting.

🤔

In addition, we forget that we have MULTIPLE areas of life to consider…

These include:

🏠 Family

💰 Finances

👟 Fitness

🙏 Faith

⚙️ Factory (work, what we create)

🔗 Friends (deep connections)

Each of these areas are interconnected AND impact each other accordingly. What we do in one area affects all the others….

… so goals / dreams that are made in isolation rarely last long— they get (rightly) sucked into the stream of every other area of life.

In other words, ALIGNMENT is more important than extra effect and intense motivation.

So…

You must decide where you want to go…

… and you must recognize that multiple areas MUST be pulled together in order to make long-term movement.

The promise?

Psalm 37:4 = “delight yourself in the Lord, and He will grant you the desires of your heart.”

When we align with His purposes for us— from deep reflection in the quiet space— we receive not just “ideas” but “revelation” that moves us forward.

And that leads us to step 2…
