Mindset

  Good Morning Friends!
  Someone told me yesterday that I need to start thinking about my day and my calendar and deciding what is most important with my time.  I need to take control of my own destiny a little bit, she advised me.  And I’ve been mulling that thought over for the last 24 hours. But while I 100% agree with her, her idea of prioritizing and mine couldn't be more opposite.  You see, she was talking about my job and putting more time into work.  But what she doesn't understand about me is that my life purpose is not my job.  So when I think about prioritizing my time, my job does not fall high on my list.  Is it important for me to make money to pay my bills?  Absolutely.  And is it important for me to do my absolute best while I'm at my job?  Extremely.  But, when given the opportunity to go to work or to chase my God given purpose, I will chase my purpose every time.
  I want to remind you this morning, friends, that God did not put you on this earth just to work a job.  I believe that every person has a higher calling. And if you are fulfilling your calling at your job, that is amazing.  I’m so happy for you; but if you aren’t, I want to encourage you to not get side tracked. It’s so easy to get sucked into the rat race of work, and housework, and life in general and forget that we are losing valuable time to accomplish what we were put here for.
  Life without purpose and direction is exhausting and discouraging. Have you been feeling that way? If so, maybe it’s time to look at your priorities. What are you doing this week to chase your dreams, goals, and purpose? Take some time today to realign your schedule to what matters most. I think you’ll find you are much happier and more fulfilled when you’re doing what you’re called to do.
  And one more thing, if your priorities don’t line up with what someone else thinks they should be, just remember that they aren’t living your life, and no one else has your exact same calling. Your picture doesn’t have to fit the mold. So get out there and do what matters today. I can’t wait to see you succeed!
