Encouraging and equipping women over 60 to live their best life!
The challenge is to thrive in the new, often unwanted, role. These changes may include divorce, death of a spouse or child, a job loss, a catastrophic weather event, or more. I find that if we are open to going through the door before us and give it all we’ve got, we can excel. I’ve also found that past experiences often prepare us for the next chapter—even though we may not see it until later.
When I’ve played the game of life of trying to keep it at status quo, just good enough, that’s when I’ve been the most miserable. What’s actually happening is I’m losing momentum and my life starts digressing.
When life chapters close for others, and their decision impacts us, even indirectly, it sometimes feels like it’s ours. However, remember, it’s about them, not about you.
This statement allows your brain to come up with thoughts. It gives your brain the opportunity to get out of the past. It allows our brain to play. You are directing your mind to creative intentional thoughts. Our minds are designed to create, to daydream to be useful. When we were children, we did this all the time with our thoughts. We did this when we were playing, when we were making stuff up. When we were using our imagination. We were letting our brains wonder.
I challenge you today: Grab a journal, write down those dreams, visualize them with all your senses, and ground them in biblical truth. Remember, you’re not just dreaming – you’ve been given the capability to make your dreams a reality. Why not you? Why not now? Let’s do this together.
If someone were to ask you to narrow down, what you’re about, can you do it? Have you taken the time to define yourself? That’s what I want us to spend time on today. Especially here at the first of the year, as we are looking at the year ahead.
Doing this series and creating this tool has given me incredible clarity moving forward in life. I want this for you! Having a personal, moral compass; a standard by which to make decisions offers great discernment on the “who, what, where, when and how” decisions in our life. We all make decisions on where we will put our time, attention and effort. Now, you can ask yourself: “Does it align with my personal life blueprint; my mission statement?”
Applying cross-domain lessons can enhance our effectiveness. For example, business communication techniques can be applied to resolve conflicts in personal relationships. Christian examples of extraordinary teamwork can be used in sports, business, and family dynamics.
in my past four posts, I gave you my personal overview on the areas of sports , business, Christian faith, and personal relationships. Now, I want to go further and pull out the intersecting lessons for leadership.
Regardless of what season you may be at in your life, we continue to hold leadership roles. I want to share some invaluable insights.
We have been given this incredible gift called life. We’ve been given this thinking brain that loves to learn and loves to create. In the world we are living in right now, if we’re not careful we can get caught up in consumption. The goal is to uncover insights and tools that will help us pursue our passions and help us build a brighter, more fulfilling future.
