Time At the Lake

After a week of vacation it's good to be back. We experienced more than our share of cool and cloudy weather, but it was great for our family to spend time together. Really loved seeing my kids interact and have so much fun! They made memories that will last them a lifetime. 

Below is a picture of the beach in front of our cabin which happens to be my favorite place to read, think and pray. If I've learned anything about how to successfully do life, it's that I need to spend more time reading, thinking (dreaming) and praying. With so many things in life competing for our time and attention, it's essential to unhook and get away. 

change of place + change of pace = change of perspective

Bring Into Focus

I don't know if it's a factor of age or what, but I've been in a season lately of re-thinking and redefining my life. Not only the "what", but also the "how" of my life. 

It's important to me that I be blindingly clear regarding my mission, sharply focused and undeniably effective at living and fulfilling my God-ordained mission.

So I love the quote I came across a great quote today by motivational speaker Anthony Robbins who once said One reason so few of us achieve what we truly want is that we never direct our focus; we never concentrate our power. Most people dabble their way through life, never deciding to master anything in particular.

The more you focus your life, the clearer you'll be regarding God's will, the more you'll enjoy life's journey and the more effective/productive you'll be.

Like focusing your camera before every shot, what area of your life do you need to frame and bring into focus?
