Your Morning Routine Toolkit
202
twenty years from now. Maybe the child in whom you inspire
a love of science today will discover the cure for cancer. Maybe
the person you hold the door open for at the store today will
be reminded of the power of small kindnesses.
The truth is, we haven’t a hint of the width and breadth of
our influence.
And as long as we are alive, we have a purpose to fulfill.
And every day is bursting with hope and possibility. Life is not
meant to be lived passively. We are meant to show up for life.
We are meant to show up prepared. And the only way to truly
prepare is to connect with the One who made us so we can
be ready with the words we’re meant to speak and the actions
we’re meant to take.
Fighting Distraction
It’s easier said than done, though. We live in a distracted, divided
world. We are bombarded with information and responsibilities
and decisions around every corner. As each day progresses, it
gets fuller, and the things that are truly important are drowned
out by the seemingly urgent messages being thrown at us.
We stop thinking about what is possible and think only
about what is pressing.
I don’t know about you, but I’m tired of feeling like a used
and abused ping- pong ball at the end of the day. How can we
stop feeling sideswiped and reactionary? How can we live with
purpose and intention?
How can we make time for the most important things?
