Today I’m parking myself and taking off the sunglasses to look more clearly into the next 6-12 months. I’m balancing live musicals that take me out of town with leading various Lutheran events and retreats around the country, producing the web series, continuing VBS for grownups, launching new coaching groups, and time with family and friends. It’s a puzzle, but it’s a fun puzzle.
It’s never just about the dates of the various commitments, it’s about having the time to prepare for each unique opportunity. It’s also about fully living my story by being present in each experience and not distracted by the next big thing coming up.
I find that if I plan ahead and have some systems in place, I can actually be more nimble to take advantage of unexpected opportunities (or deal with unexpected challenges!) as they come along.
How often do you set aside time to plan?
Stop settling. Start living your story.
