What are you going to do with the rest of your life?
We are all confronted, sooner or later, with two of life’s quintessential questions: Are you satisfied with your life? Are you satisfied with the direction the world is moving in?
The mere fact that the questions are emerging is usually a solid indication that we are dissatisfied with both to some degree. It’s time to listen to that dissatisfaction. Don’t swat it aside like an annoying fly. Go deep into your dissatisfaction. It is a profound messenger that comes to reveal your future.
“Be bold and mighty forces will come to your aid,” was Goethe’s observation. Boldness is a beautiful thing. When we see boldness alive in another person it is incredibly attractive. There is power in boldness. The power to explore new possibilities and the power to get unstuck.
It is time to move beyond our timidity and boldly participate in each moment of life.
Boldness requires a single clear priority. Boldness is single-minded. You cannot boldly pursue many things, that’s recklessness, and the two should never be confused.
Too often we are bold when we should be timid, and timid when we should be bold.
Holy Moments require boldness.
The world needs a massive outpouring of goodness. It needs the healing tonic of goodness that Holy Moments release. But the culture is so resistant to goodness, so in order to unleash the tidal wave of goodness needed to heal the culture, we need to be bold.
When you are afraid, build confidence and momentum one small Holy Moment at a time. You can do small things boldly, and boldness is compatible with patience. Momentum will build fast enough. And once your efforts to create Holy Moments gathers a little momentum, it will look bold and unstoppable to others, but you will know that it was small and fragile when it began.
“Be bold and mighty forces will come to your aid.” It’s time to awaken the greatness of the human spirit within you. And nothing will awaken the greatness God has placed within you like Holy Moments.
You were made in the image of God. Act accordingly!
