I watched a podcast last night in which the well-known guest shared some timely food for thought:
The happiest people are those who keep learning, growing and pivoting – not just adding up years.
Wirh that in mind, he then posed a pivotal question:
Even if you’re purpose-driven or thriving in a specific lane, can you shift your focus and delivery as needed?
Could you be convinced to expand your effort to a different lane?
I did that 20 years ago, when I left behind a thriving newspaper column (Inspirations) in winter 2006 to focus on writing more books and speaking.
That season morphed into others, and from each new lane of purpose and calling I’ve trod, I’ve met meaning and fulfillment and amazing people along the road.
What about you??
That podcast guest surmised that while who we are at our core should be steady, how we live out our purpose – or embrace that we may have more than one – can be a gamechanger for us and for every life we’re called to touch. Especially in an ever-changing world in need of ever-present hope.
Don’t sleep on you. Your life is calling you to rise to the occasion.
