Today’s blog is a message from one of my favorite authors, bloggers, and speakers, Seth Godin. If you have not heard of him, I suggest you look him up and pick up one of his books. I had the privilege of hearing him speak at a John Maxwell conference a few years back and his speech stuck with me. I’ve found motivation and encouragement in his blogs and books. Here’s his message for 2020.
Seeing Clearly in 2020
I’ll only use that 2020 riff once. But it was on-point enough to have been worth waiting for ever since I got my first eye exam.
For most of us, 2020 is going to be a turning point. Because it’s another chance to live tomorrow over again. A chance to reset, to decide what’s important and what’s worth working for.
Not a New Year’s resolution, because resolve is often in short supply.
Instead, making the choice to learn to see. A chance to decide to decide.
Sure, that’s meta, but it beats the alternative. To not see. To simply accept. To not choose. To obediently follow instead.
The future has a way of showing up whether we ask for it or not, and it pays to be ready for it.
I pray your new year is off to a great start, setting small goals and working towards your personal growth and living your purpose. I started working on my goals and I will share an update with you in the next few weeks as I work my way through getting off the hamster wheel and onto a road that’s leading to my purpose.
