How About You - Whatcha Working On? or Where are you investing?
Can you answer one or both of these questions?
Being grounded as a growing follower of Jesus means we are going somewhere and/or doing something. We should be able to share how we are growing personally, what God is working in us, and where we are heading professionally in our work or volunteer investments.
If I were asked these questions, I could answer wholeheartedly. I'm growing in trust and rest, working on a new book on pendulums and investing in this next chapter of Bridges Coaching.
There are also personal applications for these questions. We may be working on health goals, cooking proficiency, a project in our home. We may be investing in building friendships or our retirement account.
The bottom line is that when we can answer these kinds of questions without reservation, we are on a journey. We are living life intentionally and not simply letting life happen around us.
Unfortunately, letting life happen to us is fairly common.
Oh, sure, maybe people have a retirement account, but do they really consider what kind of legacy impact they want to have when they are gone?
On the other hand, some people are quite invested in the future and serious about focus, but may miss out on making memories and having fun in the present. This is one of the many reasons we use the Wheel of Life in our coaching and coach training. A tool like this provides a way for each person to think circumspectly about many different areas of his or her life.
So, whatcha working on? Where are you investing?
If you aren't sure, we can help! If you want to help others, we can help with that too!
