I’ve been really interested in leadership this year…
At work we’re reorganizing our team and endeavouring to encourage all of us to fulfill our potential – to grow basically and be better versions of ourselves (not my quote, I’m just borrowing it)…
I’ve been watching various YouTube videos on leadership and one speaker I came across was Simon Sinek…
I’m not endorsing Simon Sinek as a person but he does have some good things to say…
One of his illustrations is called the golden circle (I’ve included an image below to save you Googling this)…
I’ve encouraged our team at work to work through this as a team…
As an individual I see the Lord’s wisdom in this – Simon has just uncovered something which the Lord has established and explained it really well and clearly…
So I’ve called this blog, ‘Motivation’ because I believe for myself it was about time that I put my own personal, ‘why?’, ‘how?’ & ‘what?’ statement out there – for myself to see but also for everyone else to see…
‘Why’?
Why do I exist? What is my reason for living? What is my purpose? To know Christ…
I want to know Jesus…
‘How?’
How do I achieve this? How do I realize what I want to achieve out of life? Through having Jesus live through me…
I submit to Him living through me…
As He lives through me I see Him, I get to know Him…
‘What?’
What specifically is it that He wants me to achieve in my remaining time on earth? What is going to happen as He lives through me to enable me to know Him? That is my call…
I’ve explained this in a nut shell here…
There are further specifics which He’s been telling me about but I’m not going to share those now…
To consciously think through these issues is very helpful…
What we consciously set ourselves as goals we find ourselves naturally calculating our actions to achieve…
Lord, I ask that each of us who know You would have our own session with You on this at the time of Your choosing to curb our actions into line with Your will for our lives…
Let Your Blood cover us all…
Thank You,
Andrew
