Who & Why

S-T-C Tuesday: January 17, 2023

“The Lord your God goes with you wherever you go.” (Joshua 1:9)

Everyone loves a new year!

There’s a sense of renewal. We give ourselves permission to dream a little.

Pondering questions like…

“How might life be different?”

“What should I be doing?”

“What could I be doing?”

For whatever reason our dreaming tends to emphasize what we’re doing or where we’re going.

It’s rare to hear someone sharing details about a dream that entails who they are and why they’re doing whatever it is they're doing.

DRIFT prefers we spend most of our time thinking about the “what & wheres” of life, because in the grand scheme of things these details matter the least.

Think about that for a moment. The importance of what and where are secondary to other considerations like the “who & why.”

If you’re not living up to your highest standard does it really matter what you’re doing or where you’re doing it? At any given moment does what you’re doing or where you’re doing it have any influence on your ability to live up to your highest standard?

The answer is always, NO.

Real dreams. Transformational dreams. Are deeply rooted in the “who & why.”

Who you are is of utmost importance. Your dreams should only serve to accentuate that.

Why you’re doing it will always outshine what you’re doing. Your dreams should only serve to accentuate that.

Because wherever you go, God will always be available to you.

So don’t be afraid to make a “wrong move", don’t over prepare to make the “right move” just make a move that is rooted in your “who & why.”
