Your Story is Happening Right Now
From the Neue Ministry article Right Now Leadership by Steve Saccone:
“Most leaders are compelled by the future, fascinated by vision, and obsessed with changing the status quo. But when we focus too much of ourselves on what we’re trying to accomplish, what is to come, what will be, or what change we’re hoping for, we can miss right now. And being able to live well in right now is critical to effective leadership.”
I don’t need to say much more.
Your story is currently in Play mode. Not Rewind. Not Pause. Not fast forward. In our culture we are usually in that last spot. Take a minute to slow down and realize that life is happening in the present. By focusing too much on the future and the vision we can miss out on the stories happening every day around us. Pay attention.
