You’ve done a lot of work over the past 8 weeks! But it’s not going to make much of an impact if you don’t take what you’ve learned and discovered about yourself and put it into action.

I get it - it’s easy to be excited about something and then fizzle out.  I have done it myself countless times. There are so many things competing for our attention that it can be challenging to focus on something that doesn’t seem that urgent. But here’s the thing.  Time moves quickly, and I remember hearing older people talk about how it just keeps getting faster.  I’m 46 at the time of this writing, and I’ve already started noticing that.

As a Jesus follower, I believe that I have an amazing eternal life after this one, but I still want to live this life to the fullest - and I love the life that I have here on earth! I want to make the most of it.See if you can relate to most of this. I want to:

  • Live out my values

  • Appreciate all that I’ve done and accomplished

  • Spend time doing things I enjoy - and finding ways to make the things I don’t love doing more enjoyable

  • Spend time with people that make me a better person, not just those that make me feel better for the moment

  • Focus on my strengths and how to best use them to help myself and others

  • Appreciate my uniqueness instead of trying to fit into a box that wasn’t meant for me

  • Accept my failures - and appreciate the lessons I’ve learned from them

  • Know what matters most to me, what I want people to say about me when I’m gone - and make sure my life is in line with that

  • Review my bucket list and work on crossing the most important or inspiring things off

  • Quit wasting time griping - even if only internally - about the things I hate doing and figure out ways to make them better - or to delegate or eliminate them

  • Review all of this regularly so that I can stay focused on what matters most to me

Let’s pull it all together with this simple but powerful exercise, “Big Rocks, Little Rocks”.

THE STORY: A teacher is addressing his class. He fills a jug with big rocks and asks the class if it's full. The class responds with a “Yes”. So, he adds pebbles to the jug. He asks again if the jug is full, and again the class responds, “Yes”. He says “No” and now adds sand to the jug.

The sand and the pebbles represent the small daily tasks we fill our lives with. If we don’t fit our big rocks in first, our lives will fill with only sand and pebbles. BUT if we start with our big rocks, we create room for what’s important in life - and the sand and pebbles can only fill the spaces in between.

Is your day-to-day life full of pebbles and sand or are your big rocks the most prominent things?

  • What are your "Big Rocks" in life right now?  What's most important to you in your life?

  • Now fill in your pebbles - your next (lower) level priorities or activities.

  • Then write down your lowest priorities/activities - your sand.

  • Finally, add a priority to your "Big Rocks" from 1 to 5.
