Purpose Wastes Nothing

You're being waaaay too hard on yourself, Friend.

The second you take your eyes off of what God has for you to do, a second is stolen from the lessons you need to learn to equip you to do what is yours to do. In the right time.

It's okay to look up to celebrate someone else. Just don't make them your idol. Keep going with what YOU have.

When things feel slow or your season of waiting feels long, step back and get an eagle’s eye view of what’s happening. The eagle doesn’t stop hunting for food because the prey escapes his grasp. He patiently uses his journey to teach him the terrain so when opportunity comes, he’s ready.

Stop allowing failure to crush you. Let it become your teacher.

Purpose uses every pause, detour, stumble and Wilderness Experience. So here's how to get focused, productive and energized with what you have - right now.

Take good notes
Ask different questions
Organize your thoughts
Set milestones (3-5 and no more)
Set goals in between those milestones
Celebrate small wins and lessons learned
Pivot where necessary
Repeat
