Today’s Tip is this:

Take time for some self-reflection to help you stay on track.

When we don’t build time for self-reflection into our lives and just let the demands and pressures and pleasures of life dictate our schedules and priorities, we can easily lose sight of who God has created and called us to be. A lack of self-reflection can lead to us getting off track of not just where we want to be in life but also who we want to be.

Taking time to reflect is an important part of leading yourself, and leading yourself well helps you to lead others well. Resist the urge to think that you don’t have time for reflection and begin to see it as time well spent to better equip you and make ultimately make you more efficient in your other responsibilities.

Today’s Tip is this:

Take time to discern what you need to equip you for what God has called you to.

God equips us for what He has called us to, but if we’re not careful we can become so busy that we miss the tools that He is placing in front of us. To do what God has called you to is there something He’s whispering that you need? Do you need to take advantage of an opportunity for education or training? Do you need more rest than you’re currently allowing yourself? Do you need to take a close look at your priorities and shift some things? Do you need to spend more time with Him? Do you need to seek wise counsel?

It’s hard to answer those questions, if we never slow down enough to take time to reflect and ask God for His wisdom, discernment, and guidance. So, slow down today and take time to discern what you need for what God has called you to.
