I recently received an unexpected letter in the mail…from myself. In 2011, I authored this letter as part of a conference activity I participated in. The message was simple, “If you can dream it, you can do it. Change the world.” Naturally, this note necessitated a…

How we spend our money is a reflection of our hearts. In the same vein, how we spend our time is a reflection of our hearts. Time does equal money, does it not?

“For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also” (Matthew 6:21)

Reality check.

What stirs your soul? What frustrates you about the world? What would you like to see different?

Ask yourself these questions. Know yourself and know your priorities, because you can’t afford not to. Ponder these things and consider your role in creating change. Pursue the longings of your heart. Nothing is more discouraging to me than the feeling that I’m wasting time, doing something less than that which I’m called to.

When’s the last time you had a reality check?
