Dear FB Friends - Check out my blog post and comment if you like! Purpose - Process - Patience (Taking Strides on Purpose)! How are you running the race called life? Are you in your lane or are you always crossing over onto another seemingly better lane or smoother track? Are you running Your race or by ambition running someone else’s? As you reflect on these questions, I want to share with you the critical importance and purpose in running your own race and going through this process with patience. In John Maxwell’s book, The 21 Irrefutable Laws of Leadership, the law of process is one which I believe is so critical and yet at times, so overlooked and even misunderstood. You see, patience/timing and the law of process go hand in hand. Process, helps hone a thing to produce an end result, but only if one is submitted. Being impatient while the law of process is at work, can cause you to look at someone else’s lane or track, and desire theirs’, because it looks smoother and easier, instead of submitting to the process of your own lane-track-race. However, Don’t Be Deceived… EVERYONE goes through the law of process. And of course, if the process is skipped, you will be unprepared and exposed when it’s time for the rubber to meet the road. However, When you take strides on purpose, while submitting to the process of your own lane, your own track, your own race; you develop something valuable to bring to the table. You see, although the world awaits your gifts and talents; character (truth, honor and integrity) along with fortitude and resilience, can only be formed through the law of process. Then, your purposeful strides will cause you to be around for the long haul, as we have seen too many fleeting stars. So, my friends, I encourage you to take strides on purpose and submit to the process with Patience. I know it’s not easy, but you won’t be disappointed!
