Even if you are optimistic and not a pessimist, like me, you probably have a hard time enjoying life.
We are so programmed to expect things to fall apart or go wrong. Leaders are programmed to always be working, thinking about the next hill, the next program, next sale, the next thing that will change everything.
That in the midst of that, we miss enjoying life.
I was asked by some pastors recently how they could pray for me and I responded, “That I would enjoy the season I am in.”
Too often, I’ve found myself looking back or looking ahead and not enjoying where I am. To stop thinking about the next series, new growth, new staff member, next conversation or project and just enjoy something.
When you start a church or a business, you are in put your head down and get it done mode. When it starts to work, it is easy to stay in that mode out of fear it will stop or because you don’t know anything else.
Yet, some times you need to stop so you can enjoy something.
