You know it, you’ve been there.

From the moment you wake up to the minute your head hits the pillow there have been things that just needed to get done and they have all seemed urgent.

Fitting in the things each morning that help everyone be ready for their day … even if that is just you …

dealing with distractions, which seem to happen all throughout the day,

and trying to wrap up your day in a way that has you ready to go again the next day.

The errands.

The everyday things,

The intentional ways we care for others, help others, serve others.

You are grateful for so many reasons, but also feel a little lost in all the urgency and the things that always seem to need to be done.

You are probably feeling like the needs have left you unsure of who you are now, how you got there exactly, and who you want to be.

Because the urgent takes over the purpose.

You’ve been reactive more than active.

Are you nodding?  You can relate, because you’ve been there.

One of my favourite quotes is “Ruthlessly eliminate hurry from your life.” by Dallas Willard.

I had been hurrying alot and everything seemed urgent.

I had two young teens at home and what they needed and where they needed to be seemed to change every time I thought I had it figured out.

Everything had to happen now or the opportunity was lost, and they didn’t want to miss anything! 

Maybe you need to take your parents to medical appointments, or help out with kids at the last minute because their parents needed to respond to the unexpected and they count on you.

Here’s the thing with urgency and hurry … it leaves us frazzled, forgetful, and overwhelmed.

You seem to question who you are and who you want to be in the middle of it all

You probably could figure it out if you could sit long enough to sort it out.

You can shift when you can recognize what is urgent and what is a priority.

If something is not planned but keeps coming up then maybe it’s not just urgent? Or maybe it is time to say a kind “no”.

We are lost because we are just responding without identifying what is truly important.

Urgent can be great … when we are clear on what our personal priorities are and how we want to show up and lead our lives.

Do you know the top priorities in your life?

Do you know how you want to lead your own life?

Could you say what you need to say no to, in order to say a better yes?

What would you give up, in order to keep?

What call would you get that you would immediately know that to lean in to that moment would be your best yes?  What would you be ok with stopping and putting off in order to switch where you needed to be and who you needed to be there for?

Maybe you need to say yes to you more in a new season of life.

Maybe you need to say no to things that just keep you too busy for what you truly want to do.

As a sneek peek, The Life Plan Program is coming February 1. The great thing is i

It will give you everything you need to lean in with harmony to what is most important to you and as who you want to be.  

It will help you chart your course and design a path that will articulate your personal priorities with purpose.

Doesn’t that sound so much more simple than hurry?

Let’s eliminate our hurry and start living out the priorities we have been procrastinating.

Your purpose is worth it.
