Last week, I heard a presentation by marketing genius, Seth Godin, at High Point University. The entire keynote was exciting, motivating, and encouraging for young entrepreneurs.
He stated something halfway through his presentation that was one of the most profound moments of his entire speech. In response to a question by our president, Dr. Qubein, he stated that a success to staying fit and maintaining health is eating simply so that you may live fully.
Eat simple, live full.
Live simply, live fully.
When we remember to live our lives in simplicity, we avoid distraction and stay the course. For the Christian faith, it is essential to remember our purpose every single day. Our purpose on earth is simple-love God, and love others because you love God. If that is our intention every single day, our lives actually become more full. When we live in the groove for which we were created, we thrive.
I find it so interesting how we try and color outside of the lines hoping to "experiment", or find out more about ourselves. In reality, we achieve the most then we realize what we were made for, and stay in that reality.
John 5:30
“I can do nothing on my own. As I hear, I judge, and my judgment is just, because I seek not my own will but the will of him who sent me.
Let us re-focus on what we were made for, and eliminate the things in our lives that take us our of the groove.
Trains cannot run apart from the specific grove in their tracks. The same is true for us. We cannot run or reach our destination unless we fit to the mold of which we were created. And God does not make us identical-do not fear not being unique! Your uniqueness will be found in Him, simply living for and with Him, and thriving in that creation.
Live simply-Live in Him- and Live fully in the way He directs.
2 Corinthians 1:12
For our boast is this, the testimony of our conscience, that we behaved in the world with simplicity and godly sincerity, not by earthly wisdom but by the grace of God, and supremely so toward you.
