"I find the great thing in this world is not so much where we stand as in what direction we are moving." Oliver Wendel Holmes
I find this quote to be fascinating considering today’s cultural climate. Do you ever feel the pressure that exists to “take a stand” on all of the most controversial issues that dominate the headlines today? What is your opinion on whiteness, and Western Gender ideology, and abortion, and policing, and Nation building, and vaccines and masking…
We all likely have stances on these things… and for most of us, we live in a country where we have the privilege of being involved in the discussion.
Let me ask this question…
How often have you shared your stance in a way that changes someone else’s stance? Like after you spend 20 minutes pontificating to someone who feels differently than you… you completely win them over to your side? For many of us, its happened maybe once? Twice if your lucky?
So many people are exhausting themselves formulating and posting and defending their “stance”… why?
I find that we have a difficult time changing minds and hearts because of our “stance” on any issue or topic.
However there is something that we all have the opportunity to appeal to that does have the power to change minds and hearts… an ideal future!
So let me ask you… have you created in your mind and heart a vision for your ideal future?
A future where… you fill in the blank.
A world where… you fill in the blank.
A country where… you fill in the blank.
An organization where…
That’s my challenge to you today.
"I find the great thing in this world is not so much where we stand as in what direction we are moving."
Define what the ideal future looks like in your context!
Stop wasting your time on your “stance” and start creating a vision for the purposed life you were designed to live!
