Season 1, Episode 27 - This week we look at success.  What is success to you?  How does that impact your ministry and life?

In addition, we look at a Wellness Practice of the Week, What is Making this Week Good, a Mindfulness Meditation.

From this Week's Episode:

Let’s think about what success is in our own lives.  

• Where do you want to be 2,3, or 5 years from now – what would faithfulness or success look like for you?

1.  As you think about success – think deeply – what do you want?  

•  Do you even know what you want in life and ministry?  
• Do some exploration in your own heart and listen to your deepest yearnings.
• Your dreams and desires are God given – so listen to them. 

 2.  How do you define success/faithfulness in your current ministry context?  

• Get outside of numbers if that isn’t helpful.  
• Where do you want the church to be 2,3,5 years from now?

 3.  Find the courage you need to prioritize what success looks like for you.  

• It is hard to block out what the world thinks success looks like but find the courage to forge your success.  And prioritize that. 

Here is a tool to help.  In coaching, we sometimes use this idea of your future self to help us live into what can be.

12 Questions:
1.  What are my current negative thoughts?

2.  What am I worried about?

4.  Where aren’t I showing up fully?

5.  Where am I struggling the most.

6.  What have been the main dreams in my life?

7.  What is my ultimate purpose

8.  If I knew I couldn’t fail, what would I do?

9.  When I visualize your future, what do you see?

10.  Based on what I see in my future– what decisions and commitments do I need to live into now?

11. As you think about yourself in the future = how am I different than I am today?

12.  What does the person I am in the future want to say to me right now?
