| "Wherever you are - Be all there." ~Jim Elliot |
Wherever you
are … be all there.
It’s
easy to “be all there” when where I am is a good place to be.
When life is
going my way. When circumstances are favorable. When all’s well with the world
— and when my relationships are peaceful and easy.
But being all
there — and staying there — when life is careening out of my control? When
the longed for yes is an unwanted and unyielding no?
Well, sometimes that’s when I go looking for the EXIT.
The times when
I am able to stay … to be all there when I really, really want to be somewhere
else — that’s when I learn the most. When I change the most. When I see the
things … or the people … or the hidden truth that I might have missed if
I’d walked away.
Being all
there is about doing life on purpose. Paying attention. Being all there costs
you something. But it also gives you something in return: experience. Life
change. Understanding. Appreciation.
In Your
Words: How do you ensure that you’re “all there” in the day to day of your
life? What have you learned by doing life on purpose and paying attention?
