Before The Chaos (10/13)

Good morning from close friends Brett Hobbs and Michael Barone. We are here every Monday morning to help prepare you Before The Chaos! Happy belated birthday to our co-founder, Brett Hobbs!

Stop chasing approval

As bluntly as it sounds, we are all going to die one day. Yet we constantly try to compare ourselves to each other regarding accolades, accomplishments, material possessions, etc.

The truth is these things don’t matter. Stop obsessing over status or chasing approval. Life is not about that. It’s about saying yes more often, enjoying the little things, and letting go of this pressure.

Reflection

“How often am I comparing myself to others?”

“Do I crave approval from people? If so, why?”

Take Action Task

Write down or think of one product/material good you own that you believe gives you status. Acknowledge that it doesn’t define you.

One Achievable Goal

Set one goal that must be completed before week’s end.

Ours is to say yes to something we would normally avoid.

VERSE

Psalm 40:8

“I desire to do your will, my God; your law is within my heart”.

Closing

Life is going to take you through peaks and valley. Accept the things that happen and keep moving forward. Don’t get caught up in what other people have or think. Have fun!
