Another interesting thought from Wayne Cordeiro's book (Leading on Empty)...
Wayne says that there are four basic courses by which we can live... "every life follows a set of rules, a default of ideals that may have been caught more than taught."
1. A Life of Reaction.
With this course... we plod forward until something forces us to change direction. Most of life is spent reacting to events and happenings in our lives.
2. A Life of Conformity.
With this course we live according to the view of the crowd. We float along on the current of popular opinion.
Author and professor Leo Buscaglia said, "The easiest thing in the world to be is you. The most difficult thing to be is what other people want you to be. Don't let them put you in that position."
3. A Life of Independence.
With this course of action we live in the illusion of autonomy.
4. A Life of Intentionality.
With this course of action we live according to choices we make. "If you choose to win, you have to achieved half the victory. If you do not choose, you have gained your defeat."
What course are you living on?
