Are You Living Your Dream?
I just finished reading an interesting blog post from Tony Morgan. In this post he talks about New Spring Church's lead pastor, Perry Noble, and a recent staff meeting. At the staff meeting, he challenged his staff with this: "If this isn't your dream job, resign today."
The comments that followed on Tony's blog were mixed. Some loved it; others were apalled. I just love the fact that Perry is so bold as to be willing to lose people on the spot, and he did. I know there are so many things that could be said and so many different angles you could go on this. But purely from a personal viewpoint, I am so blessed to be able to analyze my own life and job and say confidently that I am living my dream. Sure, there are things that I would like to continue to do and see happen, yet, what I am doing is my dream.
Saying this, I realize that there are those reading this that aren't living their dream. I challenge you with a few things.
- Consider what is your dream. If you could do anything at this very moment and call it a job, what would it be? If you can't answer this question, I challenge you to really think about it. DREAM! I give you permission!
- Are you doing what is necessary to see the dream from above fulfilled? Even if the "job" that you're working isn't your dream, is it a stepping stone to see the dream fulfilled? If you're in college, you're probably not living your dream, but the current season prepares you for the fulfillment of your dream. Even then, preparation to see the dream accomplished actually IS living the dream. It's all in the perspective.
- For some of you, maybe you need to do something as radical as Perry suggested. If you're not living your dream, resign. That's a gutsy move, particularly in an economy such as ours right now. If you can accomplish a dream easily and without risk, it isn't really a dream; it's a plan.
