SUMMER VACATION: 5 Details on How Not to Miss the Big Picture

REMEMBER THE MISSION

1. I’m sure the family said ‘we’re going to the beach’ not i’m going to be on my phone for hours at a time….remember why you do what you do and keep doing it!

2. EVER HEARD OF ‘DON’T SWEAT THE SMALL STUFF’? DON’T!

3. Be careful you don’t make being busy your idol. Story about WMC gospel choir and the sleepless nights...I learned to enjoy the experience because we were prepared

4. BE STILL SOMETIMES

5. Big momma used to say just be still and sit yourself down somewhere...enjoy the journey, don’t always be laser focused on results. You might be missing out on something good and beautiful.

6. PERSPECTIVE IS A GOOD THING

7. Sometimes it’s good to remember your issues are simply not that big

8. OBSERVATION IS A VALUABLE SKILL

9. Somebody on your team seem down lately? Have you noticed someone has been unusually stressed? Late? Upset? If you are constantly distracted or into your own agenda you will miss valuable relational time with your team.
