I’ve been meaning to post these for a month now, so here we go. I don’t necessarily consider these “New Year’s Resolutions”- but things I want to do with my life.
1. Enjoy silence.
Mainly, I want to keep my mouth shut. My opinions are helpful sometimes, but not all of the time. The funny things about words is that you can speak great things for hours, but in a single comment, you can tear all of that apart.
That is something I don’t want to do.
2. Never miss a celebration.
Life is short. We should savor every moment of it. I want to enjoy every morning, every day, every friend, every birthday, and every good deed. Instead of seeing the bad in the world, I want to focus on what is good–on the things that are beautiful and amazing.
3) Tell better stories.
At work, i am trying to tell the story of Champion Forest Baptist Church (and of Christ and Christianity). I want the website to tell the story cohesively. In every other thing I design, I want it to tell the story of the company or person. When I lead a Bible study, I want to tell the story of the Bible–I want to make it interesting and enjoyable.
People remember stories. And so I want to be the best possible storyteller in all areas of my life.
