Yes, we all need a second wind from time to time Drew. Be sure to inhale so you can exhale. I hope you have a good weekend too!

Thanks Dave, yes that is such a great point. When we have too many things we’re jugging it can sap us of our most creative abilities.

Margin is such a key component in our lives yet we often don’t make it a priority. I’ve found the second most difficult piece to creating margin is maintaining margin.

Someone always has a plan for your time if you’re not intentional about how you want to use your time.

Andy Stanley did a sermon series recently on the importance of margin. Without margin, we’re one bad event away from failure. If we’ve already allocated all of our time, all of our energy, or all of our finances, there’s no wiggle room. As a result, our quality of life suffers. One of the best things we can do is to build margin back into our lives in every area.

Once we do that, we gain the ability to pause, reflect, and consider doing something truly new.

It’s funny how that works Tom. The encouragement we need for the important things in life seems to arrive just when we need it. Thanks for your comment.

Thanks Sally, I’m glad you didn’t give up on your blog either. That’s such a great way to approach life to believe that your best days are still ahead. I always believe that and it really makes life exciting. I love hearing about people achieving their dreams so thanks for sharing that with us.

I’m glad you kept going. I’ve really enjoyed reading this article. I almost gave up my blog, and then I had someone do something similar. I’m still at it 3 years later and enjoying what I do.

My current dreams (I’ve already been successful in several of them.) are still ahead of me. I’m patiently writing and growing to achieve them. Thanks so much for sharing this article. Sally

I love that Bernard. The 3 C’s – commitment, consistency, and courage. You can achieve a lot of things with those three principles. I’m glad you’re still working toward your goals.
