QUOTE
“We are drowning in freedoms but thirsting for meaning. ”
Mark Sayers

This quote speaks to the overwhelming choices we face in today’s world, yet many of us struggle to find purpose.

As fathers, husbands, and in our careers, we often have the freedom to pursue various paths—whether it's at work, in personal goals, or with our families.

However, without clarity on what truly matters, this freedom can become a burden.

Finding meaning comes from intentionality—being present, nurturing relationships, and focusing on what brings lasting value.

In our careers, it's about aligning work with purpose, not just chasing success.

When we prioritize meaning over mere options, we enrich both our families and ourselves.

WISDOM
If you plant corn, you’ve given up the options about what the fruit is going to be.

If you plant corn, you’re destined to harvest corn.

The Bible reminds us, “Do not be deceived, God is not mocked; whatever a man sows, that he will also reap.” (Galatians 6:7-9)

Sowing to satisfy selfish desires leads to that outcome.

Want better results?

Rethink your actions from the start.

Plant the right seeds to harvest the desired fruit.

ACTION
Focus by saying no.

This is inspired by the late Steve Jobs who famously said, "Focusing is about saying no."

To apply this, reflect on your roles as a father, husband, and in your career.

Identify what aligns with your core values and the legacy you want to leave, then consciously say no to activities, habits, or commitments that don't contribute to that purpose. 

This allows you to give your best to what truly matters, leading to a more intentional, meaningful life.
