Do you have big, audacious dreams and goals in life? Are you stuck in tending to a never ending to-do list and working toward rest? What if I told you that you’re doing it backwards. What would it look like in your life if you worked from a place of rest instead of rest being the end goal? Making sure to block out time for white noise or alone time to ensure your cup is filled up first in order to help others fill theirs. The people who make the biggest strides in life are those who work from rest and make time to fill their cup or “sharpen their axe”. Find the 1-3 things in your life that you need to be doing that would make other tasks lighter or unecessary. This allows for more time to focus on what you need.
