…Or at least something that feels unproductive.
Most learning takes place when we aren’t looking for it. Most growth takes place when we feel unproductive. So, do something that feels counter-productive.

•Read the book that you’ve [...]

or an organization to feed every homeless person in your city….
or a church….
or insert your own big idea….

A wise leader and I were talking about this other day. He shared that his (he is in his fifties) and many previous generations have seemed to live to work. In other words, much of their identity lies in their “job.” People who place their identity in a job or position sometimes forget [...]

grace is hands open
