“The happiest people spend much time in a state of flow – the state in which people are so involved in an activity that nothing else seems to matter; the experience itself is so enjoyable that people will do it even at great cost, for the sheer sake of doing it.” Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi

  1. Prioritize. 2. Be clear on what energizes us. 3. Stop making excuses and do what you need to do.

Why do some people get more done than others? They understand the difference between time management, which is a fixed amount & energy management which is elastic, malleable, and subject to change. Is what we are spending our energy on important? Is staying up an extra 40 mins worth that episode? Is focusing on menial, non-important tasks @ home or work worth being drained when it’s time to spend time w/ your M or 2.0s?

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:

Since becoming a father 6+ years ago, I have developed a very serious devotion to St. Joseph, Jesus’ earthly father. St. Joseph is the patron saint of fathers. My favorite quote of St. Joseph’s from Scripture is, “…” That’s right, St. Joseph never speaks in Scripture. He was a man without words but not without a witness. His silent witness makes us even more aware of his actions which occurred during one crisis or another. Like St. Joseph, we don’t need words when actions will suffice. How can you develop your attentiveness to God’s will to be a man of action in the mold of St. Joseph?

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:

My priest on Easter Sunday likened the Church to a Mosaic. Sometimes small pieces fall away. From a distance, you don’t notice the missing pieces. It isn’t until more and more pieces fall away, do you notice something missing. Sometimes when someone falls away from the Church (or even F3), it isn’t noticed right away. But when more and more fall away, holes can start to be seen. Reach out to someone who has fallen away from your community (Church, F3, neighborhood, etc.) and invite them back…
