In the decades since I’ve often felt that this might be the hardest thing for us–or at least for me–to do as a human being What does that mean to walk in love? I first heard the phrase decades ago when a pastor taught on a verse from the Bible–chapter 5 of Paul’s letter to the Ephesians, in which he urged these early believers to imitate God and “walk in love”. Another element of this purposeful, intentional living is walking in love.
To that end, we’ve talked about managing stress through cultivating joy and managing time and space by following peace. Living with purpose means acting intentionally to ensure that your day-to-day life is consistent with your most treasured values. To me, managing your life means keeping the big picture in mind: Who do you want to be in the world? What kind of life do you want to live (and why)? What matters most to you? Where do you want to end up? This week I want to take a step back and look at the bigger picture of managing our lives by walking in love.
LOVE COUNTDOWNS HOW TO
As part of our countdown look at those four areas, we considered, indirectly, managing our stress by looking for ways to find joy in our day-to-day lives, and last week how to manage our time and (to some extent, our space) by following peace. TPW’s purpose is to help you to give you the tools and encouragement you need to manage four things: your time, your life, your stress, and your stuff.
But if you are using part of your time to listen to this podcast, I invite you to use it as an opportunity to pause, look ahead to the holiday and the coming new year, and give some thought to what you want out of the holiday season and the year. December is a busy time for many of us, with holiday gatherings, school programs for the kids, end-of-year rush at work, and more. Walking in love can help us manage our lives in a way that lets us be truly productiveĭuring December we’ve been counting down to the new year, with each episode focused on a different aspect of what I see as the mission of this podcast. As we continue our countdown to a productive new year, this week we consider how love can help us manage our lives to maximize not only productivity, but also our own joy and peace.
