Gems for the Journey to Queendom
(These are pieces of advice I’ve received, strategies I’m using and resources I am referencing that are anchoring me and guiding me in this new and exciting season.)
Quote 1: "The world calls us to be a force. Jesus calls us to be a light.
Strategy: Always keep people’s humanity front in center. Send Thank You/Thinking About You cards
Quote 2: “Know (and believe) your identity in Christ and act accordingly.”
Strategy: Take a self-awareness assessment
Quote 3: “Don't let your emotions hijack your brain."
Strategy: Complete reflection exercises (e.g., What do I feel? What do I know?)
Quote 4: "Be slow to offense."
Strategy: Pause. Ask yourself (and others) clarifying questions. Why am I offended? What did you mean when you said that?
Quote 5: "It starts with me."
Strategy: Build a board of personal advisors who can be your cheerleaders and truth-tellers
Quote 6: "If the vision only involves you, it's not big enough."
Strategy: Write your 30-year goal (without thinking about the how)
Quote 7: "Rest requires submission of the soul."
Strategy: Take rest assessment. Complete time budget. Practice the Sabbath.
