To fulfill your mission, you must take a step back and introspect. Consider if your current lifestyle and daily habits are steering you towards your mission. If they’re not, it’s time to make room for your mission in your daily routine. Leadership expert John C. Maxwell wisely said, “You’ll never change your life until you change something you do daily. The secret of your success is found in your daily routine.” This means integrating small, consistent actions that align with your mission into your everyday life. It’s these daily efforts that will ultimately lead you to success and fulfillment.
Acts 2:46-47 reveals how the early believers’ daily routines were centered around their mission, leading to significant growth. “Day by day, attending the temple together and breaking bread in their homes, they received their food with glad and generous hearts, praising God and having favor with all the people. And the Lord added to their number day by day those who were being saved.” The mission of the Apostles thrived because the believers incorporated it into their everyday lives. Their consistent dedication and unity in purpose created an environment where their mission could flourish, demonstrating the power of daily commitment to a cause.
Are your daily habits steering you towards your mission? Be deliberate about apportioning time and resources towards your mission. Start by setting aside at least 10 hours every week. If there are no immediate tasks to perform, use that time to study relevant books and volunteer at organizations actively working on a similar cause. This intentional focus will ensure that your mission is not just an abstract idea but a tangible part of your daily life. By consistently dedicating time and effort, you can align your actions with your mission and create a meaningful impact.
