Do You Live Your Faith All Day?…Every day?
Even at work?
That’s right…at work…
We’re people of faith 24-hours a day…God is supposed to be the center of our lives all day every day.
And yet…if we’re completely honest with ourselves…that’s not always the case, is it?
We get frustrated and irritated with those we work with and with those we serve.
We get angry because we feel as though we haven’t gotten what we deserve…
We hold back from offering our best performance…
We lust for power…for money…for prestige…
We allow our pride to get in our way…
Living our faith every day is our greatest challenge as Christians. And it’s at work…on the phone and in meetings…as well as in the thousands of “moments of truth” at our jobs that our faith gets tested every single day.
It really is possible to have a successful career and be a faithful person.
I won’t kid you...It takes work and it takes commitment. If it was easy, the world would be a much different place.
How do you do it?
You need to…
- Get clear about your feelings and actions and how they sometimes conflict with your beliefs.
- Recognize your goal as a person of faith is to put God in the center of your life. That takes creating an actionable strategy to achieve that goal.
- Improve the key skills that will bring your actions into alignment with your faith.
- Maximize your environment so you’re surrounded with people and tools to support you in positive ways.
- Take action to embrace God and bring your behaviors at work into alignment with your stated beliefs.
