Do You Have a Plan for Living?

Are you navigating life with a clear sense of direction, or are you simply reacting to the world around you? Jeff discusses the importance of having a personal plan for living that reflects your faith and priorities. He explores the concept of 'haram,' which involves shaping your daily life around your beliefs. Jeff emphasizes that God's plan, unlike any human-made plan, encompasses both earthly and eternal perspectives.

Quotes

“For many of us, the past and the future are something more. They are our competition. They drive us beyond healthy limits. For some of us, much of our daily schedule, the rigors we put ourselves through, is a result of fear. We fear the future. We fear the past. And while we concern ourselves with one or both, we forget about the present, the only moment where we have some real control.” (Thoms Rainer & Art
Rainer – Simple Life, p. 52.)

“The real voyage of discovery consists not in seeking new landscapes
but in having new eyes.” (Marcel Proust)

God created us with eternity in our hearts. The problem we
experience is that our scope of living is too small. Because of our
choices and our attachment to things, we focus only on earth, and it
can’t end in lasting happiness.  (Ecclesiastes 3:11)

 But I am afraid that, as the serpent deceived Eve by his craftiness, your minds will be led astray from the simplicity and purity of devotion to Christ. (2 Corrinthians 11:3)

“Be yourself; everyone else is already taken.” (Oscar Wilde)

"It is generally allowed that no man ever found the happiness of possession proportionate to that expectation which incited his desire and invigorated his pursuit; nor has any man found the evils of life so formidable in reality, as they were described to him by his own imagination; every species of distress brings with it some peculiar supports, some unforeseen means of resisting, or powers of enduring." (Samuel Johnson)
