QUOTE
“Keeping a journal is one of the three treasures to leave behind for the next generation.” – Jim Rohn

LESSON
On Monday January 4, 2010, I received an email titled “Jim Rohn Newsletter – Keeping a Journal.” As an avid journaler, that title caught my attention. But what Jim wrote in that message really hit home.

Jim Rohn, known as “America’s Foremost Business Philosopher,” wrote “If you’re serious about becoming a wealthy, powerful, sophisticated, healthy, influential, cultured, and unique individual, keep a journal. Don’t trust your memory. When you listen to something valuable, write it down. When you come across something important, write it down.”

He went on to say that keeping a journal is one of the three treasures to leave behind for the next generation. The other two are your pictures and your library – books, CD’s etc that taught you, that instructed you, that helped you defend your ideals. It helped you develop a philosophy. It helped you become wealthy, powerful, healthy, sophisticated and unique.

QUESTION (write down what comes to your heart)
Lord, how will journaling help me be leave a great legacy?

PRAYER
Heavenly Father, journaling is the key for people to unlock their dreams. Remove the veil for those who read this message to understand and take hold of this revelation. In Jesus name, I pray. Amen.

Blessings to leaving a rich legacy through journaling!

QUOTE
When the “WHY” gets big enough, the “HOW” will work itself out.

LESSON
As you journey through life with God, recording your adventure in a journal is a great help.

Journaling is simply a way of recording your journey with God. It helps you to pay more attention to God and is a way of way of learning to hear and respond to Him. By keeping a record you can see what God’s been doing, how far you’ve come, and where you’re going.

Keeping a journal will help you to see how God is working in your life.

QUESTION (write down what comes to your heart)
Lord, what can I do to help ensure that I journal every day?
How much time should I set aside to journal each day?
What time of the day should I journal?
And who is to hold me accountable?

to unlock YOUR dreams!

Yesterday, we began addressing the issue of Stewarding Your TIME. We learned the importance of Redeeming The Time, what that means, why it’s so important, and some simple ways to do that.

If you missed that lesson, please go back and catch up. Do it NOW!

Here is your daily quote, lesson, question, link, and prayer.

QUOTE
The unexamined life is not worth living! — Socrates

LESSON
In his book “The Life You’ve Always Wanted,” John Ortberg teaches spiritual disciplines for ordinary people.

In Chapter 5 titled “An Unhurried Life,” John explains “the practice of ’slowing’.” He states that not long after moving to Chicago, he called the wisest spiritual mentor he has ever known to ask for spiritual direction. John described the pace at which things tended to move in his current setting. He told about the rhythms of his family life and the present condition of his heart. Then John asked what he needed to do to be spiritually healthy. After a long pause, the wise mentor answered “You must ruthlessly eliminate hurry from your life.” After writing down that lesson, John asked “Now what else is there?” Another long pause and then the answer came “There is nothing else.”

John states: “The lives of the hurry-sick lack simplicity. Hurried people cannot love. Today we have largely traded wisdom for information. Love and hurry are incompatible. Jesus never hurried. Solitude is the remedy for the busyness that charms.”

To be spiritually healthy, you must ruthlessly eliminate hurry from your life!

And journaling is one of the best disciplines to slow down your RPM’s from 10,000 to 5,000 to 500.

QUESTION    (write down your what comes to your heart)
Lord, what one simple action step can I take to slow down the pace of my life.

LINK of the Day
An Unhurried Life

Prayer Power
Heavenly Father, I praise as the great I AM, the God who wants me to be still to know You. I confess that the pace of my life is too fast. It seems the harder I work, the further behind I get. Will You help me to slow down to smell the roses. I need your help. In Jesus name, I pray. Amen.

 
Blessings to use journaling to slow down and reflect!
