Have
you ever felt frustrated at the end of the day, wondering what
happened to all your good intentions? Meyer provides encouragement to
live each day on purpose, to live the life God meant for you.
She
covers many topics, such as what we know is God's will and the
importance of being willing to choose it. She reminds us that what we
do here matters for eternity. She writes about the importance of
wisdom, making the most of our time, how to avoid wasting time, the
necessity of determination and trusting God, planning yet listening
to God, the benefit of being organized, and the importance of
controlling thoughts.
Meyer
provides general encouragement. She does not give any strategies nor
practical steps to do what she encourages. For example, on being
organized, she writes, “Find a plan or system that works for
you...” (125) She also suggests reading other books to find
specific help but does not provide a list of possible ones to choose
from.
I have found Meyer to always be encouraging and this book is no exception.
We are encouraged to live our purpose with passion every day. She
writes, “Why not make a decision that you are going to pursue the
best life you can possibly have, and then actively go for it?”
(156) What is missing is a strategy or practical suggestions on how
to actively go for that best life.
I
recommend this book to those who have the tools for disciplines such
as time management and organization but just need some encouragement
to get going.
Food
for thought: “How would our lives change if we made all of our
decisions with a view of eternity in mind?” (27)
