In Others’ Words: Anything At All

Mondays are always a bit daunting, aren’t they?

It’s the start of the week — lots to do in my corner of the world, and I am for sure and certain there’s plenty to do in your corner of the world too.

Maybe you woke up with the sound of a lot of “mustn’ts” and “don’ts” and “shouldn’ts” ringing in your ears. Maybe there’s even an “impossible” staring you down.

Here’s what I suggest: Ignore ‘em.

Let’s go with Shel Silverstein’s go-for-your-dream optimism and believe anything can happen … anything can be.

Walking into today … and tomorrow … and the day after that … it’s so much easier without the weight of “won’ts” and “never haves.”

Am I confronting today — pursuing my dreams — in my own strength? No, no and no. Been there, failed at that. My confidence is in knowing I don’t have to do life in my own strength. (Deut. 31:6)

In Yours Words: What’s your Monday look like? How do you push back the can’ts and the mustn’ts and live today with the courage to pursue your dreams?
