Strive: Life is Short, Pursue What Matters

by Tim Hiller

Tim Hiller was in the throes of NFL training camp striving for a prized spot on the Indianapolis Colts' roster, when six words abruptly changed his course: “We have to let you go.” Like Tim, we are all striving for something every minute of the day, everyday―career aspirations, social status, better parenting, friendship, love, fame, financial security, achievement, and more. In most cases, these are noble and understandable pursuits. Our time is short. Our lives are busy. We want these things now. But do they even matter?

Our careers will end, our friends and family will all pass someday, and our finances can't leave this world with us. Someone will reject us. Ultimately, the world will forget our accomplishments. But what if we instead strive for the best thing possible―both in this life, and the eternal one to come?

In Strive, former collegiate and NFL quarterback Tim Hiller leads you on a year-long journey, taking small steps each week on the path to making your life matter . . . to developing more and more into the person God designed you to be. Hiller provides daily encouragement, challenges, and resources―straight from God's word―to help each of us Strive toward a life of significance. Our lives are short. Together, let's pursue what matters.

My family has been fortunate enough to have had Tim Hiller as mentor and coach. Tim truly exemplifies what it means to lead by example. He shows that excellence is determined by more than the end results we achieve. It is determined by what we strive for each and every day and how we react when facing adversity. He has shown that by striving for our best each and every day, the results will take care of themselves. Tim is a true servant leader and lives what he speaks. We have preordered Strive: Life is Short, Pursue What Matters and look forward to the additional wisdom he has to share!

Honestly, I'm frustrated! This booked was so darned good I couldn't put it down and I came straight here to praise it! It's nearly 2:00 a.m. and my alarm will be going off in 3 short hours. Thanks Tim!

Seriously, Tim has been blessed with an extraordinary gift and I'm thankful for the promoting I had to order this book. I know it will have a profound and positive impact on all those who receive the message. I'm ordering 10 tomorrow to send anonymously to my closest "pulse-check" friends.

Tim is a thoughtful author who uses his personal experiences to bring Biblical truths to life. He uses both positive life experiences and deep disappointments to show how a deep faith enhances one's ability to keep moving forward toward a goal. He has a broad appeal for anyone who aspires to leadership .

So looking forward to reading! Tim's insights, personal experiences and faith journey continue to inspire myself and so many people he connects with. Using real-life examples and referencing many scholars/faith leaders, he definitely has a talent for highlighting truth and application from Scripture!

Tim is a gifted leader and speaker, and I am excited that he is now offering his insights through this new book. Nothing will have a greater impact on your life than learning to pursue the game plan that God has for you.

Tim Hiller is a man of strong character. He is purposeful, a natural leader. I would recommend his work to anyone interested in a better understanding of their own purpose through the thoughts/words of someone who lives his everyday, and in every way…
