Secret #99 Hula Hoops & Life Lessons

1. There's a connection between the smile on your face and the number of hoops you choose to hula.

2. Make sure the few hoops you choose to hula are the most important ones.

3. In order to hula a number of hoops at one time, you'll need to get into a sustainable rhythm.

4. The more hoops you hula, the more important that you establish a center and then let everything move around that.


5. While everyone has a differnt number of hoops they can hula, you can't hula every hoop.

6. If you have more hoops than you can hula, you'd better figure out fast which ones you can drop... and which ones you can't.

7. It's a beautiful day in your life when you can hula less hoops without frustration or guilt.

8. Say these words out loud: "God doesn't expect me to hula every hoop offered to me."


9. Other people will try to make you hula their hoops.

Secret #98 Repent of the Pride of Busyness



"Driven people operate on the precept that a reputation for busyness is a sign of success and personal importance. Thus they attempt to impress people with the fullness of their schedule. They may even express a high level of self-pity, bemoaning the 'trap' of responsibility they claim to be in, wishing aloud that there was some possible release from all they have to live with. But just try to suggest a way out!"
--Gordon MacDonald, Ordering Your Private World

Do YOU need to repent of the pride of busyness?

Secret #70 Consistency Isn't Always a Virtue
















Take a good look at the picture above and think about it.

Consistency is only a virute if you're hitting the bull's-eye.

When it comes to managing your time (and life):
1. Have you clarified with painful specificity what the bull's-eye is for this season of your life?
2. Are YOU hitting the bull's-eye?

If you can't answer these two questions, then it doesn't really matter how consistent you are.
