Secret #125 Not Every Opportunity Is an Obligation

Every opportunity people give you—even ministry opportunities in the church—should not automatically be understood as an obligation from God. There are so many good things people want you to do with your short life, you will never be able to do them all. And if you try to do them all, you will miss God’s best for you. If you miss God’s best, you will not finish this life well. Hence, the ability to determine the difference between what is good and what is God’s best for you is a powerful advantage in life.

The question is: How can YOU figure out what's merely a good opportunity and what's a God opportunity?

To answer that question, I encourage you to observe the decision-making genius of Jesus.

For a FREE PDF download on how Jesus determined the difference between a mere good opportunity and a God opportunity, GO HERE.

You have my enthusiastic permission to share this FREE PDF download with as many people as you wish.

Thanks for reading Amazing Time Management Secrets.

* Secret #117 Prioritize or Drown



"I need more time!"

We've all said this before. But think about it for a minute. Can anyone really get more time?

The truth is: No one can get more time. Time is the great equalizer. We all have the same 24/7.

This being the case, there's only ONE thing we CAN do: priortize or drown.

*Secret 112 What's Most Important Right Now?

We may never actually say that we can do it all, but the way most of us are living our lives—one would think that we believe we really can do it all.

The truth is you can't—and shouldn't even try—to do it all.

Think about it. Not everything screaming for your time, attention, and energy is worth doing.

Instead of trying to do it all, why not focus on doing that which is truly most important?

What would be "most important" right now for you?

Secret #105 Time-Saving Techniques Are Good, But Being Clear About What to Live for Is Better


"We can be quite sure that whatever God wishes us to devote ourselves to He will grant us time enough in which to do it. Our responsibility is to find out exactly what He wants and hold resolutely to that. One of our greatest problems is that we misunderstand what God asks of us, either by adding all kinds of extra responsibilities or by possessing only a hazy idea of what He wishes. We will gain more time by properly understanding His will for us than by all time-saving suggestions put together."

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.
