Everything is Up for Revision

A few years ago, my wife and I heard several teens deliver a Sunday message at their church. Their individual messages struck common chords about compassion, acceptance, and communal growth. One of the young speakers urged the congregants to view life from the perspective that everything is up for revision.

Consider that for a moment. Rather than believing and acting indiscriminately (or perfunctorily) based on “the way we do things around here”, we pause and think critically. We ask ourselves, “How can I appreciate this situation through a different lens?”

Everything. Is. Up. For. Revision.

How we view one another. The way we speak. What we read. Where we worship—and why we worship in the manner we do. Our fitness routine. The lack of a fitness routine. What we eat. Who we socialize with—or do not. Social media connections.  Our job trajectory. Financial planning.  Sweat equity in our community. Our news sources. How we give back. Our self-talk. What else….?

Considered evaluation can alter, broaden, and strengthen our belief system.  We gather evidence and remain vigilant for the need to shift direction.

Examine the Six Fs of your life. Where is revision needed? What small step(s) can you take this week?

Your life. Your choices.

Everything is up for revision.
