Hi Tribe, Welcome to the first Growth Hack Your Life email series. I'm excited to share with you life hacks I have learned over the years to help me live my life on mission: spiritually, personally, professionally. My hope is that you gain some insight or find an interesting hack that makes you think, laugh or share. I used to blog a lot and share on social media, but then I went dark. I'm feeling restless and think it's time to start sharing again. This will be an ongoing series (once or twice a month) of encouragement, tips, tricks, hope and hacks to help you live on mission. First hack: Ever want to send your future self some motivation/words of wisdom? On futureme.org you can write emails that are sent on a future date. Give it a try! Have you ever heard of a guy named Joshua in the Bible? He was seriously a good leader. One of my favorite quotes from him is found in Joshua 3:5 "Consecrate yourselves, for tomorrow the Lord will do amazing things among you." He was getting ready to lead the people into a new land. To consecrate simply means to set apart or dedicate. If you want a deeper dive on his life, read Joshua chapters 1 - 3. There is so much we can learn about boldness and leadership in those chapters. How can you apply that to your life today? Finally, I'm going to Ghana soon! It will be my 3rd trip to Ghana and my 6th international mission trip. I'm going to help support International Justice Mission in the work they are starting there. I'll share more details later. Living on Mission, Bill thirtyfive.io | | | |
