Welcome back to 28 obstacles that will prevent you from having your Best Christmas Ever. Click subscribe to ensure you don’t miss out on any of this series.
Obstacle #3 is… No plan.
Not having a plan will make it all but impossible to have a great Christmas. “Those who fail to plan can plan to fail,” was Napoleon’s counsel. You are not simply going to stumble into your best Christmas ever. It requires a plan and intentionality. Over the next couple of weeks, we will help you put that plan together. But remember…
Find your joy. Guard your joy. Follow your joy. Not just happiness. It seems our culture has confused happiness with comfort, and following comfort will lead you to misery. Find your joy. Cherish your joy. Guard your joy. And follow your joy.
