Recently I had the pleasure of sitting in on a sermon where my pastor spoke about the act of losing one’s way in life. The sermon was mostly based around one’s spiritual journey, but he cleverly encompassed the message not only spiritually but also relationally and within the working world. My pastor presented the thought that, “once you lose your why, you lose your way!”
Whether it’s a first date, a wedding day, graduation, a new car, a new house, or even the first day on a new job, we can all recall a moment in time where we were excited about what we were doing or getting ready to do. Our way seemed clear because we had a strong reason why we needed or wanted the things we were after. But over time, new becomes old, shiny becomes dull, and we forget our why.
