For this second volume of Centerline, we shift the focus from the excitement of a new launch to the grit of everyday maintenance.
Transitions have a way of revealing exactly where our foundations are shaky. Trust me, I’m in the middle of one. However, it doesn’t matter if you are navigating a move across the country or recalibrating a professional mission, the challenge remains the same: how do we keep from drifting when the landscape is constantly shifting?
This issue we look at the tools of recalibration. Below are resources and reflections for each of the four “C’s” to help you find your footing and secure your center.
The bedrock that ensures your values aren’t just fair-weather preferences.
“The most important thing in your life is not what you do; it’s who you become. That is the only thing you take into eternity.” (Dallas Willard)
The internal courage to stay calm when the system starts spinning.
“Confidence is not the belief that we can handle anything, but the conviction that God is present in everything. It is a long obedience in the same direction.” (Adapted from Eugene Peterson)
The “Black Sheep” edge that gives you the capacity to see what others miss.
“The best way to predict the future is to create it.” (Peter Drucker)
The safe harbor where we sharpen one another for the journey ahead.
“Iron sharpens iron, and one man sharpens another.” (Proverbs 27:17)
