Four principles of One Month to Live; a preview.

Four Principles

As you embark on your 30 day journey you will encounter four principles. They are:
Live Passionately—living each day as if it were your last.
Love Completely—showing others love that transcends and transforms.
Learn Humbly—growing through your problems and pains.
Leave Boldly—creating a legacy that will impact generations.
These are not new concepts. If you have done much reading, you have encountered similar principles.  I see many parallels with Stephen Covey’s The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People and Rick Warren’s The Purpose Driven Life. I am certain that something similar to these principles has been laced through hundreds of other books and articles that I have read over the course of my life.  The wording changes over the years, but the core principle survives—and that’s a good thing. Principles endure where the jargon of the decade comes and goes.
This month, we examine these principles in the context of having so very little time left on this earth. Consider them once more as we dive into day one of this challenge.
Live Passionately—living each day as if it were your last.
Love Completely—showing others love that transcends and transforms.
Learn Humbly—growing through your problems and pains.
Leave Boldly—creating a legacy that will impact generations.

Join with churches and individuals in Western Oklahoma and across the country as we take the 30-day challenge.  Yes, I want to participate online.
