New Policy for Living

[et_pb_section admin_label="section"][et_pb_row admin_label="row"][et_pb_column type="4_4"][et_pb_text admin_label="Text"]Good Morning,“Countercyclical compensatory fiscal policy”: As an economics major in college back in… well some time ago, this was one of those terms that I found rolled off my tongue. It is just fun to say.It puts forth the idea that to make a significant impact on the economy policies may have to be enacted that run counter to the current trend. Resources may have to be redirected in order to make the change needed.In many ways the same thing is true for us personally. We say we want to grow professionally. We say we want to make better use of our time. We say we want to develop a deeper spiritual communion with God. Yet once Monday hits, our routine, our schedule, our priorities get caught up in the wave of doing the same things we have been doing all along. Before we know it, the next Monday rolls around and we have not done anything countercyclical to bring about the changes we say we desire. The resources of our time and talents have not been redirected at all.So, at the beginning of this week what will you do that is counter to the same old routine you may be stuck in? What resources will you redirect that can help facilitate the changes you would like to see? This may mean getting up a bit earlier, saying no to some things that aren’t critical, making a slot in your schedule for a class, to see your kids’ ballgames, to have a time alone with God. Whatever it is will require you to be proactive because if you aren’t, the rut of life may swallow you and your spirit right up.So here is my new phrase for the week: “Countercyclical compensatory personal policy”. Say that enough times for it to sink in.Live this week on purpose,Ron Klopfenstein[/et_pb_text][/et_pb_column][/et_pb_row][/et_pb_section]
