I was inspired by Chris Brogan’s blog post the other day. He inspired bloggers to write posts on a wide variety of topics. When my eyes scanned Chris’ list, this one jumped out at me:
10 Guilty Pleasures
My mind immediately began churning. I thought to myself, “What keeps us ministry leaders from serving strong?” It’s when we waste our time on things that do not promote our effectiveness. Sometimes these things don’t seem wrong at the time (and for some, they may not be wrong.) But I believe anything that keeps us from performing at our best is our enemy.
Here is a quick list:
1. Talking ill of someone who disagrees with you
2. Watching one more 30-minute program on TV instead of reading for self improvement
3. Skipping lunch because you’re “too busy”
4. Clicking on one more link in Facebook instead of doing your work
5. Promoting yourself on Twitter, Facebook, etc.
6. Sharing something given to you in confidence because it’s juicy and will make you look good
7. Saying “just a minute” to your child who wants to play (again)
8. Going another day without saying “I love you” to your spouse
9. Reading only stuff that proves your point
10. …
I only listed 9.
Can you think of one more?
