On the second day God began to speak. John, you can take that job if you want to. He was right; it had False Self written all over it. The following week three phone calls came in amazing succession. The first was from the Washington firm; I told them I was not their man, to call somebody else.

As I hung up the phone my false self was screaming, What are you doing?! The next day the phone rang again; it was my wife, telling me that the university had called wanting to know where my first tuition installment was. On the third day a call came from a longtime friend who had been praying for me and my decision. Two roads diverged in a wood and I, I took the one less traveled by, And that has made all the difference.

When you look at the structure of the false self men tend to create, it always revolves around two themes: seizing upon some sort of competence and rejecting anything that cannot be controlled. For murdering his brother, God sentences Cain to the life of a restless wanderer; five verses later Cain is building a city Genesis , Genesis That sort of commitment — the refusal to trust God and the reach for control — runs deep in every man.

You literally sacrifice your soul and your true power when you insist on controlling things, like the guy Jesus talked about who thought he had finally pulled it all off, built himself some really nice barns, and died the same night.

What will it profit a man if he gains the whole world, and loses his own soul? Canadian biologist Farley Mowat had a dream of studying wolves in their native habitat, out in the wilds of Alaska. Ask what makes you come alive, and go do it. What the world needs is people who have come alive. Once you have become re-acquainted with and act from what makes you come alive, then you have taken the first step towards becoming a mission-focused leader—bringing meaning, purpose, direction for your life.

Mission-focused leaders are focused practical idealists who empower others to act from their potential. What makes you come alive is fuel to give you energy for your life and work—an essential ingredient in these tough times.
