Welcome back to Day 30 of 31 Days to a Life of Purpose!
Today, I want to share with you about the last book in the giveaway – Lara Casey’s Make It Happen: Surrender Your Fear. Take the Leap. Live on Purpose.
Lara explains her purpose for writing this book:
This is the story of how I faced my fear, took the leap, and got a life. In my case, a perfectly imperfect, fulfilling, joyful life as a mama, a working woman, and a grateful wife. This is the story of how I chose to make “it” happen and how you can too. “It” is what matters. “It” is what lasts longer than you. “It” is a greater purpose than ours.
This book is part autobiography, part journal, and packed with thought-provoking questions and insight into why we struggle so much with truly living on purpose. Lara openly shares about her own struggles in living with purpose from eating disorders and relationship failures to discovering true faith and happiness as a wife, mother and entrepreneur.
Surrender Your Fear
Lara teaches that making “it” happen requires us to stop chasing perfect, to meet and deal with our fears, and to let go of the fears that keep us from truly living. We must decide that we are not going to live this way anymore.
Take the Leap
Once we have decided to surrender our lives to truly live with purpose, we have to begin to trust. God has given us many promises, and we have to trust that He is able to take our lives and make them for His purpose.
Live on Purpose
Lara identifies the equation for a life of purpose as My Life + God’s Way = Living on Purpose. Living on purpose doesn’t mean we are working harder or keeping busy. It means we are being intentional in what we choose to do. We are thinking about our actions. We are working smarter, not harder.
Between the book and her website, Lara has put together numerous resources to help you act on the decision to pursue purpose. Throughout the book, there are questions and opportunities for reflection. At the end, Lara walks readers through five steps for how to living intentionally. The website includes art prints to encourage you to live with purpose and printables to help you in planning.
This is definitely a must-read book, which is why I am including it in my giveaway of 3 books on Living with Purpose. The giveaway end tomorrow night at 11:59pm.
