Get out your phone and do something useful with it.
Take initiative with someone.
You know that guy in the band that you don’t know as well, or the team member you’ve never talked with one on one, or the person’s texts you’ve ignored the last few times or the person who popped into your head when you read “take initiative with someone”?
Take initiative.
Today. Ask them to dinner or drinks or popsicles.
Today. Now. Right now.
If you aren’t willing to take initiative for the sake of others (and for the sake of your life), eventually you will become relationally bankrupt.
Talk less
Listen way more
Give attention (unselfish), as opposed to paying attention (expecting something in return)
Nothing is happening on Netflix, Twitter, Facebook, Periscope or e-mail that will be more life giving and meaningful than carrying out this task.
You can do this. You’re out of practice but you can do this.
