How to Live a Life of Purpose and Still Have Space to Breathe

In this episode of Space for Life, Tommy discusses the common struggle of living a purposeful, meaningful life while also creating space for rest and joy. He shares insights from a talk he gave at the New Canaan Society in Richmond, Virginia, addressing this tension. He narrates his own life journey, from being overloaded while running multiple businesses and church commitments to hitting rock bottom and finding hope through discovering the importance of margin. He outlines four key steps to living a life of purpose with margin: knowing your purpose, knowing your principles, identifying your big rocks, and accepting the dance of balancing work and rest. Tommy emphasizes the importance of clarity in one's purpose, having non-negotiable guiding principles, and having routine practices like daily time with God, weekly reviews, and observing the Sabbath. He concludes by encouraging listeners to embrace the challenge and possibility of living a purposeful life while maintaining space for joy and breathing room. Love the show?
