How do you know what you're supposed to do with your life? There's so many different jobs out there, so many different options. We don't have enough time to sit and sound all of them to figure it out. Thankfully, there's this concept that helped me. All of those possible jobs break down into six possible things. And the good news is, two of them you're always going to love doing. The framework is called The Working Genius by Patrick Lencioni. Every job has six areas of genius, things that people could possibly love, hate, and then don't mind doing. Now, if you could find two of these that you love, truly love, like no matter the context, no matter how tired you are, you will love to do these things. As long as you pursue something that has these things, you'll be good. Now, the first one is the genius of wonder, identifying what's broken and what could be better. Do you really love poking holes in things and seeing what's missing and just getting this feeling that something is off? It's the genius of wonder. Next is the genius of invention. No matter the context, no matter if you know nothing about it, you can come up with tons of ideas on how to fix the problem that's broken. Doesn't mean they're great ideas, but you got tons of ideas on how to do it. Next is discernment. This isn't Holy Spirit discernment, this isn't data discernment. You love to be a part of making the decision. You get so much joy being included in making that decision. Are you noticing the trend? Once something is broken, we have to come up with ideas to fix what's broken, then decide which idea is best. It goes from beginning to end. Next, we have galvanizing. Once we have a decision, getting people excited about it and moving them to action, lifting the energy in the room, casting vision and charging people up to release them to go do it. Then there's enablement, the people that receive the vision, that do things on other people's terms. They receive the vision and go out and execute, do the job. Just tell them what to do. They're also excellent encouragers. That's the genius of enablement. And finally, the genius of tenacity. These people love to make sure that we did it to completion, check the things off the list. They don't necessarily have to be the one that does it, but they will organize the things to make sure that they actually get done, checking with the people that last 10%. Make sure that we actually land the plane. Do you know which of those two energize you and brings you joy? No matter what context, you love doing them. For me, I love coming up with inventions and helping to be a part of the decision process. What is it for you? What has God gifted you with that brings you energy and joy? And once you figure that out, find a job where you can maximize those geniuses. And for the other ones that you're going to have to do at some point, surround yourself with people that can help you. Build relationships. And of course, always pray about it. Let the Lord lead you. God bless our friends today. Give them strength, peace, wisdom, knowledge, understanding, and guidance to find the thing that they're called to do. It's in Jesus name I pray. Amen. God bless you, friends.
