I can see results in the long run. Even if I can't see results or see the fruit of it today,

I know that in the long run, these non-negotiables will make all the difference in my life.

Hey friends, welcome back to the Ruth Joe Simon's podcast.

Well, today, we are talking about what to do in seasons of busyness.

We are entering what is arguably the busiest time of year.

It's filled with so many good things, right?

I can think of all sorts of things I'm looking forward to in this season.

However, it just feels packed.

It feels super busy.

And a lot of times in the middle of busyness and packed schedules and not a lot of margin, it sometimes can feel overwhelming.

And a lot of times, I think we in the middle of it feel discouraged.

We feel sometimes disillusioned with our own lack of discipline or our own lack of growth.

Sometimes we just get just flat out exhausted and overwhelmed at all that we have to do.

And so I want to talk today about three non-negotiables in my life and how

they make a difference in the day-to-day. You know, we have lots of lifelong non-negotiables,

things that we can say this is literally how I will live my life. Absolutely. But I'm starting more in a very

tangible everyday kind of way because you've heard me say it before and I remember that we've done

an entire season about taking one small step. We've talked about in previous seasons of the podcast,

what's one small thing we can do? Do you guys remember that for any of

you listeners, long-time listeners? We would end every podcast with what's one small step you can

start with today? Because the truth is our lives are impacted ultimately by the small steps we

take day by day. It doesn't feel like it, right?
