Just got off of a confernce call with a guy I am coaching through YourOneDegree. One of the exercises is what we call a Post-It Note timeline. One writes significant events and people on Post-It notes and then arrange them in a certain order on a poster board.
I did this over a three day period with a consultant several years ago. It can be revolutionary. Why?
Well, if it is the case that the Lord is involved intimately in our lives, then the things that we have experienced have purpose. That purpose is to intentionally equip us for the work for which He designed us.
By stepping back and looking at those significant events and people we began to see patterns. It happened when I did the exercise. It has happened with every one with whom I have done the exercise.
Some dead person said, "The unexamined life is not worth living." Good stuff. True stuff. The Post-It Note Timeline is a good way to do that... Oh, if you are interested I can help you with that.
This is a good process; I've done it two or three different times along the way. Interesting lessons come into focus. This is probably good to do again whenever there are significant changes in one's life.
