One of my all-time favorite movies is the 1991 City Slickers.

In the movie, Mitch Robbins (played by Billy Crystal) leaves the busy Manhattan lifestyle to vacation at a ranch in the country…

The reason?

He felt lost.

He was knee-deep in a mid-life crisis. His wife was ready to leave him, he felt empty… like he needed to “find himself.”

So, he and a couple of friends headed out to the ranch. There, he met a tough cowboy named Curly Washburn (played by Jack Palance), who was about to show Mitch the lesson of a lifetime.

As they were horseback riding, Curly shared how true cowboys are a dying breed.

“It still means something to me though. Moving the herd across the river, riding through the valley… there’s nothing like bringing in the herd.”

“See, now that’s great… Your life make sense to you,” says Mitch.

Curly chuckles. “You city folk, you worry about a lot of __________”

“___________?! My wife basically told me she doesn’t want me around!” Mitch exclaimed.

“You all come here at about the same age with the same problems. Spend about 50 weeks a year getting knots in your rope and then you think two weeks out here will untie them for you. None of you get it…

... do you know what the secret of life is?” Curly asked.

“No, what?” says Mitch anxiously as he anticipates receiving the answer he's been waiting his entire life to uncover.

Curly smiles, raises his hand and holds up one finger:

“This.”

“Your finger?” asks Mitch.

“ONE THING. Just one thing. You stick to that and everything else don’t mean ________________________.”

“That’s great, but what’s the one thing?” Mitch implores him to share.

“That’s what you’ve got to figure out…” says Curly and rides away…

This is always a scene that inspired me.

Because what Curly describes here is the heart of what we all need to discover.

You see, what Curly calls “Figuring out your One Thing”, Jesus said…

“Jesus replied: “Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.’ This is the first and greatest commandment. And the second is like it: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’” (Matthew 22:37-39, NIV)

Your WHAT is a powerful force which is rooted inside of you.

It is the essence of what you love to do to serve the Lord by serving others while being exceptional at it.

It’s what puts fire in your soul. Your WHAT comes as naturally to you as breathing.

And, the best part?

The more you're able to recognize and develop your WHAT while crafting your life and career and family according to it...

The more freedom you’ll feel.

The happier you’ll be.

The more success you'll experience.

Now I don’t want to get too “woo-woo” about it...

But, your WHAT isn’t something you choose. Your WHAT GOD has chosen for you.

“How’s it possible for someone to have one thing they overwhelmingly LOVE to do?”

“What if I don’t have a WHAT?”

“Why should I spend my time figuring out what my WHAT is?”

And, I have to admit that these types of questions make me sad, because I KNOW in my heart of hearts…

Maybe this is true for you?

This email is already getting too long, and I don’t want to take up more of your time…

But this is extremely important wouldn't you say?

• What is Your WHAT?

Rejoicing, On the Victory Side!
