We are in the middle of a series entitled “We Are Here.” It’s an important reminder for us all when we think about our life, our purpose, and our calling. If we are here, we need to be here. To be present.
In the first episode, I talked about the power of your purpose and how your purpose is foundational to being present. In this episode, I am going to talk about why your presence matters.
The important thing to remember is that people are counting on you to bring that thing that only you can specifically bring. And while it may be something you say and/or something you do, it begins with your presence.
Your Presence Matters!

- Identify all of the roles that you play in life.

- Develop an action plan to be more present in the high priority roles of your life. Be specific about some quick-hit, high impact moments that will help you gain traction in making your presence felt.
- Identify things that are getting in the way of you being more present. These could be things like fear of failure (or success which sometimes brings added expectations), time wasters, and proper planning and prioritization just to name a few. Develop a plan to mitigate these risks allowing your presence to be felt in all aspects of your life.
- Most of all, pray that God will reveal to you why your presence matters and give you wisdom and discernment about how to be more present this year and beyond.
