Flip the FOMO

In week two of What Does God Have Planned for Me Next? Doug Wekenman looks at why the fear of missing out makes it so hard both to choose God's plans and to stay in them. As our options multiply, our commitment and contentment shrink, and we spend our lives second-guessing the story we are already living. The way through is to flip the FOMO: stop fearing the paths you did not take, and start fearing that you will miss the life right in front of you. Own the decision, plant yourself, and learn to remain.

The story worth telling is not the one about why you left. It is the one about why you stayed.
