I’ve written about this before. But this is something I have to continuously be reminded of. The way my mind works, I tend to go big from the start.

Remember the Future, Live Fearlessly
I borrowed this saying from church last night: Remember the future, live fearlessly. Easier said than done, but when we realize what our future is as Christians, we can truly can live fearlessly.
