Five Commands for the Living

Written by 4 Comments

Friday, I shared Bonnie Ware’s Five Regrets of the Dying.

At the Storyline Conference in Nashville, Tennessee, Donald Miller shared his Five Commands for the Living. These contrast a life of regret, when we focus our decisions based on how we want the end of our story to turn out.

I think they’re worth sharing here. We all should work and live with these in mind.

Donald Miller’s Five Commands for the Living

1. Don’t ignore your dreams.

2. Keep work and relationships in balance.

3. Project your God-given self into the world.

4. Cultivate deep friendships.

5. Be grateful.

How could a life with this kind of intention turn out differently in the end?

Psalm 27:13 NIV

I remain confident of this: I will see the goodness of the LORD in the land of the living.
