Half Time of Significance +++
"Half Time" by Bob Buford is a powerful and positive resource book for anyone considering a change in career path or wanting to live life more significantly. Never heard from anyone as positive as the author who looked at transitioning so honestly and without disdain. His outlook and views have brought much hope to me as I enter my 40s to re-look, as well as re-think how I would want to live my next "half time" doing something close to my heart and at the same time glorifying God.Bob Buford mentioned that it is not a matter of success but significance. Sucess brings one to the top of a corporate ladder and one might earn lots of money but a successful person will one day ask 'What's next?'. However, one who lives significantly uses his gifts and talents, and with a satisfaction of heart ask 'What do I want to be remembered for, and who have I touched?'.
For someone who has worked in a Church, yet leaves to search for "the next significant half time" like myself, is but encouraged to know that my next "half time" can be more significant than my last...
Thanks to Pastor Patrick Foo who gave me this book during a time of transitioning.
