That’s the reminder for all of us today. I type this as I sit in a beautiful lounge in London’s airport remembering a great friend, Lucky, who is now with God. But to be honest with you, we were the Lucky ones who got to know him on a personal level.
Lives of great men all remind us, we can make our lives sublime, and, departing, leave behind us, footprints on the sands of time.
Henry Wadsworth Longfellow

One message I want us to take from his life was his constant conversations with God. And he did some extraordinary things based on paying attention to his gut/instincts/spirit. His conversations were with God as to what to do, what to say and where to go. He was incredibly wise, generous, loving, and kind on an out of this world level. That’s where I want us, going to God in the 1,000 decisions we make every day asking what He would have us to do and then listening for His cues, nudges and direction. It’s like living life with one foot on earth and one foot in heaven being continually guided and directed by God to a successful life.
And that success could mean something different for everyone. Jay Shetty blew me away when he talked about being a billionaire, not in terms of money but in terms of the number of people who he would like to positively impact during his life. Sounds like success to me! What’s your definition of success? May Lucky inspire us all to enjoy life fully following God’s will and direction in every moment. May our conversations take place in heaven asking God for His will to be done in our lives. Lucky, we miss you!!!
