During my time as a staff member of a ship-based charity, I was directly involved in helping to deliver humanitarian services to remote island locations for years. I’ve seen the impact of delivering life-saving health services, drinking water, and disaster recovery supplies to communities who truly needed help.

If I won the lottery
Recently I read a news article about someone having won the largest lottery prize in USA history. Said to be a gross figure of $1.6 billion, it is expected to thoroughly change someone’s life. I spent the rest of that day musing about what I would do if I were to win such an entirely obnoxious amount of cash. This thought kept me entertained to the point that in bed that evening, I got out my computer and put together a spreadsheet setting out what I might spend all of that moolah on.

I was invited to speak at the International Christian Church in Port Vila, Vanuatu on October 30, 2016. This is what I shared.
No Anxiety Allowed…applied?
So what does “no anxiety allowed” look like? Does it look like never being thoughtful, never planning, never considering safety signs? If it does, surely there will be a lot of people who will not even consider it possible, much less attainable for the responsible adult. What if it’s not quite that extreme? Though we’ll end up trying the extremes along the way, what if it’s a personal sweet spot somewhere between being useless because of worry, and being careless in an effort to avoid worry?
The no anxiety life is the life of being free of the worries which cannot achieve actual results. It is the life where concern is allowed, but not permitted to grow into oppressive weight.
