What part of your routine do you always try to skip if you can?

View all responses

Every day I work to skip away. I’m a skipper because I try to opt out of life’s distractions. I love to skip the following things in order to make much room for joy in my life. I strive to skip:

• Negativity,
• Unhappiness,
• Loneliness,
• Discouragement,
• Anger,
• Depression,
• Frustration,
• Self-righteousness,
• Jealousness,
• Worry
• Fear,
• Boasting,
• Addiction,
• Self-harm,
• Unkindness,
• Snap judgments,
• Self-focus,
• And anything else that distracts me from contentment, joy, and inner peace.

Joy won’t be an illusion if you’ll start skipping! Skipping with joy is the walk of hope. Learn to skip the things that are tripping you and making your happiness illusive!

Life’s great illusion

Pleasure seeking is an illusion
Because the pursuit of happiness
Is always elusive.
It leads to confusion
And ends in delusion.

Seeking Jesus
Keeps joy peaking
In my heart
But pleasure-seeking
Is joy leaking.

Jesus is my joy,
My greatest treasure.
He fills me beyond measure
With supernatural pleasure.

Set aside distraction.
Let the living Jesus
Be your constant attraction.
