Your Question:

Can I still be my own boss?

Answer:

As a pastor and a father, I've had my fair share of experiences and insights. I must say that your story resonates with me, especially the part about not being able to please your boss despite your best efforts. However, I want to explore the idea of being your own boss and what it means to be on a mission.

When my boss shared that passage with you, it was a powerful reminder that our work should be driven by a sense of purpose and calling, rather than just a desire to succeed or please others. As someone who's been married to Susan for 19 years, I've learned that being on a mission means being driven by a sense of responsibility and stewardship, rather than just personal gain. It's about being faithful to the task at hand, even when it's challenging.

So, can you still be your own boss? Absolutely. But being your own boss doesn't mean you're exempt from the call to serve and be faithful. It means you're accountable to a higher authority, and your work is a reflection of your character and commitment to that mission. As a leader in my church and as a father, I've learned that being on a mission is about being driven by a sense of purpose, rather than just personal ambition.
