In this inspiring and practical presentation from the Reflections series, guest speaker Craig Harrison explores how to navigate life’s biggest transitions – aging, retirement, unexpected diagnoses, and the loss of loved ones – by cultivating an abundant, Christ-centered mindset.
Grounded in Scripture (Psalm 90:12, John 10:10, Colossians 3:13) and modern neuroplasticity, Craig highlights that while we cannot control every life event, we always have the power to choose our response. With his signature humor and candid personal stories, he outlines a clear roadmap for putting your practical affairs in order so you can spend the rest of your life truly living, adding life to your years rather than just years to your life.
Key Themes & Highlights:
- Neuroplasticity & Lifelong Growth: Understanding that our brains are not fixed; at any age, we can rewire our thinking, let go of past negative cycles, and choose gratitude, patience, and hope.
- The Three Mindset Questions: Shifting your inner dialogue by asking: What is really happening? What can I control? What can I choose?
- Practical vs. Spiritual Preparation: The importance of practical end-of-life planning (wills, directives, funeral wishes) to relieve burdens on loved ones, followed by the emotional and spiritual work of making peace and forgiving others.
- Living Abundantly Today: Embracing simple joys, reconnecting with loved ones, staying curious, and building a deeper, everyday walk with God rather than postponing happiness for “someday.”
