Wake-up calls are events which provide opportunities to make needed changes before it’s too late to make them.
Perhaps a smaller version of a hugely undesirable consequence occurs, and we have the potential advantage of dealing with a situation before more serious things happen.
What is your experience with wake-up calls? Can you think of times in your life when you were awakened and stimulated out of your day-to-day to take action that you might not have otherwise taken?
Wake-up calls often occur in the area of health because health-related events can often start out slowly and build. Similarly, financial and relational aspects of life can worsen if we have been paying insufficient attention to them.
Are there any wake-up calls that you are not now heeding? What would be required to listen and to make desirable changes? If you have been ignoring or resisting, why has that been the case?
