Zoo-Wee Mama! Bite Off More Than You Can Chew (On Purpose)

Bite off more than you can chew?

What if that’s the point?

We love to say things like:

“

God won’t give you more than you can handle.”

But what if He does?

Wherever you are in your faith - Christian - Jewish - Muslim - Buddhist - Agnostic - Atheist - I believe this holds true: when you bite off more than you can chew, you are forced to go all-in. You push yourself to your limits. And, you rely on others for help, too.

For my faith worldview, the question is this: what if He allows more than we can handle, not to crush us, but to deepen our dependence?

To pull us closer.

To remind us: you were never meant to do this alone.

Go all-in. No regrets. Lean on God.

Lean on your friends. Ask for help.

Recently, I reframed asking for help—and it changed everything.

When you refuse to ask for help, you're actually robbing someone of joy.

You're blocking them from:

Living out their purpose
Putting their core values into action
Doing something deeply good

Key Reminder

Wherever you are in your faith, lean into it.

Not just when you’re desperate.

Not just when it’s easy.

Lean in when you’re strong.

Lean in when you’re scared.

Lean in because that’s where trust grows.

Everything I’m doing right now points back to one thing: Purpose.

Meaning.
Significance.
The heartbeat of the 100 Year Manifesto.

Live a life that echoes into eternity.

Live with a 100 Year Focus.

You don’t have enough time to do it all.

But you do have enough time to do what you’re called to do.

Go all-in. No regrets.

🤯 ZOO-WEE MAMA MOMENT

Straight outta Diary of a Wimpy Kid—and honestly, that’s how I feel most days.

Biting off more than I can chew. Zoo-wee-mama is a phrase I heard over and over as my 10-year-old son Macallister listened to the Diary of a Wimpy Kid audiobooks.

And, I just LOVE the phrase. Zoo-wee-mama!

Plate overflowing.

Questions running wild:

Will people show up at new Purpose Fueled locations?
Will current attendees keep coming back?
Can we make it better every month?
How do I fit the Purpose Fueled growth alongside writing two books, pursuing my Master’s Degree full-time, fatherhood, self-care, speaking engagements, the growth of the 100 Year Manifesto…and on and on…
And then even more ideas: Do we start 1:1 coaching? Should I build a team of coaches?
Ultimately, how do I have the greatest impact on the greatest number of people while living out my 100 Year Manifesto—my true calling in life?
