New Horizons: Living the Faith as a Young Professional
In this episode, Rob Hays invites young professionals to shift their focus from ambition to excellence. Ambition often fixates on outcomes we can't control—success, recognition, influence—while excellence is rooted in what we can control: our inputs—our prayer life, study, and the care we give to our daily work.
Drawing from the teachings of St. Josemaria Escriva, Rob offers two key ways to pursuing excellence in our professional and personal lives:
1. Study: Dedicating ourselves to ongoing formation, seeing study as both a professional and spiritual responsibility.
2. Little things add up to big things: The "little things" – carrying out the small duties of each moment with love and attention.
Rob also reflects on prestige as modeled in the life of Christ, not as a goal to pursue, but as something that arises naturally from a life of excellence, and which becomes a powerful tool for apostolate when grounded in prayer and humility.
Resources mentioned in the episode include: "The Way, Furrow, The Forge" and "Friends of God".
