The Good Life – January-February 2021

I didn’t. I’ve become very aware of
how bad my decisions can really be
sometimes.”
Another verse he stands by is
Jeremiah 29:11. “For I know the
plans I have for you,” declares the
Lord, “plans to prosper you and not
to harm you, plans to give you a hope
and a future.”
“I feel like this whole road I’m on
was orchestrated millions of years
ago, and I’m kind of just following
it. There’s a lot of peace in that, and
it really gives me a lot of comfort
knowing that if I’m asking God to
direct my path and chart my steps
for me, then I know for a fact that
I am exactly where I’m supposed
to be,” Hallstrom said. “It’s easy to
feel like the measure of me is how
much money our company produces,
how big our building is or how many
people work here, but it’s not. To me
it’s always going to come back to who
I am in Christ.
When this life is done… the only
thing I hope someone says about me
is that I was a guy who loved people.
I’m honestly embarrassed for the
many times in my life when I haven’t
been that way nearly enough and it’s
been more about the career and the
success. I have a long way to go, no
doubt about that.”
Living “the good life” to Hallstrom
entails a lot more than material
gain, temporary satisfaction or
worldly success. He says it’s simply
“appreciating what you have.”
“I think I’m living the good life,”
Hallstrom said. “I feel like I’m one
of the most blessed people who has
ever walked the earth, and as long as
I feel that way, I won’t take much for
granted.” •
