HabitFast Journey-Day 33-Conquer Self

The first and greatest victory is to conquer yourself; to be conquered by yourself is of all things most shameful and vile.

— Plato —

HABIT

I’ve felt the shame and vile Plato is talking about.  My addiction conquered me many years ago and for 27.5 years I’ve been trying to conquer myself and the committee in my head one day at a time.

We are 33 days into this Lenten-HabitFast Journey.  And whether or not you chose to join us in pursuit of winning your very own EagleLaunch/HabitFast, “I kicked some major HABIT” T-Shirt, I pray you’ve developed a desire or a thirst for becoming better.

We all have the ability to improve by conquering ourselves one day at a time.

BTW…the process is a little easier when we take God along with us…he made us wonderfully.

Psalm 139:13, “For you created my inmost being; you knit me together in my mother’s womb.  I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful, I know that full well.”  (NIV)

HabitFast Journey Action Steps:

1.  Start the day-reflect, meditate, journal and prayerfully turn your HabitFast plan and day over to God.

2.  Continue the day- stay in conscience contact with God.

3.  End of day evaluation- reflect, review, journal and give yourself a grade for the day.

4.  End of day planning-review your HabitFast Plan and note your 3 “big rocks” for tomorrow.

5.  End of day prayer-place your plan, big rocks, negative triggers and tomorrow in God’s hands.
