What story are you constantly telling yourself? Is it a story someone told you long ago…a story that you’ve never tried to make your own? Journaling is a great way to put into writing the story you should be telling yourself and is the reason I started journaling many years ago. Make your story, your story. Jeremiah 29:11-13,…

You may have noticed that I’m spending some time having you take a look at the thoughts that are flowing through your brain. Conquering an old bad habit and/or starting a new one requires the ability to think-thoughts that are supportive of your change.

A common reason people never realize they have the ability to design their own life is because they are often too worried about what others think about them. They key to designing your own life lies in your thoughts, not someone else’s. Galatians 1:10, “Am I now trying to win the approval of men or of God? …

I’ve written about the fact that our life and all we do is a by-product of our thoughts. Whenever we are trying to change a habit, changing our thinking becomes paramount. I have found I need to have standard go-to thoughts to help me speak back at the negative stuff that my committee tries to…

 Changing a habit is not an easy thing as habits are often deeply rooted out of beliefs we sometimes don’t realize we have. I believe the key to personal growth is having an ongoing desire of overcoming bad habits born out of old beliefs and replacing them with fresh, productive ones. Along with this desire…

Self-discipline is a by-product of setting goals, creating a plan to achieve the goals, executing the plan and tracking your progress. Hmm…which is exactly what we are doing on this HabitFast Journey. Hebrews 12:11, “No discipline seems pleasant at the time, but painful. Later on, however, it produces a harvest of righteousness and peace for those…

I had the opportunity to spend some time with a billionaire a few years ago and I asked him what was the main trait that contributed the most to his business success. After careful thought he said, “perseverance.” Often, the difference between success and failure is one more try. You are 17 days into this…

I have such great respect for Mr. Frankl and the quote above was most likely generated while he endured three years of the atrocities that came with living in a Nazi concentration camp during World War II. After surviving the death camp, Frankl wrote the best-seller, “Man’s Search for Meaning,” and in that book he…
