Making Changes (Part 2)

Making Changes (Part 2)

Psalm 68:19 NKJV "Blessed be the Lord, Who daily loads us with benefits, The God of our salvation! Selah"


You really have to get consistent with what’s right for you in making changes because failure occurs in the same way.  All your little daily failures, those that you don’t learn or grow from, come together and cause you to fail.  

It's just like running a business:
- If you keep failing to check your books. 
-If you keep failing to make your calls.
-If you keep failing to listen to your customers.
-If you keep failing to innovate and make necessary changes. 
-If you keep failing to do the little things that need to be done.
One day you will wake up to the fact that your business has failed.  It was all the little things you did or didn’t do in a daily routine, not just one inexplicable, catastrophic event.
Think about how this relates to your life because your life is your “business." People often overestimate the significance of one big defining moment and underestimate the value of making good decisions on a daily basis.  Don’t be one of them!  Remind yourself that the vast majority of the results in your life, positive and negative alike, are the result of many small decisions made over time. Your daily routine will literally make or break you!
Psalm 61:8 NKJV "So I will sing praise to Your name forever, That I may daily perform my vows."

You need to remember that nothing will change your course in life unless you have a daily routine developed that will reinforce what you hope to achieve.  This strategy of consistency is well-tested. If you’re not willing to make it a daily routine then you don’t really want to achieve that “important” goal.  You only like the idea of being successful or an expert, but you don’t actually want to do it, every day. However, if you do want it as much as you say you do, it’s time to build the right daily routine for yourself.  It’s time to get consistent.  It’s time to start today!

Proverbs 8:34 NKJV "Blessed is the man who listens to me, Watching daily at my gates, Waiting at the posts of my doors."
