How will you be changing your focus in the coming year and over your horizon? Will you make a concerted effort to change some aspect of your life?
Many people declare some kind of resolution after the New Year begins January 1, so others will see them in a different light. What is yours?
What if you continued your life with more courage and a tenacity in following a faith that has lasted thousands of years?
People who together work towards living and demonstrating the life that exhibits what being a follower of Christianity truly means.
Some will make a resolution to lose weight and stop eating beef. Others will say they will stop something else, that they know and realize is so harmful in their life.
"What if you just did a 180 degree turn and instead of being so focused on “Stopping” the bad habit in your life, you became devoted to “Starting” a new behavior."
A new discipline. Starting to “DO” something that you know will be good for you.
In 2022 how might you start a new course, a new habit or a new process to improve your mindset and your outlook on life?
You can start this without declaring it out loud to your family, friends and neighbors.
How about reading or listening about it with your headphones on, for a 15-30 minute time, on a regular basis. On the Metro, on the plane or by yourself early in the morning, or with trusted others in the evening together.
There will be some significant outcomes from your focus and your new discipline. You just might be in wonder at what they are, as they begin to reveal themselves to you.
The first part of this is to declare that you will set aside your time on a regular basis. Will it be certain days of the week at a certain time frame of the day, in your daily schedule of life? The second part is to repeat and never give up.
Recently, a trusted woman who was working on a mutual project years ago with us came back into our life view. She had just written a book about her faith and her new discipline. It was now on Amazon and we exchanged a few quick e-mails.
The book arrived soon thereafter and I started reading it. As each page was turned, it is clear to me that Jennifer is truly someone that we shall learn from. How to be a real “DOER." How to have even more discipline in our prayer, as we go to work and care for our loved ones each day of our lives.
Beyond being a single mother and a professional in her entrepreneurial career, she has made enlightened decisions and started actions in her life over four years ago. This has taken her on a rewarding new spiritual and experiential journey.
In 2022, how might you start your new discipline? Whatever you may choose, Do it with devotion and be Fearless.
