Happy Friday, Friends!
I hope and trust this post finds you all having a great day on this glorious Friday morning! Have you ever considered how genuinely blessed we are to have a new opportunity every single day?! That is the posture of my heart this morning…genuinely grateful for another opportunity to live this life fully! 😊
I have started reading Craig Groeschel’s new book, The Power to Change: Mastering the Habits That Matter Most. Earlier this week I read something that struck me as truly profound.
“According to Harvard psychologist Daniel Gilbert, most people recognize they have changed over the past ten years but refuse to believe they can change in the next ten. Gilbert calls this false belief the “end of history illusion.” But the data-driven truth is this: you will change, and you can become who you want to become.”
Interesting, isn’t it? Think of yourself 10 years ago…are you that exact same person? Of course, you aren’t! I am reminded of the quote by Bo Schembechler, the former Head Football Coach at the University of Michigan, when he said, “Every day you either get better or you get worse. You never stay the same.” Whatever type of days we consistently string together determines the quality of the lives we live, the relationships we have, and the people we become.
Please let the truth of Pastor Craig’s last statement sink in: “you will change, and you can become who you want to become.” 10 years from today you and I are going to be different – we simply have to determine what kind of different we will be. If there is an aspect of our lives that we don’t like, we can change it! We can choose to pursue our full potential in all aspects of our lives, or we can choose to live something less. Either way, we will change.
So, the question for all of us is this; who do we want to be 10 years from now? What type of men and women, husbands and wives, dads and moms, leaders, and friends do we want to be? We are going to change, for good or bad, and we have the power to become who we want to become. We simply have to choose to align our thoughts, actions, and words with who and what we want to become and live them out on a consistent basis. Easy to understand, hard to do…so worth it! YOU are worth it! 😊
