There are levels in life, and we should always be moving to the next level. In doing so we are continually growing and developing. We are increasing in knowledge and experience while getting to know ourselves better. Now you may be saying “come on surely you know yourself!” Don’t you? Well every day we have experiences and those experiences cause us to respond. Most of our responses are reactive out of habit or routine. Character? How do I really see myself? How do I really feel about myself about my life? I would suggest you ask those questions of yourself too. What emotions rule your life? What thoughts are going through your mind through out the day?
Questions, questions, questions! True but they are questions that may just help you discover some surprising things about how you truly see yourself.
So what does any of this have to do with the post title? While going along on a roll as I have started this month to try to over come some all to tiring habits I was doing great then surprise the old habits and patterns snuck back in. But! I rejoice in the new level of self-awareness I’ve achieved. My slogan is no more” when things get tough I will whine” but “when things get tough I’ll get tougher!” I am digging in my heals and I am overcoming all those old habits that keep me in bondage and fearful, feeling I am never going to have victory of fulfillment. Because I am going to have a life of victory and fulfillment. Why? Because I want it and God wants it for me too. So I chose to hold on. If God is for me nothing else matters I will take Him at His word. AMEN!
