No matter what I do in life, it’s important that I’m constantly moving forward. The object in the game of football, is to constantly advance the ball down the field; until we score a touchdown.
The game of football, serves as a perfect model for our lives as well.
Whether it’s our family, our career, our marriage, or most importantly; our walk with God. If we want to go anywhere in life, we have to step out of our comfort zone and start taking steps to get us where we want to be.
We advance in life, by adopting these simple little disciplines. These disciplines serve as stepping-stones that are designed to take us to our goal.
If we repeat these disciplines over and over, we’re rewarded at the end.
Inch by inch, life’s a cinch! Yard by yard, life’s hard! Mile by mile life’s a trial!
What are your goals? What disciplines can YOU adopt now, to drive you towards them?
I’ve always tried to learn as much as I can about different areas and aspects of the industry that I work in. This day in age, there’s so many resources, right at my fingertips.
I try to take advantage of the these resources and use them for my benefit. One of the best resources available is the internet. Everything pertaining to my industry, is right here; for my benefit.
A life goal of mine, is to be the leader in my industry. I want to be the guy they call when they have questions pertaining to the industry. The last thing I want, is for my client to call the competition.
You’ve heard it said that: “Time is of the essence!” Isn’t that true! There’s only so many hours in each day, so it’s important that we spend our time wisely.
There’s a saying that says “If you wait for all the street lights to turn green, you’ll never go to town!” How true is that? Often times in life, we wait for everything to be perfect, before we move ahead. When we delay in making a decision, we miss the opportunity.
Occasionally in life, we throw a “Hail Mary” pass and reach a goal! But most of the touchdown’s in life are scored by advancing the ball, one play at a time.
In addition to adapting these disciplines, it’s so important to have the right mental attitude. You’ve got to be focus-driven and keep your eyes on what’s ahead; instead of what’s behind you!
Work harder on yourself, than you do on your job.-Jim Rohn
I treat my walk with Christ the same way. I want to learn as much as I can about Christ and the best way to do that is by reading the Bible.
A chapter or two per day is all it takes! Just like in my career, I need to take what I read and apply it to my life. If all I do is read it, without applying it, then it’s just head knowledge.
God’s not looking for religious people; he’s after a relationship with you! Think of him as your best friend. As problems arise, reach out to the one that created you. He knows you better than anyone, because he created you! His word will get you through ANY situation that life throws at you!
I said, ‘Plant the good seeds of righteousness and you will harvest a crop of love. Plow up the hard ground of your hearts, for now is the time to seek the Lord, that he may come and shower righteousness upon you.’-Hosea 10:12
I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, and I have remained faithful. And now the prize awaits me-the crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous Judge, will give me on the day of his return. And the prize is not just for me but for all who eagerly look forward to his appearing. -2 Timothy 4:7-8
Are you looking forward to his appearing?
