Align Habits with Giftings
Now that you have worked your way through the mini series episodes (starting on episode 103) you know how to identify your good and bad habits. You even know the steps on how to do this! There is a point in the mini series we mention that each action you do is a vote for the type of person that you are becoming. This all ties back into who you are and who you want to become.
As believers, on this side of heaven we are in the sanctification process. This means that our goal in what we strive for is becoming more Christlike every day, in all our actions. What do your goals and habits say about you and how you’re reflecting Jesus? Do a quick habit audit to see if your actions are helping you either become more like Christ, or not. Hint: There is no in between.
Christians, God equips you with unique passions and giftings that will further the kingdom. Harness those and leverage it to glorify God. Not sure what gifts God has given you?

Set Up For Success

When it comes to goal setting, it’s wise to make sure that it’s challenging and attainable through hard work. There will be days that you find yourself unmotivated, so what type of person will you be when that moment happens? Will you be the type to give up or to press on through the tough stuff? You have the power to choose.
Want to know the difference between people who reach their goals and those who don’t? Grit is the difference. The ones who face adversity and stick with it are the ones who are more likely to reach their goals. Remember, you will face challenges, but what are you going to do about it?
