Today’s segment makes aware of the idea that one cannot separate the personhood from their daily habits. We have many habits that have been carried into adulthood, not realizing they are linked to the beliefs about oneself. Whether they are good or bad habits, they are fully displayed. This chapter challenges us to decide who we desire to become. If we really desire to see some habits changed, we have to dig deep for those underlying beliefs about ourselves. We generally have a plan to change behaviors first. Subsequently, deep issues of the identity gets neglected, hence revolving back to bad habits. We discover that habit formation comes from deciding who you want to become. We then honor our identity by maintaining those habits associated with that identity.

In a world that values grand finales or finally reaching the big goal, it is so easy to forget the tiny steps it takes to get to those magnificent places. We live in a world that is bent towards the idea of greatness and dismisses the tiny moves and endurance that it takes to get there. That greatness, achievement or magnificent place can be equivalent to a person being 37 times better in one year. James Clear, attributes this idea from being 1% better everyday, which results in being 37 times better after one year. What kind of tiny system can you put in place to get you there? Today we talk about Clear’s profound idea in this first chapter.

Will you believe the problem isn’t you? That your bad habits are directly linked to your systems….Hmmm!

High places are not a new phenomenon. You can read all about it in the book of 2 Kings. It is recorded that many kings enthroned chose not to tear down high places., though it is recorded that there was one that broke the mold. Nonetheless, we are not any different at times. We tend to still have some high places erected in our lives. 2 Corinthians 10:5 explicitly speaks of them, “We demolish arguments and every pretension that sets itself up against the knowledge of God, and we take captive every thought to make it obedient to Christ.”  They may come in a variety of ways such as achievements, successes, people, fractured and ruminating thoughts, statuses, desires and so much more. All of which, are taking the place of God in our lives. I encourage you to venture with me about this sobering reality that many face today and the dangers of “high places” remaining in our lives.
