This Sunday talk is dedicated to the memory of Prayer Warrior Julie C. Bull.
Whatever we desire already exists in the world. Others have gone before us and
blazed the trail. So we don't have to reinvent the proverbial wheel---we just
have to follow in the path already laid out for us. We only need focus on the
trail and push through whatever self-defeating stories come up for us.
It's important to figure out where we stand in relationship to what it is we
long to experience. We can make a map of where we are now and where we want to
be. A good map allows us to adapt to the obstacles and to keep on moving.
Change is a slow accumulation of details. It's like waking up one morning and
finally feeling different because we've taken back control of a small piece of
our lives. Our change will be an accumulation of a whole series of decisions.
The Seven-Day Stamina Workout is this: Face the day, write in a journal,
exercise for 20 minutes, break routine, make eye contact, go public, and
connect.
