Mission accomplished.

When my alarm goes off, it’s time to walk. No matter what I do, I make a choice. Do I choose to make progress or to watch the pitch pass me by? When I’m sitting down with coffee, it’s time to pray. No matter what I do, I make a choice. Do I choose to intimately connect with who I am or waste 15 minutes of my day on YouTube? Again and again throughout my day, I’m offered these choices.

I know that when I put in work, when I take action, I gain the result. When I walk every day and eat well, I feel better. When I pray throughout the day, I have more stamina and virtue. So why is it so easy for me to walk away from these good things?

Michael Hyatt calls it the “resistance.” A psychological force that opposes our good and bold actions. It’s the internal dialogue that tries to keep us totally sedate in life. Fear, self doubt, and uncertainty cause the resistance to paralyze us. Paradoxically, while trying to keep us “safe,” the resistance is really holding us back from greatness.

We don’t have to live every day perfectly. But when it’s time to put in the good work and your psychology resists, step up and overcome.

Let freedom ring.

Happy Birthday, America!

A moment of peace.

Act on this word. If all you do is listen to it, you are deceiving yourselves. There is, on the other hand, the man who peers into freedom’s ideal law and abides by it. He is no forgetful listener, but one who carries out the law in practice. Blest will this man be in whatever he does.

Thomas Massie Unveils Small, Ugly Budget Bill With A Great Personality - Babylon Bee

Sure, the President’s bill is getting all the attention from all the guys in Congress, but sometimes it’s better to look deeper than just what’s on the outside.

The Lord’s voice flashes flames of fire. The Lord’s voice shaking the wilderness, the Lord shakes the wilderness of Kadesh; the Lord’s voice rending the oak tree and stripping the forest bare.

- Psalm 29
