The Journey of Becoming
In this season, it’s all about becoming. Every day is an opportunity to begin again. I challenge you to make a decision that you will not ever stop becoming the person you were created to be.
Who you are becoming is more important than what you are accumulating. The person you will become in 4 years will be based upon these 4 principles.
1. The people you surround yourself with.
“You are the average of the five people you spend the most time with.” -Jim Rhon
If you’re going to realize your potential, you need to surround yourself with people who will push you to become the very best version of yourself. Avoid drama. Avoid negativity. Always surround yourself with people that will push you to do and be better.
2. The books you read.
“If you don’t like to read, you haven’t found the right book.” - J.K. Rowling
The more you read, the more things you will know. The more you learn, the more places you'll go. Reading allows you to discover what took some a lifetime to learn. If you’re not reading you’re not growing. The books you read have the potential to tremendously change your life for the better. If you have not read my Effective Living book I encourage you to visit my website and order your copy now. You won’t regret it!
3. The habits you’ve created.
“Sow a thought, reap an action; sow an action, reap a habit; sow a habit, reap a character; sow a character, reap a destiny.” - Unknown
Study your habits. Depending on what they are, our habits will either make us or break us. Remember, we become what we repeatedly do. Some people think all they need to do is be motivated. Motivation is not enough. Motivation is what gets you started. Habit is what keeps you going. Successful people are simply those with successful habits.
4. The environment you are in.
Evaluate your environment. Is it positive? Is it encouraging? Is it supportive and helping you transform and grow? If it is not, make some changes. You owe it to yourself.
There are things you can see when you change the environment. Anytime you have the urge to return to a harmful environment, keep in mind the damage it had on your sanity and the duration of time it took to regain your peace of mind. Environment matters on your journey to living life effectively!
Life is all about becoming a better version of yourself. Effective Living is a journey, not a destination. It's not a straight-line process either. Focus on everyday progress instead.
Don’t read this week’s blog simply as an interesting read. Make a commitment to start applying the principles you’re learning.
