CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
Peer Pressure vs. Accountability.  Apply God’s law to what you do; not what the world tells you to do.  Example: watch The Push on Netflix, a reality show about peer pressure and where it can lead.  Example: Dietrich Bonhoeffer during the rise of the Nazi and persecution of the Jews, he did not succumb to peer pressure, rather stayed accountable to God’s law and ultimately died for his actions.  Read the Ten Commandment for a great example of a Law to stay accountable.

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:

Your beliefs become your thoughts,
Your thoughts become your words,
Your words become your actions,
Your actions become your habits,
Your habits become your values,
Your values become your destiny.

-Ghandi

I can sometimes lose sight of what I’m working towards. Throughout the year I have to refocus myself because I’ve strayed from the path I wanted to be on. Whether because of some new shiney thing distracting me off to the side or because I backslid on my habits. I don’t have trouble making fitness and fun thing habits. Where I struggle to find my destiny is in work. Sometimes I just feel like I’m on cruise control and not actively thinking, acting and making habits. I think the hardest place to make habits and form our destiny is in the things that we like to do the least. Take some time this week to think of some place in your life you know you need to be taking care of business but haven’t been able to shape that destiny by making good habits toward that end. Make a gameplan to get it done.

10 HIMS to battle Sad Clown syndrome this morning with no FNGs
CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
I turn 25 tomorrow and I started thinking about how over a quarter of my life is now gone. My first instinct was to think of what I have not done and regrets that I have. We need to learn from the past, but stop focusing on things that we cannot control. We need to focus on what we can do today to make sure that we have no regrets 25 years from now. We need to focus on what we can do to make up for those things. I regret not surfing in Australia when I was there because I was too self conscious. Now, I focus on when I will take my wife to Australia and we will go surfing together. I am focusing on a solution, not on what I did wrong.
