"You can usually accomplish more by giving something your full effort for a few years rather than giving it a lukewarm effort for fifty years.
Pick a priority for this season of your life and do it to the best of your ability."

"The bad days are more important than the good days.
If you write or exercise or meditate or cook when you don't feel like it, then you maintain the habit.
And if you maintain the habit, then all you need is time."

The path to sincerity is the path to becoming real. Where you learn to identify yourself by the only thing you ever truly were; God’s creation. To learn yourself, study your Creator. To truly love yourself, you must learn to love and value your Creator.
You rob the world of your gift when you don’t take the time to discover who you are and why you’re here. Invest in self discovery. Your life is bigger than you.
Scripture says it. “For He Himself is our peace, who made both groups into one and broke down the barrier of the dividing wall,”
Ephesians 2:14 NASB — So that bumper sticker was true...know Jesus. Know peace. No Jesus. No peace. #WorldPeace#ONEPeace#JESUS
Everyone is at odds with their true selves and taking it out on other people or not contributing to the healing. It appears neutral but it’s not. If you’re not for peace you’re against it and It’s peace for all or no peace AT ALL. Only ONE peace like there’s ONE truth. Jesus.
Unless and until you make peace with God YOU are part of the problem. Because you’re not on the same team. You don’t have the agenda or the blueprint for reconciliation!!! World peace is the sum total of our individual peace.
Humans like to be impressive. It makes us feel good thus we are motivated by pleasure. God cannot be impressed. Therefore obeying Him has no benefit to us thus we are not properly motivated. It is duty not delight. The solution? Learn to derive our pleasure from pleasing God.
“Joyful are people of integrity, who follow the instructions of the Lord. Joyful are those who obey his laws and search for him with all their hearts.”
Psalms 119:1-2 NLT
