Today I was listening to a message from TBN Europe by John Hagee, one of America's most distinguished pastors and it got me thinking...
Why do we say we hate something that we do yet we keep on doing it? It's like letting yourself down, betraying yourself over and over again. If you say you want to stop doing something, you better mean it and THEN stop doing it for crying out loud!
How do you get rid of a bad habit? You replace it with a good one, immediately. The only way you will stop doing that thing that holds you back and stops you from making progress is by doing another thing that builds you up and propels you one step further to achieve your goals.
How do you do it? First, you need to recognize that bad thing that you so desperately want to get rid of and call it by its name (like holding the bull by its horns) and then replace in with the name of what you would rather be doing. Pray about it and believe that the bad habit has been replaced by the good one. Therefore, start doing the good thing and soon it will become your new habit, candidly replacing the bad one. Okay, easier said than done. But if you don't start trying, who will loose?
Come on! Shed that pride off yourself and take up humility. You will soon start seeing the difference in your life.
Stay blessed.
