Reflection
When I was battling addiction, I knew in my heart of hearts that I was an addict, but I didn’t want anyone else to know, so I was bound and determined I was going to kick the “habit” on my own.
Addiction isn’t a bad habit.
It is a disease.
I believe you all know me well enough that I have tremendous willpower. However, willpower conquers bad habits but has no chance of beating addiction disorder.
Thirty-five years ago, at this time, my “willpower” had led me to think the only way out of my situation was to take my own life.
Then I made a change.
After a very intense family intervention, I made a decision that forever changed my life and many others.
I sought help for my addiction disorder.
What changes do you know you need to make but can’t seem to take the first step into a new world?
If willpower isn’t working, maybe you need a coach or a counselor.
Whatever the case…life is short, and you are running out of life.
Straddling the fence and not changing what you know you need to change guarantees you three things:
1. You will not change.
2. You will miss out on the adventures of a new journey.
3. Your crotch will hurt!
Get off the fence today and make that change you are thinking about making.
Luke 1:37, “For nothing will be impossible with God.” (ESV)

AFFIRM YOUR P.E.A.C.E.
Purpose with a Plan – No matter how big or small, we all have a purpose. Your purpose lies at the intersection of your passions and your gifts. Find your PURPOSE and create a daily PLAN to help you fulfill it to the best of your ability.
Effort – Turning your dream/goal into reality requires a commitment to putting forth consistent and focused EFFORT toward executing your plan. Nothing great in life happens without working hard.
Attitude – The chances of achieving your dream increase exponentially if you believe you will achieve it. Remember that your ATTITUDE determines your altitude in all areas of your life.
Community – Nothing great in life happens by doing it alone. The chances of achieving your dream expand as your COMMUNITY of positive mentors and coaches expand. You become the average of the five people you spend the most time with–and yes, spending time with “people” through books and instructional videos factors into your “average.”
Energy – Living a purposeful life requires optimal mental, physical, and spiritual ENERGY. Commit daily to a routine of nurturing your mental, physical, and spiritual self to provide the energy needed to live your best life on purpose.
