Refocus

Tired of where you’ve been? Not sure where you’re headed? Here are four practical tips to help you refocus your life so that in 2007 you can move in the direction you want.

1. Assume responsibility for your life. No one can make you a victim and no one will make you a victor. It’s your choice. Why not make a good one? Don’t blame others. Don’t make excuses for yourself. After all, failure is just a synonym for education.

2. Believe you can change. Quit saying, “I can’t”; start saying “I can.” Better yet, say, “I will.” That will lead to “I am”, and be followed by “I did.” You always do what you truly believe.

3. Clarify what’s important. Determine your values and value what you determine. You don’t deserve second-best, hand-me-downs, or leftovers. God gave his best so you could have his best. Don’t insult him by settling for less.

4. Do it now. You can’t change yesterday, but you can change tomorrow—today. Forget your past failures; God did.

Give God what you have, and like the loaves and fishes used to feed 5000, that will be enough—in God’s hands. He will bless whatever you give him.
