Self-Discipline in 10 Days










Friday, August 5, 2011

Push yourself to make this second an EXCELLENT second!!

It is difficult to put together an excellent life. 
It is even difficult to put together an excellent year.

God gives us occasions to reawaken our awareness of him.

Ramadan is one such occasion. 
God wants us to make this month an excellent month, according to this verse:
The Cow 183 - O you who believe, fasting is prescribed for you, like it was prescribed for those before you, so that you may attain Taqwa (awareness of God).
Pushing yourself for one month is also very hard. 

Can you push yourself today?
Can you push yourself to make this hour an excellent hour?
How about this minute?
How about this second?

What tools do you have to push yourself?

Victoria Moran argues that one of the best tools you have is within yourself.
Pose questions to yourself to gain clarity on almost any situation.
Is this good for me?
What does my body have to say about this?
What are my values?
What am I not seeing?
What really matters here?
What would make me genuinely happy?
Who has some guidance for me right now?
