Staying Focused

Have you ever wondered why it is so hard to stay focused? Or maybe you've pondered the thought of why it's so hard to develop good habits.

You know how you feel when you prepare the night before and everything runs smoothly? We love that feeling don't we? But if that's not the norm for us, why does it only last for so long?

I've heard that it takes 30 days to create a habit. Have you ever thought about whether or not it took 30 days to learn a bad habit? Sometimes I think it took less than that, but I never paid attention to how many times I didn't prepare the night before. Or when I left those dishes until later. Or procrastinated on getting something done earlier than the deadline required.

I don't know where and when my bad habits were formed, but I do know that I am ready for a change. I am ready to stay focused and get it done without delay. God has a blessing for me, but its up to me not to delay the blessing. I have to stay focused on God and on His will for my life.

Be encouraged and always stay focused on God. At least do it for 30 days so that you can form a good habit!

Much love,
Fon James
