Humility
Do not be wise in your own eyes; fear the Lord and shun evil. Proverbs 3:7
A principle attitude
for the Christian life is humility. If we commit to the precepts of His Word, then this most precious attitude of humility
should flow from us. Being humble minimizes arrogance, removes pride, and makes us a person who is pleasing to Christ.
This means we become a person that He can use--fully and powerfully. It is our fallen nature and weaknesses that cause
us to think we are better than we are, which, in turn, causes us to strive to lift ourselves above others and God. Such
an attitude places us in a useless and destructive place before God and others. We need to be teachable people.

Procrastination is the enemy of us all. Truly, half the battle
is just beginning! Pick one thing that you can do, today. Accomplish one task today that will give
you that satisfying feeling of one less thing waiting to be done. You will feel empowered to go on to the
next task.
Unwavering belief is a belief so strong that it stands up against
challenges. Sometimes other people, believing they are being helpful, will try to persuade us to be realistic, meaning
we shouldn't aim too high. Successful people keep their goals high and their expectations inline. Successful
people are practical dreamers, with dreams they figure out how to make come true.
M. Scott Peck said, "The truth is that our finest moments are most likely to occur when we are feeling deeply
uncomfortable, unhappy, or unfulfilled. For it is only in such moments, propelled by our discomfort, that we are likely
to step out of our ruts and start searching for different ways or truer answers."
