Have you seen a tree with a lot of fresh fruits?
Isn't it so tempting to get the fruits from the tree and eat them? This is because we know they came from a good and well nourished tree.
The quality of the fruits on a tree depends on the nutrients provided in the roots- nutrients that came from the soil. The roots will always determine the fruits.
The fruits of a tree are just like our dreams.
The soil that nourishes the tree represents God in our lives.
And guess what represents the roots? - our HABITS.
The quality of our dreams is determined by our habits.
As a matter of fact, it's the little things that we do everyday that will make us a champion.
Oftentimes in our lives, we have dreams to pursue but we always lose track because of many distractions in our environment. But please don''t be discouraged by these obstacles and problems as these are needed so you can be the best that you become in achieving God's dreams for you.
Now, let me share to you 5 daily habits that really transformed my life. It changes how I see God, people and circumstances. It changes how I deal with people. It changes how I deal with problems. It changes me from being a superstar complainer to a happy person.
1. Start your Day with God.
When you wake up in the morning, thank God He gave you another day- another day to pursue your dreams, another day to inspire people, another day to serve others. Talk to Him for few minutes. Talk to Him like a friend - sharing your deepest desires and dreams to Him.
2. Plan for your day.
Write your plans for the day. Imagine the day as your best day ever - a day to be the most loving and kind, a day to celebrate life, a day to be Jesus to others, a day to be the best daughter, best parent, best employee and best person. Don't make your "best day" as an exception. Make it as a habit. Treat each day as your "best day ever."
Do what you have to do now so you will never have to wait again.
3. Live healthy. Do you believe that God wants the best for you? If so, then you would love yourself, and if you love yourself, you will love your body.
Do you want more time to spend with your family? to help other people? to serve the ministry?
If yes, then take care of your health. You need to be healthy in order to serve.
Eat fruits and vegetables.
Exercise 2-3 times a week.
Avoid processed foods.
Prefer organic.
Search more for ways to have a healthy living. God wants us to have the strength so we can fulfill His mission in this world.
4. Feed your mind.
The start of change is new information. Make it a habit a learn something new each day.
Read an inspirational book instead of watching TV shows. A 30 minute reading each day would be very helpful. If you are not a fan of reading books, you may choose audio books. You may listen to these while you're in the bus or taxi, or doing something else.
Improve yourself. Search for wisdom!
5. Associate with people who will lift you up and not with people who will bring you down.
Choose your friends wisely. Make sure your friends are true friends.
Are they always there for you whenever you have problems?
Are they trying to help you cope up with your situation?
Are they inspiring you?
Are they choosing to understand instead of judging you?
Socialize wisely.
It's the little things that we do daily that matters.
How about you? What are your habits?
Are they align to your dreams?
You will easily know - discover your fruits and assess.
Be a better you everyday,
Maya
