need <\/em>something from God?<\/p>\nIt never ceases to amaze me how many of us (yes, us!) procrastinate. It\u2019s not something we\u2019re often particularly proud of. But we work best under pressure, don\u2019t we? Or is it that in that moment of last-minute pressure our motivation has kicked up? The importance of the project hasn\u2019t changed. Our level of motivation (or need) to get it done has.<\/p>\n
So here\u2019s what I\u2019m offering. Think about the change that you want to experience in your life. It could be anything in any area of your life. Why is it so important that you make that change happen? Maybe you should write it out. And as you\u2019re writing, allow me to sit across the table from you in your imagination arguing that it really doesn\u2019t matter. Then argue back with me why it really does.<\/p>\n
See, we often argue ourselves out of making decisions we know we should do. And we do this because we haven\u2019t truly accounted for what\u2019s at stake. When you see the long term results or possibilities suddenly you\u2019ll find that you\u2019ve discovered the secret ingredient to starting that change in your life.<\/p>\n
