Hard Work Pays Off!
HARD WORK PAYS OFF
It's true that we live in a world of instant gratification. If you want something, you can order it and have it shipped to your house within a couple days. We have access to any information at any moment through the internet. However, with God things take time. I believe when we work hard for something we tend to keep it. God knows what it will take for us to achieve true life change while sustaining the change moving forward. Working hard helps us remember the pain it took to achieve a goal, dream, or desire. When we work hard and achieve a goal, we do not want to repeat that same work again. This forms a belief inside of us that says, “hard work pays off.” The word on the street is it takes around 66 days to form a habit, so if you want to change, you can. It takes having an intentional growth plan, which I will talk about in an upcoming chapter.
I want to give you three steps that can help you change your life.
Matthew 21:22 says whatever things you ask in prayer, believing, you receive!
Ask. (It should be Big. Bold. & Audacious).
1 Corinthians 2:9 "But as it is written: Eye has not seen, nor ear heard, Nor have entered into the heart of man the things which God has prepared for those who love Him."
2. Believe (See it). What you believe should pull you out of bed in the morning. Your life plan should wake you up early. I heard someone once say "responsibility should wake you up everymorning.”
3. Receive (Feel it). Let yourself feel what it's like receiving the answer to your request. Let it travel from a thought to the emotional realm which drives your actions!
