Belief is an amazing thing

And that you put on the new man. (Ephesians 4:24a NKJV)

  Our daily life is made up of habits and routine, which can greatly help us to accomplish our life’s goals, provided those habits are good ones. Positive habits are a great asset. Negative habits, however, are like black holes sucking up productive, innovative, and beneficial possibilities in our lives.
 How much do you want the change? Enough that you are willing to change your life to reach your goal? Enough to ditch your negative habits and replace them with positive ones? Enough to sacrifice whatever is working against the particular change and progress that you desire?
 You might desire a change and feel that you are willing to pay the price for that change, but deep down, you might be wondering if you can actually do it.
 Belief is an amazing thing, as the Bible says, “As he thinks in his heart, so is he.” (Proverbs 23:7) Another verse reads, “A healthy spirit conquers adversity.” (proverbs 18:14) What these verses show is that the human will is a very powerful force, especially when accompanied by faith in God’s capacity.
 If you’re having a hard time believing you can change, adopt a positive, full-of-faith attitude, even if you don’t feel it. Start saying positive, change-reinforcing statements such as, “By the grace of God, I can change. I will change.” —Alex Peterson [1]

 People do not decide their futures, they decide their habits and their habits decide their futures. —F. M. Alexander
