There's no growth without change, No change without fear or loss, and no loss without pain.

You must let go of old ways in order to experience the New.

The unconscious worry is that if I let go of my habit, my hurt,or my hang-up, who will I be ? This fear can definitely slow your growth.

There's no growth without change, No change without fear or loss, and no loss without pain.

Habits take time to develop:

A husband who is faithful to his wife most of the time is not faithful at all.

There is only one way to develop the habits of Christ like character: you must practice them and that takes time.

Repetition is the mother of character and skill.

These character- building habits are often called "spiritual disciplines".

Believe God is working in your life even when you don't feel it .

Keep a note book or journal the lessons learned.

Review and remember them and pass them onto the next generation.

Reviewing your spiritual journal regularly can spare you a lot of unnecessary pain and heartache.

The Bible says "It's crucial that we keep a firm grip on what we've heard so that we don't drift off".

Be patient with God and with yourself.

You may feel frustrated with the seemingly slow progress you're making in life.

He will use your entire life time to prepare for your role in eternity.

Don't get discouraged:

"These things I plan won't happen right away.slowly, steadily, surely,the time approaches when the vision will be fulfilled. If it seems slow do not despair,for these things will surely come to pass. Just be patient! They will not be overdue a single day".
