Spiritual Foundations
I have been crucified with Christ. It is no longer I who live, but Christ who lives in me.
Galatians 2:20
What does it mean to have Christ living in you? It's really an astounding concept. I don't really know how to explain it fully, but I know that Apostle Paul meant something by it.
A good place to start might be simply asking the question throughout the day, “If Christ is living in me, what is he doing right now? And am I cooperating?”
Another good step would be to check out this discipleship course by my friend Frank Viola. If you click this link, I receive a small commission. If that makes you uncomfortable, please click this link. It won't change your price, but clicking the second lake means I will not be compensated financially.
- The individual in question does not have an accurate definition of success.
- The individual in question has not clearly defined how they will KNOW if they have achieved their desired outcome.
- Decide what you want. The lifestyle you want your business to provide.
- Determine the necessary steps to achieve what you want.
- Determine the price of doing what is necessary.
- Commit to pay the price.
- Ruthlessly track your progress through data, not through storytelling.
