CREATING LASTING CHANGE

Lasting Change

Let's learn principles from a childhood story:

The 3 Little Pigs

1. The first pig was lazy and built his house out of straw.

2. The second was playful and built quickly with sticks.

3. The third was smart and built a brick house (listening to the advice of his mother).

The Wolf was lurking in the woods and went after the 3 pigs, first the lazy one, then the playful one, they both escaped and ran to the smart pig. And the wolf came but could not destroy the brick house.

Principle 1: We are all going to face troubles/challenges/hardships/storms in life, marriage, relationships, careers, etc.

How can we endure the hardships life throws at us?

How can we grow and learn instead of breaking down, getting distressed, or dismayed?

Answer: Build a life focused on Longevity: of

• Health

• Passion

• Purpose

• Impact

• Intimacy

Principle 2: Time Tests Everything

Time tests what you have built - your walk with God, the strength of your relationships, your health, everything!

If what you build is to be tested - how would you build?

Tests are good - because what can't be tested cannot be trusted.

For example, how many of us have faced conflicts in our relationships? Do you remember your first fight? And how that impacted the relationship after?

Like in any relationship we learn a sense of closeness after the first fight, (depending on how you handle it of course!). But if/when you get past the challenge, there is a depth revealed in the relationship, there is a new sense of trust, closeness, and understanding built about each other.

Therefore, Tests = Gifts on the path towards what we want.

Principle 3: Your Inner Reality Creates, Shapes, & Defines your Outer Reality.

Who you are, who you see yourself as determines what you build.

How do you handle struggles and changes?

How can you make your challenges work in your favour, what can you learn and how can you grow from it? This is all determined by your inner world.

So, first we have to start building ourselves on the inside before we can change, build, and flourish on the outside (the secret to lasting change).

This requires:

Step 1: Knowing yourself

Step 2: Liking yourself

Step 3: Being yourself

Step 4: Keep Growing

The biggest block for the future you want is within you not around you

Because what is on the inside: Shapes, Creates, & Defines your outside.

You cannot consistently live in a way (maintain/sustain desired changes) that is inconsistent with how you see yourself on the inside.

If the biggest block/barrier for the future you desire is within you, the unraveling starts by getting to know yourself.

This is a journey of moving from who you are to who you want to become.
