As Long As You START

This is for me a wife and mother. I am so encouraged. I started walking and exercising. It's more than a month now and I really feel good physically. I trust God to help not to stop doing something for ME.
Read the below and I trust you will be encouraged.
  
Have you ever experienced the pull of inertia? It's that feeling of not having the desire or energy to move toward a goal. Maybe you planned to go for a brisk morning walk, but couldn't pull yourself from the warm comfort of your bed—or you'd like to talk to your boss about new opportunities at work, but keep making excuses that delay the conversation.

At some point inertia affects almost everyone, but it doesn't have to keep you from pursuing your dreams. The power to combat inertia is in your hands!

In his first law of motion, Isaac Newton reminds us, "An object that is at rest will stay at rest

unless an external force acts upon it."

Today's Empowerment Moment provides four keys to help you start moving in the direction of your goals:

1. Make sure you're sufficiently motivated. Life transformation requires more than wishful thinking, it requires a tireless dedication to your task. When you serve a mission that is greater than you are, excitement will pull you forward with an irresistible energy.2. Don't wait for conditions to be perfect. If you're waiting for the "perfect" moment, you may never get started. I like how author Tim Ferris approaches a challenge: "Conditions are never perfect," he says. "'Someday' is a disease that will take your dreams to the grave with you. If it's important to you and you want to do it 'eventually,' just do it and correct the course along the way."3. Start small. How do you eat an elephant? One bite at a time! Don't worry about what will happen in a month or in a year. Simply focus on the next 24 hours and do what you can to get closer to where you want to be.4. Move forward in faith. Leave room for God to work! Have the courage to act, even if you don't have all the answers or resources right now. If you want to see His hand, look to God to do what only He can do.
Which of these four principles is most challenging for you? How will you begin taking small, intentional steps toward your dream?

Praying God will reward your courage in exciting ways,
 
"Start now. Start where you are. Start with fear. Start with pain. Start with doubt. Start with hands shaking. Start with voice trembling...but start. Start and don't stop. Start where you are, with what you have...just start."
