Thank you, Rick Warren, for clobbering my shins with this inspired message! (Be sure to click on the link to read Pastor Warren’s full message.)

1. Stop making excuses.

2. Start today.

3. Establish a planned routine.

4. Face your fears.

5. Focus on what you gain, not the pain.

– Don’t ask, “What do I feel like doing?”  Instead ask, “What does God want me to do?”
