The 365 Commitment

Day 39 – Don’t make it complicated!

Remember the 365 commitment is basic. It is hard enough to do something everyday of your life. Be careful not to add to the commitment and make it more complicated. By all means – add things to your list – perhaps things you will do most everyday. However, keep the basic 365 commitment the same. Something you will develop into a lifelong habit.

Wake every morning, compile a list of the most important things to accomplish, pray about the list, ask who you can serve then revise the list, prioritize the list and then ACT on the list. Be willing to adjust during the day as you are directed – your efforts will be magnified as you allow God (or whatever you subscribe to) to help you accomplish the list. At the end of each day, review the list, pray, ask questions, commit to do better.

That is it. Simple. Now repeat 365 times in a row.
