You In Ten

Overflow with Craig Booker

“What if you had met Elon Musk in 1995 when he left Stanford University to start his first software company?” [1]

“What if you’d met Simone Biles when she was fourteen years old and competing in her first classic gymnastics event in her hometown of Houston, Texas?” [1]

Would you have been able to spot something different in either of these examples ten-plus years ago?

“What if I told you I could predict what your life will be like in ten years?“ [1]

What if I could tell whether you’ll be:1

• Better off financially
• Closer to God
• Healthier
• More together than ever
• Happier
• In a circle of good friends

“The life you are living right now is shaping the life you will live tomorrow.” -Craig Groeschel

How?

“Because your habits today are telegraphing your future. The life you are living right now is shaping the life you will live tomorrow.” [1]

“We all have the best intentions, but intentions don’t determine direction. Actions do.” [1]

“We all have hopes. But hoping for a different future doesn’t lead to a different future. Hope doesn’t change your life. Habits do.” [1]

“So if you keep doing what you’ve been doing, you’ll keep getting what You’ve been getting. The life you’re living today is shaping the life you’ll live tomorrow.” [1]

“The life you want can be the life you’re living in ten years. But you will not get there because of your intentions, your hopes, or a few ‘lucky breaks.'” [1]

Two Essential Components

Let’s focus on two essential components you’ll need to become the you that you want to be. [1]

Small

“The first component is ‘small.’ Remember: the small things no one sees can lead to the big results everyone wants. The issue with small things is that they are easy to do but also easy not to do. They never seem significant. Ignoring or skipping them always feels acceptable. But you sculpt your life with the small stuff.” [1]

Consistent

“The second component is ‘consistent.’ Doing the small thing once is insignificant. Doing the right small things over and over has magnitude you cannot measure.” [1]

“…getting the life you want will be the result of countless seemingly small decisions, done consistently over time.” [1]

The Story of Nehemiah

Nehemiah was the cupbearer for Artaxerxes, the King of Persia. [1]

The Babylonians invaded Jerusalem during Daniel’s time, seventy years before Nehemiah. [1]
