*DAILY NUGGETS* _*"If it's pulling you back, then take drastic action against it"*_ We all have habits that hinder us from fully maximizing our potential; patterns that pull us back from doing what’s necessary, that stagnate our progress, and make us unfit for the future we desire. These habits, if left unchecked, will continue to keep us grounded. Anything that prevents you from fulfilling your destiny is an enemy that must be dealt with. Jesus put it this way: “If your right hand causes you to sin, cut it off…” (Matthew 5:30). This was not literal but a powerful expression of the kind of decisive action sometimes required to achieve a greater good. What sacrifices are you willing to make to see your goals fulfilled? Can you reduce your social media time to focus on your goals? Can you forfeit that movie to create time for personal growth? Can you quit late-night snacking to achieve a healthier lifestyle? Don't excuse a bad habit with the phrase, "That’s just how I am." If it’s an action, it can be changed. Be ready to take drastic decisions and deny yourself momentary pleasure to achieve lasting impact. Comfort will always compete with destiny, choose destiny. *Action Point:* Identify the habits holding you back. Write down their opposites, and begin practicing those instead. Track your progress and celebrate small wins. Change begins with decisive action. *Take the Drastic Step* *Daily Nuggets* *Discovery Annex*
