be smart enough to change before the pain…

now the sixth step.  if you’re serious about defeating a persistent pattern in your life that has defeated you for years and years you have to take this next step.  pick an accountability partner.

the reason why most people never break free from their habits is they’re unwilling to do this.  pick an accountability partner. 

now you need to see the importance of having support if you’re going to break free from your past.  there are some problems in your life you have to team tackle.  they are so big you can’t get well on your own.  you can’t break free on your own.  it’s true with temptations just like it is with past hurts.  you need somebody else in your life.  you’re not going to get well on your own. 

you’ve been trying to break these patterns for a long time.  it isn’t going to happen.  in fact if you’re unwilling to have an accountability partner, stop kidding yourself, you really don’t want to change. 

what happens is we want to change but the fear of change stays there and keeps us from doing it.  and only until the pain exceeds the fear do we change.  we don’t change when we see the light, we change when we feel the heat. 

but i would say to you, don’t get yourself into so much pain that it forces you to change.  be smart enough to change before the pain becomes that intense.  how do you do it?  by getting an accountability partner.

just a thought from the front porch…
