I have some things to share with you. I can guarantee we'll make a difference. There are some things

that just work. We forget about them. We forget to do them. But when we put our attention on

simple steps, the results come immediately. In today's central

point, I guarantee, before this day is over, you can be restarting things and refining

things by one simple step. So we'll get into that today, but I first want to give some credit

on where this idea originated. I was scrolling through social media like we sometimes do, and I first want to give some credit on where this idea originated. I was scrolling

through social media like we sometimes do, and I came across to sermon, a sermon on a Sunday night

that was being preached by a young man in Beaumont at the Dallin Road Church. His name is Larry Greenlee.

I think maybe Larry and I have met once or twice before, but he married into the Whitfield family,

whom I know well and love very much, and he's doing great. That church always does a great job

of cultivating young men and helping them build and present lessons, and then the congregation

supports them, and he was giving that lesson. And his title, I could see at the top of the feed,

was breaking the Cycle.

And as we'll briefly talk about today, they're all different types of cycles, but they represent the same thing.

We sometimes just fall back into places where we used to be, places where we don't want to be.

And I wish I had a better idea of how that happens.
