Welcome to the conclusion of my book in Dore, which you can find at GetEndore.com.

And each week, I'm leaving you a little snippet from the book right here on this podcast feed.

So, let's start here.

Conclusion.

Congratulations.

You've come a long way.

Throughout the pages of this book, you've passed many, many mile markers on your training course for spiritual stamina.

You've discovered common temptations, obstacles, pitfalls, and struggles you and I both face, and you've learned how to deal with them.

You're now familiar with the concept of temperance, the mastery of passions, and desires, and how to strike a balance between savoring God's creation and self-discipline.

You've familiarized yourself with how to enhance your purpose and productivity while working deep, creating meaningful beauty, and simultaneously experiencing rest and refreshment.

You've learned how to love others and love God more fully while creatively weaving the golden rule into your own life, using a mindful and people connected approach that will change your personal interactions for life.

You know, aware of what exactly happens at the end of your existence and how to find more meaning in both life and death.

You've grown to embrace laughter, simplicity, joy, relationships, and the magical feeling of being most glorified in God, but being most satisfied in Him.

Ultimately, you've discovered and learned how to implement a wide variety of potent tools, tactics, and habits for enhancing your spiritual stamina and endurance.

So, what's next?

How can you not be that person who finishes a book like this, nods their head and agreement, feels inspired to experience a life saturated with persistence, perseverance, and patience?

Then gets completely derailed as all the distractions, busyness, and old routines and habits seem to set right back in once the book has found its final resting place and a dusty spot in your bookshelf?

Well, perhaps it would be helpful to briefly review a few key habits that you can implement now so that doesn't happen to you.

So, I'll give you a simple seven count list of my own personal tips to make this all doable.

Without you feeling as though you need to drop everything now to go read the entire Bible, sign up for five different volunteer organizations in your community, go on a 10-day silent meditation retreat, and sell all that you own to live a life of puritanical sanctimonious stoicism.

So, here we go. First, for the next week, commit to reading the Bible every day. Any habit like this that you want to stick needs a very low barrier to enter.

So, just keep it by your bedside and do it first thing before you even get out of bed.
