It's such a powerful, powerful start to the year.

And when we talk about habit, we actually are shifting a gear from our desires and our

good intentions.

To have good intentions and to have desires is fantastic.

It's the beginning of the beginnings of seeing change come to our lives.

And if you don't have a desire and if you don't have a good intention, you're not going

to really get anywhere.

But if you don't move past your desire and you're a good intention, then you're not going

to get anywhere either.

And habit is where our good intentions and our desires begin to break down into practical

realities for our lives.

We've said it almost every week.

We'll probably say it through the life of this series together.

First we make our habits and then our habits make us.

And so you and I will not be the product of the goals that we set, that will not be the

outcome of our lives.

You will not be the product of the four or five key areas that you've written down and

hope will shift in change in your life this year.

You and I will be the product of the actual spiritual and normal habits that we put in

place in our lives, the things that we do consistently, the things that we do regularly, the things

that become second nature to us and a part of the fabric of our day.

These habits will in turn determine the outcome of our lives.
