How to Build Self-Discipline That Lasts Let me tell you the truth most people won’t say: you can have the biggest dreams, the best goals, and the most inspiring vision boards… but without discipline, none of it will come to life. Discipline is the bridge between what you say you want and what you actually
Have you ever wondered what separates successful people from the rest of the crowd? I used to think it was money. Then I thought maybe it was talent. But the more I observed, the more I learned that it’s not about being the smartest or even having the best opportunities. It’s about habits. Yes—those small
Let’s be real for a moment—motivation is amazing, but it’s also unreliable. There are days when you wake up excited, full of energy, and ready to take on the world.And then there are days when you just want to stay in bed, scroll through your phone, or disappear from all responsibilities. I’ve had both days.
Have you ever had something important to do… But instead of doing it, you picked up your phone, scrolled for an hour, and then told yourself you’d “do it tomorrow”? I’ve been there too. Procrastination is one of the biggest enemies of progress. It delays your goals, kills your momentum, and steals your time. But
The New Testament is filled with stories of transformative leadership—men and women who led with love, courage, and purpose. These leaders didn’t just proclaim the gospel—they lived it. Their examples continue to influence Christian leadership and discipleship today.
The Old Testament is rich with stories of powerful leaders who played pivotal roles in the formation of Israel and the development of God’s plan for humanity. From patriarchs to prophets, kings to queens, these individuals displayed leadership qualities that still inspire us today.
Waiting on God is not a passive act. It’s a powerful spiritual discipline that requires intentional effort. It doesn’t mean you simply sit and do nothing—it means you deny your flesh the things it desires and feed your spirit with things that align with God.
Prayer is communication between man and God. It’s reminding God of His promises and aligning yourself with His will. The Bible tells us to “pray without ceasing,” which means you ought to pray about everything—big or small.
God wants to be involved in every area of your life. He loves you and desires to help you. But when you don’t invite Him in, you limit what He can do for you.
Being merciful means having a forgiving heart. It also means doing what you can to prevent evil from happening to others.
When someone offends you, being merciful means you’re willing to forgive. Even when people don’t deserve your help, mercy compels you to show kindness and support anyway.
Mercy also involves caring for others—thinking about their needs and considering them when making decisions.
Proverbs 24:16-18 New King James Version (NKJV)
For a righteous man may fall seven times And rise again, But the wicked shall fall by calamity.
Life is full of challenges. We will all face challenges regardless of our location, age, or status.
Challenges can arise at any point in our lives, often coming unannounced.
The best thing you can do is to prepare yourself for life’s challenges before they arrive.
The greatest people in life are those who face challenges and overcome them.
If you want to become great in life, you must be willing to face challenges and overcome them. People who avoid challenges or depend on others to help them always have limitations in life.
Psalm 108:12
“Give us help from trouble, for the help of man is useless.”
When I was in high school, I had a fight with one of my classmates. Before the fight, I had planned with a friend to support me because I was sure he could defeat my opponent.
With that confidence, I went ahead with the fight, expecting my friend to step in at the right moment. However, to my surprise, he disappeared and never showed up to assist me.
After the fight—where I was thoroughly beaten—I found my friend and asked why he didn’t come to help. His response shocked me. He said he deliberately didn’t show up because I believed I could fight, and he wanted me to see that I couldn’t.
