Total for week": 101
This book gives a lot of ways to help you start doing hard things, but in this chapter it gives excuses that people think of as to why they fail when attempting big things. The first one was procrastination, which I'm sure every teenager can relate to because this is what many kids in school live by. It's so much easier to committ to something when you're talking about doing it in the future instead of right now. The second thing is inconsistency, which is another thing that many people can relate to. It's so hard to keep perfect consistancy if it's something that we don't particularly want to do. I see this alot with teenage Christians who are trying to be the best they can be. They start reading their Bible and praying for a few days then they forget for a while then when something reminds them of it then they do it again in spirts. The third one is compromise, which is one of the hardest things to do in life. Compromise involves someone to lose their plans and incorporate the plans of others in their own. Begrudging is another thing that keeps us from doing hard things for God. We may agree to do something that we don't neccessarily want to, but we don't do it with a good attitude, to let people know that we did this even though we didn't want to. The last thing that keeps us from doing small things is cheating. Cheating is a huge problem in the teenage world involving school and being a Christian. People may say that they did something good, when they didn't really do all the work to get to that point. These are things that we need to overcome in order to accomplish anything in life.
