Last year, there was a leaky faucet outside the hydrant. It was dripping and I kept saying I'll fix that next week. Then, the weather went crazy cold and I still have not fixed it and I guess you know how that turned out.
I thought about how that equates to our personal lives. We keep having that mentality "I'll take care of it later." What decisions are you making today that are going to affect you adversely 30, 60, 90 days from now? I want to encourage you today, take an inventory.

Do you want to know how much is enough?
Let me tell you, you should be asking an entirely different question!
It has nothing to do with sacrifice.

You have to get out of your comfort zone when you’re dealing with anybody. Those people are no more special or different than you. And let me give you a little tip, those people want you to approach them. Who would they be without you? They would be nothing without your fanfare. They would be nothing without you buying their products. Those people would be absolutely nothing. And I want to encourage you to get outside of your comfort zone. Go up and meet those people!

There'a a lot of areas of our life that we procrastinate about. And we always say that's how I am. But we have to stop.
Procrastination is a bad thing. It's affecting you and the people around you. It's rude. It's selfish. Saw a sign before: "Your procrastination does not dictate an emergency for me." Quit saying I am a procrastinator! Don't claim and own that.
Stop procrastinating! Get out there today and say "I am going to own it! I am not doing it anymore because I am tired of disrupting other people's lives and I am tired of disrupting my life. So, today forward, I will procrastinate no more!"

I am excited with what February can bring!
During my quiet time this morning, I remember my post two years ago about "The Empty Chair" and it made me sad. In my den, there are two recliners, one for me and one for Robin. This is where we hang out and do life together. But one day, one of those recliners will be empty, one of us will be gone. I know that's pretty sad. The truth is, we're going to have horrific regrets or unbelievable memories, one or the other. It doesn't just apply to marriage but to every facet of life, every person we encounter.
One of our mastermind guys is dealing with bitterness. He can't let it go. Believe me I know exactly what it is. A guy did me very wrong that I wanted to shoot him. I hated that guy. I didn't want anything to do with him. But six months ago, I went to him and I hugged him. And I told him 'I love you and I am sorry." I had to let it go because I was the only one being held captive, I was the only one being harmed. I was cheating my family because I was disallowing Robin to live the kind of life because I got bitterness harbored in me.
Guys, some of you, today, you need to hug somebody and tell them you love them and you're sorry. If you can't do that, confess it to somebody else and let it go. It squelches everything in you. We only got one life. We don't get a do over. Get rid of that stuff. You say, they don't deserve it! Well, it's called grace. It's things that people don't deserve but are given to them.
Listen, when you quit demanding justice you will know you have forgiven somebody. When you get bitterness out of your life, you will have a joy that I can't even begin to tell you what could transpire. It will change your life.
Today, let it go! Share this message to your family as some of them needs to hear it.
