And the Lord answered me, and said, Write the vision, and make it plain upon tables, that he may run that readeth it – Habakkuk 2:2
“Okay, ladies, before we meet next week,” the fitness coach announced, “I’m assigning homework. I want you all to look in your closets and find something that you can’t fit into and bring it with you. Or if nothing’s available, use my fee for next week to purchase something too small to wear now. It’s not to make you feel discouraged or disappointed about the way you presently look, but as an additional incentive as you prepare to wear.”
Losing weight isn’t easy, making it essential to come up with creative ideas to stay motivated. However, the same applies to any goal, especially if challenging, and when feeling ill-equipped. This is why keeping a visual aid nearby helps maintain focus, similar to the message in Habakkuk 2:2 that inspires pursuing what’s believed to be attainable.
Are you currently pursuing an endeavor that feels overwhelming? I encourage you to be creative in developing a visual motivator. Possibly write a personal affirmation and incorporate an encouraging Scripture. Then envision yourself accomplishing it. Doing so will prepare you to wear, metaphorically speaking, the outfit you are working towards.
