5 Elements for Lasting Change (The Daniel Plan) 1. Lasting change requires building your life on the truth. We dont like to face the truth about ourselves, our weaknesses, our bad habits, and especially our motivations. But until you face the truth about WHY you do what you do and get to the root of your habits, change is likely to be shallow and short lived. 2. Lasting change requires making wise choices. Everyone WANTS to e healthy, but very few people CHOOSE to be healthy. It takes more than desire or a dream to get healthy... it takes a DECISION. You wont change until you CHOOSE to change. You dont get healthy by accident. Its intentional. Its a choice. Actually, its a lifetime of choices, but it begins with a decision. 3. Lasting change requires new ways of thinking. The way you think determines the way you feel, and the way you feel determines the way you act. If you want to change how you act, you must begin by changing the way you think. Your thoughts are the autopilot of your life. 4. Lasting change requires Gods Spirit in your Life. You needs Gods power, not just willpower, to change. Gods Holy Spirit helps us break free from bad habits, compulsions, and addictions. Since he offers to help, it would be foolish to not take advantage of it. The Bible says that the more I allow Gods Spirit to direct and guide me, the more self-controlled I become! 5. Lasting change requires honest community. If you are serious about making lasting changes in your life, the best and most effective way to do it is with the support of others. The deepest changes in your life will only happen as you open up to a few trusted friends who will support you and check up on you.
