February 2015 Overview

Theme: God

Secondary Theme: Persist - Persevering with Faith until the End

Principles: 
If I want to achieve the outcome I want, then I will choose to persist without exception.

If persist without exception, then I focus on results.

If I am stronger than most people, then I won't quit when exhaustion sets in.

If I want to be better than average, then I will compare myself to my potential and not to other people.

If I want to achieve the results I desire, then I understand that I won't necessarily enjoy the process but I will continue on and keep my eyes on the outcome.

If I have faith in God, then I will believe in the future that I do not see.

If I hold on to that faith, then I will receive the reward of one day seeing the future that I believed in.
