As we leave this chapter, choose a habit you want to form and begin putting these principles into practice. Be patient with yourself. It takes time to create habits, and you may not succeed every day. If you realize you have failed, don't waste time being discouraged; just pick up where you left off and begin again. Be kind to yourself, because beating yourself up for every mistake is another bad habit that needs to be broken.

Even if you have to do it afraid, make the most of every opportunity God puts in front of you.

You can either be pitiful, or you can be powerful, but you can't be both.

Inaction breeds doubt and fear. Action breeds confidence and courage. If you want to conquer fear, do not sit home and think about it. Go out and get busy. Dale Carnegie

Ordinary people can do extraordinary things if they apply the proper guidelines to their lives.

Lack of knowledge causes fear, and knowledge removes it.

Take a minute to stop and look closely at the reasons you are doing the things you currently do. If any of them are being done out of fear, then eliminate them. You will be amazed at how much time you may have if you have a Spirit-led schedule rather than a people-driven one.

The greatest hindrance to spiritual maturity is walking according to our emotions instead of purposely choosing to do the right thing.

being afraid does not change the experiences the enemy uses to make us afraid. Fear will never make circumstances better, but it will rob us of our strength to deal with them and of our ability to think clearly in the midst of them.

We can say that we trust God all day long, but if we fear the unknown, then in reality, we don't trust God.
