MV Bookshelf - September 2022: "Win the Day" by Mark Batterson
September is here, and with that comes the next book in our reading list.
I'm
really looking forward to reading this book as I am the self-proclaimed
King of Procasti-"nation". My wife would testify my claim as well. I
tend to set high goals, start off with immense energy... and then fall
short of hitting those goals. If I do accomplish the goal it usually
happens LONG after the "planned" completion date.
This
book has many great reviews, so I hope it lives up to the hype... and I
hope I can actually apply its teachings to my personal life.
And on that note... ready, set, go!
Too many people delay, downsize, or shrug off their dreams just
because they don’t know where to start, but playing it safe doesn’t
account for the massive cost of a life not fully lived. Win the Day is the jump-start you need to go after your goals, one day at a time. You’ll discover how to:
1. Flip the Script: If you want to change your life, start by changing your story.
2. Kiss the Wave: The obstacle is not the enemy; the obstacle is the way.
3. Eat the Frog: If you want God to do the super, you’ve got to do the natural.
4. Fly the Kite: How you do anything is how you’ll do everything.
5. Cut the Rope: Playing it safe is risky.
6. Wind the Clock: Time is measured in minutes; life is measured in moments.
7. Seed the Clouds: Sow today what you want to see tomorrow.
As
Batterson unpacks each of these daily habits, you’ll see how simple it
is to pursue them with focus and dedication—not someday down the road,
but now. Transform your perspective of a single day and you’ll discover
the potential waiting to be grasped at the beginning of each new
sunrise.
