Episode notes

The people we surround ourselves with have a significant impact on our habits. We may need to distance ourselves from individuals who reinforce negative habits in order to change. We can still love them but redefine the relationship. Our friends shape our reading habits, diet, vacation choices, spending patterns, and mindset about money. If we want to be successful and change our habits, we may have to distance ourselves from certain people for a period of time and find new individuals to be around. While we cannot blame others for every bad habit we have, we should strive to be around people we want to emulate. Avoiding individuals with a victim mindset or cynicism can lead to positive changes in our lives.

Most people think that humans fall into one of two categories: you’re either self-disciplined or you’re lazy. But that’s not how humans operate. Even if you’re extremely disciplined in one area of your life, another area of your life might be a mess. For example, you might be incredibly self-disciplined when it comes to working out, but you have terrible habits when it comes to managing your money. How can you grow in self-discipline in the areas that don’t come naturally to you?

In today’s episode, Donald Miller talks with Craig Groeschel, pastor of Life.Church and New-York Times best-selling author. Craig shares secrets about self-discipline from his newest book: "The Power to Change: Mastering the Habits That Matter Most". You’ll learn how to change the way you think about self-discipline and discover the secret to forming habits that actually stick. Tune in now and learn how you can experience lasting change and sustain new habits for the long haul!
