"How do you start something new?"

Click here to listen to Dr. Joey tell his story!

I wanted to make sure that our daughter started driving in a safe place. I didn’t want to just hand her the keys and say, "Honey, let’s head for the expressway."

Instead, I drove to a local school that has a large parking lot. It was after hours so there were no other cars in the lot. That’s where I started her out driving, going around and around the big parking lot, turning from one lot into another; changing her patterns so she didn’t get bored.

When you start a new project, start with the end in mind. My goal was to get our daughter driving on the expressway, but that’s not where we started. So with your goal firmly fixed in your mind, start in a way and at a place where you succeed in beginning to move toward your goal. A safe place where you can get a "Win" under your belt.

You see, success breeds success. So start out moving toward your goal with small steps and watch them grow as you move closer to realizing your goal.

Ask God to guide you as you successfully make a life, not just a living today.
