How Long to Reach Your Sweet Spot?

 Perhaps you considered an earlier story I wrote about living in your sweet spot, the place where you are metabolically healthy, financially independent, and worshipping weekly.  You want to get there but you're not sure how to make it happen or how long it will take.  Congratulations!  That's the first step, desire to have a sweet spot life.  What you need is a strategy.  

In my opinion, the easiest step involves weekly worship.  You simply decide, I'm going to find a house of worship and clear my calendar every Saturday or Sunday for the rest of my life.  You're in.  A word of caution;  the Enemy will do everything to stop you from this.  There will be impediments.  Keep in mind that this request comes directly from God in the form of the 10 commandments.  God told Moses to tell us, "Keep Holy the Sabbath."  In my opinion, the best way to do this is weekly worship in God's house.  You can achieve this within one week.

The next milestone is metabolic health.  You have two food choices, God-made and man-made.  Many new man-made foods have been introduced in the last hundred years.  Take a good look around and decide if man-made is working.  Almost 9 times out of ten, you will notice something our ancestors never had to deal with – oversized bellies, a sign of poor metabolic health.  Try God-made foods for 45 days and see what your doctor says about your health.

Depending on how deep you are in debt, this milestone may take the longest.  Don't fret.  Two out of three is pretty good.  If you're going to live long and live healthy, you may as well enjoy the reduced stress that comes from being debt free.  My wife and I chose to mostly follow Dave Ramsey using the baby step program.  We were in deep debt when we started.  Our process took ten years.  The key is to be consistent.

This story is the Reader's Digest version of "Live Long and Prosper."  I will be sharing more strategies when this book is released.  While it may be true that finding your sweet spot isn't easy, it's definitely worth it.  Go for it.  Find your worship tribe.  Discover healthy eating.  Change the way you look at money.  Have a great day.
