Engrained in our culture is the belief that unbending discipline is the only sure way to success. You must go to the gym five times a week, never order the dessert, and don't even think about buying that dress you keep staring at in the store window. Breaking from such a regimented lifestyle is a sign of weakness, right? Wrong! Joyce Meyer tells us why we need to break our routines now and then and even ... indulge.Celebration is a concept that we reserve for very few occasions, but God instructs his people to celebrate and indulge throughout the Bible. This is a concept that Joyce Meyer believes has been overlooked for far too long. In her latest book, she provides ample evidence that God loves a party and wants his children to enjoy good things.Although setting rules in our lives are important, it's just as important that we break them from time-to-time. Structure is a powerful tool, but it can have a negative effect on us. Balance is a core value in life and every once in awhile we deserve to indulge in a guilty pleasure or two. So don't feel bad about straying from your goals every once in awhile. In fact, embrace it: eat the cookie, and buy the shoes! Views: 35
