What is the pace of your life? Fast, slow, controlled? Sometimes, life gets busy and runs fast. But it should only sometimes be at high speed. Our minds dictate the pace of our lives. If our minds are racing, our lives will do so. Running hard and fast makes a man weary (our mind) and tired (our body). Pacing our lives will extend our time on the earth. But how do we pace our lives and live at maximum impact? We are all in the race. We are on the same track, yet we each run a different race. We need help to do it. Join the rest of us in building disciplines into our lives, moving forward, and growing strong together. Get some discipline!
