Hey everyone, it's so great to have you with us today on Pastor Rick's Daily Hope.

We are going to continue our very encouraging series today called Life's Healing Choices.

And in these lessons, Rick Warren will guide us through a deep biblical exploration of how to overcome the hurts, hang-ups, and habits that really hold us back.

So get ready for some practical insights and powerful truths that can lead to lasting change and freedom in your life.

And now, let's join Rick for part two of a message called The Growth Choice.

Number three, third thing I have to do to keep on growing is focus on my goal, not my habit.

Focus on my goal, not my habit.

When I say habit, I'm talking about those habits, hurts, hang-ups, those sins,

those weaknesses, the failures, the things in your life you don't like. What I'm saying is,

if you want to grow, you have to focus on what you want, not what you don't want. Why is this so important?

Because God designed the universe with one of the laws of the universe

is the law of attention.

And the law of attention states

that whatever you focus on,

whatever gets your attention, attracts you.

It pulls you.

There is a natural pulling when you focus on something.

Have you ever stood on a cliff or on a tall building, and you looked over, and all of a sudden

you felt like you were being pulled over?

You ever felt like that?

That's the law of attraction.

That's the law of attention. That's the law of attention.
