Pastor Mark Batterson is no stranger to dispensing life advice<\/a>; after all, Win the Day<\/em> is his 20th<\/sup> published book. The best-selling author of the blockbusters Chase the Lion<\/em>\u00a0and The Circle Maker,<\/em> which have sold millions of copies, believes writing is one of the best ways for him to communicate. \u201cI want to help people tap their God-given potential<\/a>\u201d he says.\u00a0\u201cYour potential is God\u2019s gift to you,\u00a0what you do with it is your gift back to God.\u201d<\/p>\n

Batterson, the founder and lead pastor of National Community Church, which has several campuses throughout the Washington D.C. region, says that his newest book seems to be resonating with a wide swath of the population.\u00a0 \u201cMaybe it\u2019s the times that we are living through,\u201d he says, adding that the book seems to be particularly popular in athletic circles.<\/p>\n

But it\u2019s likely Batterson\u2019s lively and no-nonsense\u2014dare we say fun\u2014approach to turning your life around that is inspiring so many people. Chock full of examples from the Bible, his own life and scores of others, Batterson builds the case for living day by day. \u201cI try to help people see old things in new ways. I turn the kaleidoscope so they can see things from a different angle\u2014see God differently and see their life differently.\u201d<\/p>\n

Here\u2019s his advice on how to win the day\u2014which in turn, will help you conquer your God-sized goals.<\/p>\n

1. Flip the Script.<\/strong> Batterson points out if you want to change your life<\/a> you often need to change the story that you tell both yourself and others. \u201cYou have to convince yourself that winning is possible,\u201d writes Batterson. And he should know. In graduate school Batterson took an aptitude test that indicated writing was not <\/em>a natural aptitude. 20 books later Batterson is happy he told himself a different tale.<\/p>\n

2. Kiss the Wave.<\/strong> The main point here? Accept your past and embrace the obstacles<\/a> you face. \u201cYou\u2019ve got to come to terms with the pain that has made you who you are,\u201d writes Batterson \u201cKissing the wave is simply acknowledging: \u2018It is what it is.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n

3. Eat the Frog.<\/strong> What to-do list items are you most tempted to procrastinate on? Get them out of the way (eat the frog!) and do them first thing in the morning<\/a>. How you start the day sets the tone for the rest of it.<\/p>\n

4. Fly the Kite.<\/strong> How you do anything is how you\u2019ll do everything. So go ahead and dream big, but start small. Little by little bad habits are broken. It builds confidence and creates momentum so that you can go after those God-sized goals.<\/p>\n

5. Cut the Rope.<\/strong> Playing it safe is actually risky. You\u2019re only one decision away from an entirely new life but you\u2019ve got to step out in faith and take chances. You must imagine the unborn tomorrows and then establish new habits<\/a>\u2014one day at a time.<\/p>\n

6. Wind the Clock. <\/strong>Keep Going\u2014God hasn\u2019t given up on you, so don\u2019t give up on him. Keep winding that clock with faith, hope and love.<\/p>\n

7. Seed the Clouds. <\/strong>Take proactive measures today that will produce desired outcomes tomorrow. For Batterson, that means starting each and every day with his daily Bible reading plan<\/a>. Don\u2019t worry about next week, next month or next year. Seed the clouds and God will make it rain.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
