It is a blessing to have this opportunity to share my light bulb
moment with all of you. God has been working in my life and I could not wait to share my moment with the rest of the world. This book is intended to guide you through a 30 day life changing process. After completing each activity/reading with diligence and consistency, everything in your life will change.
In order for this change to begin you must make a personal commitment.
I _______________________________ commit the next 30 days to becoming passionate and prioritized.
I understand this is my responsibility and that I will get out of it exactly what I put into it.
I understand that in order for things in my life to change, I must own all of my mistakes and shortcomings.
I understand that I must repent for every wrong I have ever committed.
I understand that God loves me in spite of . . . . .
I understand that I am not worthy by my own merit, but by the blood of Jesus all is reachable.

I understand that my reputation with God is far more important than my reputation with man.
This is a Commitment Contract.
Proverbs 16:20.
Without the proper foundation, even the largest sky scraper is nothing more than piles of scrap.

In addition, I had to look the part . . . hair, nails, clothes, etc. Psalm 90:12. Recently I realized that everything that I put all of my effort and time into was not as important as I thought. Let me clarify. Work, school, family, and friends are definitely essential to our lives on this earth, but on the Day of Judgment, we will
