eat the cookie… buy the shoes by Joyce Meyer

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!-and Joyce wants to tell us why…

Though 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 when diverging from your own goals is seen as catastrophic, it can have a hugely 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 and in fact, embrace it: eat the cookie and buy the shoes!

  1. I try to limit myself on chocolate. I don’t do a very good job of it though!

  2. The guilty pleasure I am trying to limit myself to is buying more books. It is really hard. My problem is there are just too many in the house and my DH is starting to get a little testy about it. They really have gotten out of hand. The biggest problem (other than not enough time to read) is there are so many goo new books coming out, how can I resist?

  3. Great prize! I love Joyce Meyer. I start my day with her tv program every weekday. She really gets your mind set in the right direction for a new day.
    For me, my weakness is buying books. My TBR pile is more like TBR bookcases. What can I say, I love books!

  4. I love to snack on chips and so I try not to buy them or I’ll be munching on them!

  5. I try to limit myself on buying books…but I get too impatient to wait for a book with an interesting review for a library copy. Overrun with books…and I’ve passed along this errant gene to my 30-year old son! Oh my!
