There are a few different spins on a daily dozen and how one can use a daily dose of the same dozen routines throughout the day one will become more successful in his or her endeavors.
Some, use a daily dozen for their workouts. Others may use a daily dozen for keeping them on task and organized at work.
I am developing my personal daily dozen that I gleaned from one of John C. Maxwell's book back in November. In fact I think he mentions developing a daily dozen in several of his books. I originally copied these down in my Moleskin with intentions of coming back to them sooner than now. Well, now has arrived. Here are my daily dozens that I will develop into memory and discipline.
- To live in faith by loving mercy, seeking justice, and walking humbly with God. (Micah 6:8)
- To love and sacrifice myself for Jessica because of Christ. (Eph. 5:25)
- To have the right attitude because of being a new creation. (Eph 4:23,24)
- To make decisions now based upon concrete values. (Luke 16:15)
- To initiate and invest in relationships. (John 15:13)
- To know and follow a healthy lifestyle through discipline of eating and working out. (I Tim4:8)
- To have a heart of gratitude and thanksgiving. (Mark 14:42)
- To develop deep and wide thinking. (Heb. 5:13, Phil 4:8)
- To have priorities in the right context. (Luke 6:12)
- To properly manage and make money to provide for family and giving. (Ecc. 5:18-20)
- To make and keep boundaries around commitments. (James 5:12)
- To have personal improvement goals that push me to excel. (Prov. 1:3)
This is not a unique list, but it is my list to hold myself accountable to growth as God's child. The verses may or may not be a direct reflection of each one, but possibly another meaning within one of the daily dozen. In the future I may break each one down into a deeper context. Like #12, the personal improvement goals for myself in this current year is to play the guitar and do a sprint triathlon .
May this encourage you to pursue developing your own daily dozen. Let me know how your list comes together.
What would you add to your daily dozen?
