A little boy was in the post office with his dad and he saw pictures on the wall of wanted criminals. Curiously he asked his dad, “Who are the people in these pictures?”

His Father replied, “They are people who are wanted for committing crimes.”

“So they’re bad people?” the boy inquired.

Dad said, “Yes they’re very bad people.”

Matter-of-factly the little boy then said, “The police should’ve kept ‘em when they took their pictures.”

Momentum is like a criminal. It’s easier to keep it when you’ve got it.

Everyone works hard to create momentum in their career, family, and finances. Yet momentum often seems to stall. Every time this happens it’s much harder to get things going again.

So how do we keep momentum going?

• Love Jesus more than you love results.
• Love Jesus more than programs.
• Love people unconditionally.
• Read God’s word even when you don’t feel like it.
• Confess your sins immediately to God and to others.
• Have REAL accountability.
• Know your place (your best is like dirty rags to God). You have no excuse or reason to be arrogant.
• Never think you deserve more or better than you have.
• Be thankful for everything…always.
• Keep doing what has worked well, but do it better.
• Keep suffering in perspective (you are fellowshipping with Jesus in his suffering).
• Learn.
• Read.
• Listen.
• Pay Attention.
• Forgive.
• Trust God, your family, and your team.
• Fast.
• Weep.
• Pray.

Alway’s remember momentum is easer to keep than to build, so keep it while you’ve got it!
