Moving forward may come effortlessly and naturally, or it may require constant conscientious effort. It may be pleasant, or it may be a real drag, depending on how much is your expectation of good.

Have you considered how resistance to change, inertia, and fear of the unknown are some of the mental barriers that need to be overcome in order to progress? Putting off the old and putting on the new (see Col. 3:9, 10), may involve leaving behind the familiar and comfortable and often have more to do with our mental landscape than anything else.
