Don't forget, your body comes from God!
Are you interested in digging a little further, to get deeper into your heart's desire here, your focus? If you are, ask yourself, "the pleasure of God, devotion and prayer, and the happiness that comes from God, all of that, for what purpose? What will that give me?"
What I'm suggesting you would get from that question is your core value -- the laser-focus -- that will give you tremendous power and strength in getting where you want to go. Whatever that core value is, I'm quite confident that God wants it for you, too. Does that interest you?
