There is an orderly sequence of events in the shaping of our lives.

As I think, I make choices. As I make choices, I form habits.

As I form habits, I fix the direction of my life.

So, if I am to live differently, I must form new habits.

If I am to form new habits, I must make new choices.

If I am to make new choices, I must do new thinking.

[Brad J. Waggoner, The Shape of Faith to Come (Nashville: B&H, 2008), p. 78]
