Discipline Over Regret
15 I don’t really understand myself, for I want to do what is right, but I don’t do it. Instead, I do what I hate…18 I want to do what is right, but I can’t. 19 I want to do what is good, but I don’t. I don’t want to do what is wrong, but I do it anyway… 24 Oh, what a miserable person I am! Who will free me from this life that is dominated by sin and death? 25 Thank God! The answer is in Jesus Christ our Lord.
Romans 7:15, 18b-19, 24-25 NLT

Do now—what helps me achieve what I want most.

Look at what you wrote down first question - what you want most.

Refuse to be shortsighted—Refuse to be plagued by regrets!
Running to win eternal prize!
