You will become what you are becoming right now.
You, at this very moment, are in the greatest battle you will ever wage in all your life. You are fighting for what, one day, you will become.
There are forces, seen and unseen, clashing for influence in your heart, soul, mind, and strength. These forces can typically go unrecognized by you. You might or might not feel the stress of the war being waged. You likely won’t understand the battle until you are able to look back on the whole thing, years from now…and see what you’ve become.
You can influence this war’s result. You can influence what you will become. You are becoming it right now, whether you feel like it or not. The people who have become something remarkable…the people who have become something extraordinary…they are not better than you, smarter than you, and most definitely not luckier than you. No, they just chose to notice the battle being waged. They made a choice to influence the outcome of what they become. They made a decision to influence the minute by minute battle waging on them, right now.
They accepted the fact that they will become what they are becoming right now. They chose to deliberately steward what the end result would be.
What do you want to become? 
Until you can answer the question above…you will be at the mercy of the consequences of the war being waged on you right now.
It’s kind of like a summer boat party that happens everyday in your town’s closest lake. If you’ve got several friends, then the odds of you being pushed out of the boat and into the lake everyday are highly likely. If you know you are going to get pushed into the lake everyday, then you can predetermine how you are going to respond to that spontaneous splash everyday. When you predetermine how you are going to respond, then you will control your response when it actually happens. 
Everyday, you get pushed. You get pushed in areas of life way more important than boat parties and lakes.
If you don’t predetermine how you are going to respond when you get pushed, then you will be at the mercy of emotion and other external forces that want to determine how you will respond.
This is the same as your end result as a person. What do you want to become? Predetermine it and don’t let any other forces determine your end result.
This is easier said than done.
If you want to be a person who determines your own end result…then you can only be successful at becoming that end result when you have clearly defined the end result you desire to become. (Maybe read that again…)
What do you want to become? Write it down. Clearly define it. Then make minute by minute decisions that help you become it starting right now.
Maybe that is what God had in mind when He had Jesus say, “Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength and with all your mind, and love your neighbor as you love yourself.”
You will become what you are becoming right now.
