I have never participated in Lent in my entire life. I didnt even know it was lent until a few days after it started. After reading up on it I embraced the concept and decided to give it a try. Tonight I almost said F-This and went right back into my self-indulgent ways. But I understand that self-denial is what creates more ability for increase. (I know that made absolutely no sense to somebody out there...smh) This is no different than fasting basically. Its a test of the will. When you deny yourself you strengthen your will. When you strengthen your will, you strengthen your self-confidence, when youre more confident, you attempt to achieve more. When you confidently attempt to achieve you achieve because your confidence makes you believe its possible. So in my opinion you should take more time out of the year than just Lent to deny yourself of some things and work on strengthening your will power. You might even drop a bad habit or two in the process.
