Dying to write this

When you’re a dying man and you know it, you can write like this…

Deep breath.

Exhale.

Because i don’t do certain things doesn’t mean i don’t want to…

Just because i’m always positive doesn’t mean i’m not tempted to be negative.

Just because i exercise regularly doesn’t mean i wouldn’t rather relax at home.

Just because i rarely eat sugar doesn’t mean i don’t want to eat chocolate all day, every day.

Just because i go to bed early and awake early doesn’t mean i don’t want to stay up late or sleep in.

Just because i consistently go to Church doesn’t mean i’d rather use Sunday mornings for something else.

Just because i do not get angry doesn’t mean i don’t want to get angry.

Just because i work so hard to be amazing in my profession doesn’t mean i’d rather spend less time studying, networking, writing, and chasing impossible goals.

Just because i’m decently organized, doesn’t mean there aren’t many days where it is so hard to make decisions on what to keep, what to donate, and what to recycle.

Just because i love technology doesn’t mean i love all the time it takes to keep up with it.

Years ago, i purchased the domain name Excuse Whisperer .com

Wishing everyone, especially you, the best today.

It’s hard until it’s not

It’s hard until it’s not.

Every habit you have now was once hard.

For crying out loud, remember walking? That took two years. Now you do it all day, everyday and never give it a second thought.

Raising your standards and efforts for all five of life’s big choices is challenging until you eventually get the hang of it, like walking, and it then becomes a second-nature habit.

Auto-pilot.

Pro tip: Do the reps.

Three consecutive misses

Can you imagine waking up in this location and getting your work done from that laptop? Work-Church. No place like it.

You missed Church three consecutive Sundays.

You, and Cheryl, know what you need to do.

Single player

Life essentially is a single player game.

You are 100% responsible for all your decisions.

Even, and especially, the one ones leading to failure, embarrassment, conflict, pain.

Conversely, the opposite is true.

Congrats on all your successes, too.

Leading yourself is your first leadership imperative.

All day.

Every day.

More prayer

More prayer?

Absolutely.

Less ignorance, less bliss…

Prayer is awesome for discerning what to take a stand for and what to surrender to.
