How often do I say I will do
something and never get back to it? My
energy shifts and suddenly I’m running down a different road with a long trail
of unfinished projects and plans carelessly discarded behind me. What prevents me from completing what I set
out to do? Sometimes, I become afraid due to anticipated failure or rejection. Other
times I have unrealistic expectations and become exhausted by too many
commitments. I give in when things get
too hard or I encounter too many obstacles.
I allow others’ plans to become more important than my own and forget to
set boundaries. Will I end up at the end
of my life regretful of all the risks I never took and things I never finished? I hope not.
I can only make one choice at a
time and take one step at a time. Today,
I choose to evaluate where my energy will be best spent. I will carefully examine my intention when I
decided what to lay aside and what to pursue.
I will recognize when fear, laziness, or mindless activity prevent me
from following through on what I believe in and value. I am determined to persevere and complete what I start.
