What a look in the mirror. This is the most accountable piece of writing that I've ever read. I realized this year that writing things down trying to be so organized doesn't do anything for me. I tried to write things down and check them off for many years and it never works. Speaking for myself I found out what does work. Just doing it. Taking action.
We consistently work towards things that we're passionate about no matter how many times we hear we have to do what's uncomfortable. Being comfortable is like a season. It's a time to be comfortable but when the leaves change color it's time to move to the next season. If you don't move ..you will be moved. The other day I was having such a joyful day walking in the rain and before I went to work my supervisor ( that should not be in that position) reminded me how helpless I feel my job being my main source of income.
It seems like when the enemy knows this he uses meat puppets to test me. It was a reminder that my job can be very comfortable...but that is NOT my home. I have to look at that place as a battleground and war. My home is my place of rest, peace and restoration. I use to sleep at work and always used to get my myself in bad situations because of it. Now I prioritize sleeping at home so I can be alert at work.
When I get sick being subordinates to petty and unqualified people that I'm smarter than guess what? I will not only keep building my dream in downtime at work but I will fully maximize my time at home. Take a break from social media and watching TV and get to it. Working on my business, eating, exercising and sleeping should be all I'm doing when I'm not at my job. That's what it will take. When I'm ready for that commitment that's when I'll put myself in the position of my dreams. Self sufficiency. Waking up and creating art all day. My hunger is changing. My productivity is changing. The look in my eyes is changing. I'm changing.
Teri, I couldn't have written this if you didn't set the bar with this article. This is a roadmap to accountability. Once this mindset is put in place that is when when can stop being stagnant and out of park. Then we can drive forward into a life we always wanted. Thank you for writing this.
