Why even think about it? We may not be dodging into phone booths (I know, what is that - ha!) and changing into our super outfit to save people from a nearby, evil nemesis, but you are the hero of your life, at least you should be. You also aren't perfect so you can either be ignorant and ignore all your shortcomings or fake and pretend they don't exist, or you can put on your big girl pants and face it.
What's my kryptonite? I'm severely easily distracted. I mean I can be talking to you about one thing and then...squirrel! So my phone is my enemy, because I can get on Facebook to update a group I run or add to an event and before I know it an hour has gone by and I haven't done what I went on to do.
Knowing this about myself means I have to be intentional. To get anything done, I must have lists and limits so that I can stay on track. If I don't, the day will go by and nothing will have been accomplished. If I need a vaca day then that is fine, but if my family wants to eat (aka, oops I forgot to add dinner to the crockpot or even defrost the meat), and I need to keep the internet on (aka, I forgot to pay the bills), I have to get my list done, not to mention the lists I have for my jobs and every other hat I wear (and yes, I know I do way too much, but baby steps is my pace in the better myself arena).
Thankfully, when I focus, I can get a lot done. I'm also great when things fall a part, I have a knack for just rolling with it and finding something that will work when a crisis takes over an event.
The point is I must first:
1. Know my kryptonite
Then I can:
2. Create a plan to combat it
And only then can I:
3. Slay the day :)
Do you have goals for your life or even day? If not, get them because you are just wasting time, and if so are you doing what you need to do to accomplish them?
Excuses are just that. If you want to get er' done, you need a plan and that has be broken down into attainable steps. But the plan will fall a part if you don't recognize your kryptonite and create a plan to overcome it. Just accept that it is there and prepare yourself to knock it down or avoid it with your patterns and plan.
I don't know who is reading this, but I know you are a human being with a purpose. Why not live life to the fullest? That is what my Bible tells me Jesus came to give us - abundant life. So what is stopping you? The answer usually involves yourself and usually your kryptonite.
I'd love to hear from you. Comment, message me, and let me know if this is helping you. I don't need to write just to have my words fill a page. I want it to make a difference. Is there something you would like to hear more about? Tell me. Introduce yourself. I promise - I'm listening! Happy Wednesday. Decide what you want out of life and start your journey today. If you already know, motivate and keep going. God bless, my friends. - Carrie
