Here we are at the beginning of another work week and another Quote of the Day. I hate doing things at half measure. It isn’t my nature to only part way do something. I want to do it, and do it to the best of my abilities, and to do it as good or better than anyone else. I am a perfectionist by nature and I enjoy exceeding even my own lofty expectations especially when it comes to results and my own actions. When I think about something I want to do and be better at it is so easy for me to get caught up in the end results. It can seem scary to see how far I have to go to get from where I am now and what I am currently capable of to where I want to be and what that looks like to me. What I have to consistently remind myself of is that the battle isn’t won or finished on some far off day The battle is fought every day. It begins every morning when I open my eyes. Every day presents me with another choice to push ahead, to wait or to turn back. Each morning I have the opportunity to make a choice: I can do my best to build and work towards the things and goals I want or I can run from those expectations and spend another day wishing I were closer to where I want to be. I’ve spent so many days wishing for things to be different. It feels good to try things a different way. I know what hiding has felt like. Now is my time to know what action feels like. The road is rarely easy, simple, straight or quick. Thankfully I am blessed with the opportunity to attack it fresh every morning. Take your opportunity today to make sure that today’s habits are worth repeating. Have a blessed day, y’all! Stay safe, stay warm, and enjoy another beautiful day.
