"Growth always comes from taking action and taking action almost always brings criticism. Move forward anyway.
Sooooo, what area do I need to grow in? Ha, where in the world do I start? Finances, check. Fitness,
check. Impatience, check. Reading my bible more, check (can we ever read too much?). Keeping my house clean, check (there's no excuse with the boys gone). Being more organized, check (papers are all over my house and why can I keep my work papers organized, but not my personal papers?). So what do I do with being hit in so many areas? I tackle each thing one day at a time, otherwise I will start to get overwhelmed and finish none of them. Like yesterday on the track for instance. I jogged 3 miles. There were other people out there who seemed to be in better and worse shape than me, but I was not concerned about them. I was focused on what I had to do. It took forever to finish, but I finished. So yesterday I tackled one of my growth areas. And it doesn't matter if I wasn't able to get everything done in every growth area. I'm taking one day at a time and I will finish in the long run. It doesn't matter if people are already waiting and celebrating at the finish line or if other people come in after me. We can all finish.
To reach your potential, you must do not only what others believe you cannot do, but what even you believe you cannot do." ~John Maxwell~
