In church last weekend the talk was on commitment. About how in our culture, there's not much of it anymore. Maybe that's true. Sometimes when we commit to something, we really do need to follow through to the end. Sometimes we don't think the end will take as long to come as it does, or sometimes we think it'll be easier to get there than it is. I want to be committed. I want to be committed to the things that I enjoy & I prioritize & are BEST for my family. I want to be a giving person, but not too giving to the point of detriment to myself.
One of the things that was talked about regarding commitment was that we usually have a "back up plan" when we have a big idea that we're not sure if it's going to work out or not. And almost every time we have a back up plan, we end up using it, because the urgency of the big plan working out is gone or at least smaller. I think that maybe we might spend too much energy worrying about IF it doesn't work out, when we could spend that energy on MAKING it work.
These are the thoughts I have swimming in my head today. If these are the things that I most want, I need to make them happen. I need to stop worrying about the other things, and focus on these. Save my money for these, spend my time working on these, learn more about how to DO more for these. Action is important. It does no good to KNOW something but not DO anything about it.
Are there any priorities you have lost focus on? Any commitments you need to re-commit to? Any back-up plans you should consider chucking out the window?
