Every morning I wake up so impatient to be at the finish line of my goals. I tend to start projects with loads of enthusiasm but when they start to take too long or get monotonous I am done. I am working so hard not to be like that this time.
There are things I want to accomplish. Personal, physical, emotional goals that I want to reach. I don't want to quit. When things aren't going as quickly as I think they should I start to doubt and give up. Then I stop and look in the mirror. I tell myself I am changing. I look for the subtle changes that I can see and I look inside for the ones that may not be visible but that I know are happening.
I tell myself that things didn't get out of hand in a day so logically they will not be better in a day. Real change, the kind that lasts, takes time and effort. I want these changes to be lasting. I don't want to improve things just to fall back into old habits and then have to start over again in a few years.
I will accomplish what I want. I will be the person I want to be, inside and out. I am not going to quit this time. No matter what goes on around me, I will stay true to my mission. This time, the world could literally quit spinning and I will stay on course. I am tired of giving up because it's easier. I am tired of taking the easy way out because it is non-confrontational or uncomfortable. I think it's about time I am challenged. Who better to challenge me than myself?
