Rome Wasn't Built In A Day

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?
