The Revitalization of my Life--Day 10



Today there was no workout. I know, I have been trying to get back into a routine, but it does take some time. I am not giving up though. This is one of the key ingredients to revitalizing your life, never give up when your routine is altered; you have to alter yourself to fit your new routine.

As I ponder about this, I came up with a plan that involves revitalizing my life completely. I decided to take a vow to dedicate all of my time to my wife and my writing. I realized yesterday that she needs more attention than I am giving her. I was told by many people who are married that your spouse comes first. This will be the first sacrifice that I make within my marriage. I don't think it will be the last but at least I am taking the initiative to make a difference for the better and not for the worse in the beginning.

It's not about who does what sometimes but more so about whether or not it gets done. If we stop looking for things to be done by the other person and just start doing things on our own without looking for anything in return, I think that we (couples, married people) will begin to see a difference in our relationship. It's not about yourself when you are involved with another person...it's not about them...it's about the both of you. Take the time to take that extra step and make something happen within your relationship and don't look for anything in return except self gratification.
