Well, I am back again. Today for the first time in over a month I worked out. Today is also the first time that I have posted anything in a while. I fell off but I didn't give up. I made my usual run around the neighborhood broke a sweat, took a shower and now here I am. While I was running I had a lot on my mind because a lot has happened since I last posted to this blog. I had a few projects to come up that needed some attention which took up a lot of my time. Then I had to take care of home, which for anyone who is married, knows that this takes up more than enough time. During my run I started thinking about all of the people who start off doing something and never finish what they start and then move on to something else. I then asked myself is that me? Am I a starter that never finishes? Am I that person that loves to move to the next project before finishing the first?
As I took a deep breath and started into deep thought, I noticed that I had all the signs of being "that person." Just about everything that I start I never finish. I have started on three different novels and I have never finished one. There are many projects that I have right now that I haven't finished and I started on them months ago. I have become the person that I despise. But how do I break this vicious cycle? How can I become a finisher instead of a starter? I guess expressing myself as I am doing now is the first step. The next step should be to write out all of my projects and set a date to finish them. Then work on each project each day until it's done. But what happens when I get side tracked? Take a break and do nothing until I get my focus back and then go at hard.
Life is easy; we just make it harder than what it's supposed to be. I read in the Bible once that God gave us life to have abundantly (or something like that). In other words, he gave us life to enjoy. His intentions were not for us to have a hectic life. He already knew that we were going to have challenges, so that's why he gave us a guide (the Bible) so that we would be prepared for it. The majority of the problems that we have are caused by use, not him. We try to veer away from what we should be doing and do our own thing and end up in messed up situations. Whether it be financial, spiritual, or emotional we do it to ourselves. Some problems are out of our control and those are the challenges that I spoke of earlier. Those are the things that God knew we were going to face. The other stuff, he figured we would do but gave us a choice whether to take the hard road or travel the road he paved for us. This is the reason that he is so merciful and forgiving.
I said all of that to say, it's never too late to start and when you start something, make it your business to finish. Don't let situations get in your way because situations are always going to be there. It's time to take your life back and live it the way you want and the way God designed for you to...get back to living life and stop letting life live you!
