Today has started off quite interesting. If you have been keeping up you will know that I have recently started meditating and if you really know me you know that I go to Starbucks every morning to get my writing in. Well, today was a little different. Me and my wife are down to one car. My car is in the shop. I usually take her to work and then off to work I go. When I got up this morning I forgot she took off to go to the doctor and so I got back in the bed because I knew that I couldn't go to Starbucks like I usually do. When I got back in the bed, this voice started talking to me and telling me that just because I couldn't go to Starbucks doesn't mean I have to change what I do. So I got up and went into the guest bedroom and meditated for twenty-minutes. Once again, It was AMAZING! At first it was hard to get relaxed and clear my mind. But once I got to that place of peace, I wanted to go another twenty-minutes. After I finished meditating, I took a shower and this is where it all went down. The shower is the place where I pray. I know it's weird but that's just a comfortable place for me. I prayed one of the best prayers I think I have ever prayed in my life. the reason why I say it was the best was because it was like I could feel the prayer and it was like God was right beside me really listening to what I was saying. Instead of asking God for the usually things I ask for, I asked for something different. I told him him that I was thankful for the tools that he has given me to get whatever it is I need and I also apologized for not using them to there full potential. I then asked God for something I have never asked for in my life. I asked him for consistency. I asked him to guide me down the path I need to be on and to help me stay consistent with all of the positive things that I am doing in my life. I was mainly talking about meditating.
Most of the times we never stay consistent with anything we do. We always start things but never keep on doing them. I am the first to admit it. I have started a lot of things in my life and have never really stayed on pace with any of them. There is nothing that is consistent in my life except for being inconsistent. Today, make it your business to try to stay consistent with the things that will better your life. Don't let obstacles stop you from completing them just find another way to get it done. Sometimes it may have you looking crazy in front of a lot of people but you have to do what you have to do in order to get what you want done. If I didn't get a chance to meditate at home and I couldn't do in the car you best to believe when I got to work I would sit there for ten-minutes and meditate and I wouldn't care who looked at me funny as long as I stayed consistent. Don't let obstacles get the best of you because they are not a one time thing. I am sitting in my living room right now just as I would if I were in Starbucks completing a task that an obstacle almost made me not complete. If I can do it, I know you can. And once you can get around that first obstacle, you will feel so good that it will inspire you to really keep pushing toward your goal.
