It all started last night. While I was getting ready for bed, I told myself that I should go ahead and shave to save a little time on getting ready the next day. I didn't do it because I knew that I had a few hours to get ready. Well, when I woke up this morning it was 6am. My alarm wasn't set to go off until 6:30am. Yes, I decided to lay back down for 30 minutes. While I was laying there I started thinking. I thought to myself, "If I am already awake, why am I still laying here waiting on an alarm? What will laying here for 30 more minutes do for me?" Once I realized that it wouldn't benefit my life in any way, I immediately jumped out of bed and started getting ready. Before I knew it, I was ready for work and still had about 2 and a half hours to spare.
As I was about to walk out the door, I remembered that I had bought some Fiber One cereal. Yes, I am trying to eat better and Fiber One cereal is not just for older people. It's for people who are trying to eat healthy and take care of their body. Anyway, I stopped and fixed me a bowl of this Fiber One cereal. As I took my first bite, I realized why a lot of people don't eat it. It doesn't taste that great. It's not that bad, but it is something you have to get use to eating. As I was about to throw it in the trash I thought about something. I thought about the first time I had a beer. I thought it was disguisting. I couldn't even take two swallows of it. But as the years went by and I kept trying beer, I begin to like it. This cereal is the same way. I just have to get use to it. I have to get my taste buds accustom to the taste.
This is how we have to do with our life. We have to get our life accustom to doing the things we need to do. It's not going to be easy to readjust yourself, but it will be beneficial in the long run. Instead of taking that extra time to sleep, get up and do something that will benefit your life or even your spouses life (if you are married). And if it taste bad at first, don't worry, you will get use to the taste and it won't be as bad...you might even start liking it after a while. I know it makes you feel good about yourself. I have written two articles and I am working on a third one. I feel GREAT!
So will you beat the alarm clock or let the alram clock beat you? What will be your Fiber One cereal? Just remember, it's just like liquior...it taste bad but makes you feel good after a while, but only without the side effects the next day and it helps your body instead of hindering it.
