“If we keep doing what we’re doing, we’re going to keep getting what we’re getting.” ~ Stephen Covey
today, i need to change.
truth be told…i needed to change yesterday. and the day before that. and the day before that day. but, those days are gone.
today is still here, tho. and for this moment, this day, my change looks like this…
purpose:
the reason for which something is done.
all too often i waste my time away. i spend valuable minutes, hours, on “things” of little to no value.
today…if it doesn’t have purpose – it doesn’t have me.
ready tam?
GO!
what can you change for today?
I'm eating again today. That has a purpose.
However, I was just now talking with Brian about how when I go back to normal life, how quickly I forget just how clear things had become when I was fasting – distractions gone (except with my work being internet based right now, email is constant), God literally as supplier of everything I need…
My "thing" right now is knowing what things I want to change, and what do I want to remain the same. So I'm gonna work on that today, since it's today here already.
Btw, is your new header not showing in Northern Ireland? 'Cause I've looked a lot of times since you tweeted it and it's still the old one. I figure it's just me since everyone else seems able to see it, unless it's a case of the emperor's new clothes.
Wait…it's here now. Must have taken a while to make it across the Atlantic. All good. And I like this MUCH better, it's way more the you I know
"it's way more the you I know"
i love that that is meant literally.
Me too.
I hate that I'm now 4500 miles away though (but as I keep telling Jenni, that's still better than the 7500 Australia was, right? I'm just really bad at golf, or anything sporting, and overshot the mark…or something).
Btw, today is nearly over here, and I've had some good progress on my thing. It might all change tomorrow when we're in England, but I feel better prepared for that mini-journey now.
say hi to england for me.
why? i do not know.
i can go to bed…. right now. and break the cycle of staying up too late and dragging the next day. sleep in the night serves a great purpose and i have been neglecting it by delay delay delay for no good reason at all.
thank you for the reminder;)
well…how did you do?
ha! still woke up sleepy, but i didn't drag all day. woot!
You are so pretty…
What can I change? I'm in the middle of a big personal overhaul anyway, so I don't really know what to add. Can I just say everything?
you can say everything. but that makes it more difficult.
take one thing and be mindful of that today. even if its small. its a start.
[and, thank you!]
To stop the insanity (Insanity is repeating the same thing over and over again expecting a different result)
I'm going to do something different in the moment
why do we do that? what is the result we're looking for? we're all guilty of it.
hmmm…
Like most days, I could change a lot today, but the fact of the matter is I won't. Not sure what it takes cuz knowing change is needed is simply not enough.
No change today……and I have no excuse.
toby – i always appreciate your honesty. really, i respect that.
but, knowing change is needed…is the perfect start. its the beginning point. not doing anything after that revelation is whats not enough.
love you, brother…
What a perfect response! and one that I needed!
Indeed it is not enough at all…..gotta get moving
Thanks for that!
phew. wasnt sure how that was gonna go.
=)
Well tomorrow is only 45 minutes away…. WOW.
I changed my world today, by giving the $25 Vons grocery card that I really needed to young family today. They had a warm meal… they had time around their family table.
My heart is full knowing that ………………………………as I hit the pillow..
