Giving myself a kick start

As you can see by the number of blogs in September, I flaked out on myself - and whoever reads this blog. I am very aware of that trait that I have. I'll start something and be all gung ho about it and then it will slowly but surely fall to the wayside and I'll wonder why. The reality of it is my lack of self-discipline. But I am not going to let that happen to me on this blog or on the stories and book I am writing. I'll just call September a vacation and go back to the schedule I had set for myself.

I know I have, so many times in my life, done that - let things fall to the wayside and when I look back I do wonder why, at the time they sounded so wonderful, but I know myself well and I have very good intentions, but my mom told me - Good intentions pave the way to hell. So good intention isn't enough, you have to have follow thru.

It is, I think one of those crossroads issues. I came to a point in my life in September I let laziness take over. So instead of striding down purposefully on the correct path, I took the inner tube down a lazy river. It left me feeling disappointed in myself. And that feeling I didn't like.

We often allow excuses to fill in for laziness, like, I was too busy or too tired or, or, or...

I truly felt this blog was a benefit, not only to myself, but to others. So there really is no excuse to not follow thru with it and get back on a proper schedule. And I know it will make me proud of myself again.

So many things in life are like that. They are important and do good for others and yourself. If you have something in your life like that, then figure out why you really didn't keep up with it. If it impacted your life in a positive manner, the chances are you really need to get back into the full swing of it all again.

Yes, our lives are busy and yes, as the end of the work day we are tired, or at really anytime of day you can use 'I'm tired' as an excuse. But don't. Get back to it. I know that just by typing this today I am feeling good about myself and I know when I do it tomorrow's I'll feel even better.
