Here I stand with all the right fitness attire on and ready to go. I look out and see the sun shining and decide I must do this, its time to run. The door is open and I move towards the street and start running. As I increase my speed my breath gets heavier and I must really pace myself. There is determination to finish in my mind, so I keep running and running, only to realize I am running in place and not going anywhere.
How many times have we started our days with the right attire, have our to do list, our focus is on and we head out to life determined to finish our agenda. The problem is not in our ability to start, create a focus or even to see yourself finished, it is our inability to move towards the things that will enhance and empower our life.
For me I have found myself just running and running with the expectation of this great accomplishment only to realize I have done nothing and really gone no where. My ability to get things done can over rule my ability to see the important things to be done. Yes I know everything is important but some things don’t get you any where in life. I had to decide to stop being a runner in place and start leaving the place of busy and start running in the direction of production.
It’s not the big things in life that takes our breath away it’s those little things we pile up on our to do list that screams out to us we must get this done! We can put so much time in the grocery store, scrolling through face book, watching TV, listening to people who won’t change and more; that we never reach our goals.
Next time you make your list, check to see if you have assigned yourself empowerment time, fun time, and even time to rest. Lets not run in place with all our energy wasted only to realize we have gone no where and really accomplished nothing. Run to get the prize of reaching those goals that leads to your success!
