What are you passionate about?
What's important to you?
Are there things that you have settled for?
I think a lot of us (including myself) try to convince ourselves that where we are at is where we always dreamed we would be. We try to convince ourselves that we are OK right here.
And to an extent, that is true because we have Christ here and now and He is always enough.
But at the same time, I think a lot of us have settled for our current status quo. For our current reality.
Whatever happened to pursuing dreams?
Whatever happened to letting go of a lesser thing in order to pursue the best thing?
Get your life so full of "good" things and you will always miss out on the "best" things.
More thoughts on this to come, but for today, what can you change about yourself (what can you change about your habits or your choices or your thinking) to get you one step closer to where you really want to be?
Don't settle for what is good when you can go take what is best.

Just Do Something
I've been incredibly busy the last few months, but that doesn't mean that there hasn't been time when I could have been working on various projects.
Recently, I've been realizing that sometimes I don't start projects that I can't complete (because I feel like I don't have enough time).
Or, I want to do a HUGE project that is totally unrealistic in one day.
Take writing this post for example: Sometimes I want to write a book or a novel or a really long blog post. All of that can prevent me from writing at all. Which is a complete waste.
So today, I'm trying something new.
I'm going to just do something.
I'm going to write a little bit.
After all, the way that you write a 150 page book is to write one word at a time.
The journey of a thousand miles is taken one step at a time.
If we don't start, we will never get there.
Start today.
Lift a few weights. Read a couple pages. Write a few words. Talk to some people. Do something for someone else that they don't expect. Stop looking at yourself. Look at others.
Think positively.
I've heard that it takes ten positive thoughts to get rid of one negative thought.
We have to train our minds to think postiviely.
