As I write this I’m in a struggle. Maybe you’ve been here before.
The money isn’t coming in like it should.
The kids are arguing constantly.
There doesn’t seem to be enough hours in the day to get it all done.
Staying on track with my schedule is virtually impossible.
Every task on my list is IMPORTANT!
I’m not sure I’m doing the right things at the right time in the right order.
I’m forcing myself to have peace in the midst of crazy.
The truck has some problems I wish I could have time/money to fix.
My coffee cup is almost empty, but again, time to make more is hard to find.
I might have overcommitted to a couple things.
I might be dropping the ball on some things with my wife.
It’s all adding up and causing unnecessary stress.
I know who I want to be but getting there is the hard part.
The kids are extra needy when I need extra focus.
I want to help but unfortunately I can’t be in more places than one.
My business isn’t what I want it to be and I’m not helping as many as I’d like to.
I have something super important I need to do but…again…priorities.
At the end of the day, it all boils down to taking the next right step. The one that matters and the one that will help you put the next foot in front of the other.
Staying focused is hard. Being intentional is hard. Being unselfish is hard. Doing the next right thing is hard. Being valuable is hard. Showing up is hard. Committing to consistency is hard.
But here I am. I’m at peace in the middle of it all. Because in the end, all that matters is doing it all for the right reason.
