Sometimes, people actually know and say the things they should do. There’s this whole phase where people talk and talk about their plans or tasks before doing them. I do this as much as anyone else.
My mom wrote this prayer for us:
“I love You, God.
Thank You, Jesus
Come Holy Spirit.
Reinforce my strengths.
Strengthen my weaknesses.
Make me stronger.”
I hear people saying what they know they should do, and my thought is like a heartbeat.
Then,
Do
it
Then, do it. Then do it. Then do it.
All I can do is reel myself back into myself. What is within my control? What can I do to help? Is there an obstacle that I can’t see? Are there other supports I can refer to?
I guess if my biggest gripe is that I don’t like listening to people say the right things and then not do them, my life is pretty darn good. I can choose to drink water and sit with posture that good for my body. I can run or swim outside of work. I can cook healthy food for my family.
I can pray.
Love,
