I was asked this morning how does one know that I am taking the the steps to make the changes that I said I would..... this is how...hits it right on the head.
Weakness
Do I have a weakness? I am nothing but weakness. I am not naturally strong, or fast, or flexible. I am certainly not the smartest person in the world.
I get emotional over stupid things. I eat the wrong foods. I don't sleep enough. I procrastinate and I waste time. I care too much about meaningless things and not enough about important things. My ego is to big. My mind is to small, trapped inside itself.
Not all that being said, I have a saying: A person's strength is often their biggest weakness. But, their weakness can become strengths. Me? I am weak, in all those ways, I am weak.
But
I don't accept that.
I don't accept that I am what I am and that "that" is what I am doomed to be. NO! I do not accept that. I am fighting. I am always fighting. I am struggling and I am scraping and kicking and clawing at those weaknesses- to change them. To stop them. Some days I win. But some days I don't. But each and every day: I get back up and I move forward. With my fist clenched. Towards the battle. Towards the struggle. And I fight with everything I've got.: To overcome those weaknesses and those shortfalls and those flaws as I strive to be just a little bit better today than I was yesterday......
