What would you give?
Continuing the thought process from my last post…. This time I want to change the verbage to “I would give anything…”
What is the difference between the two? Well, think of how large both of those concepts are. Doing anything, and giving anything. Anything. Limitless options. Scary, limitless options. But I do have my limits, as we all do.
Doing anything? I won’t kill anyone. I won’t mess with my family. I won’t let anyone else mess with my family. There are a lot of things that I will not do.
Give anything? What would I give up to get what I want? And why should I have to? I have this thing about HAVING to do things. Change for situations and people. In my head it makes no sense that I should be the one to change. There is nothing wrong with me.
Hence, the crux of my weight problems. I can’t get beyond myself. I am the roadblock of my life.
Nice. Just peachy.
So lets look at what I can INCLUDE in my life rather than EXCLUDE. Something that I can do on a daily basis that is good for me. Something that I will actually do.
Today I will drink 5 glasses of water. I don’t drink enough water. Starting today I will, and that will be my goal every day going forward. Until I decide to change it. I decide.
There, that wasn’t so bad, now was it?
