It's the little moments...that rob me from my desires.
It is the pleasures that can rob me from true joy.
It is all the "I guess so's" that keep me from the "yes".
That is what I am on a mission in my life to simplify.
I have been picking what the most important elements to my life are. Quality time with the Lord and with friends and family. School and work are also high priority. I want to do my best when I am in class or at my job. I also want exercising and staying in shape to be a priority so I can live a long and healthy life.
In order to do this I realized there were a lot of wants but not priorities crowding my schedule. These wants have made it hard to focus on the priorities and so I have started cutting them out and it hurts! They are "wants" for a reason.
Here is to letting the good go in order to pursue the best. May the little moments of our days be the best moments of our days - after all the little moments are what make the big moments.
That is always so hard to do!! Having to give up on some of those little things that bring you pleasure, but you know you can't do it all so some sacrifices must be made for the greater good!
ReplyDeleteIt is hard but it is good to know that my life will be a little more stress free because of it. :-)
