Dear Heavenly Father, please help me to never cross the line

Walt Elias Disney was not a model of physical health.

 

Until we walk a mile in another person’s shoes, we have no idea what they are going through.

Each night as i floss my teeth, i am reminded that we are a product of our priorities.

Dear Heavenly Father, please help me to never cross the line in using my observations of others to help me shape my priorities.

There are things like disease and accidents that no matter what you do, you may have to fight battles you never imagined.

Not going to “sugar-coat” this. Flossing teeth is tedious, time consuming, and boring.

And so it goes.

On April Fool’s Day 2009, jeff noel began writing five daily, differently-themed blogs (on five different sites). It was to be a 100-day self-imposed “writer’s bootcamp”, in preparation for writing his first book. He hasn’t missed a single day since.

Don’t know what that means?

Neglect happens for many reasons, few of which are intentional.

 

Just days away from a new year, many of us are thinking about change(s) we’d like to make. For some reason the beginning of a new year feels like an opportunity to personally begin anew.

We should hold ourselves accountable for our past track record. Celebrate and give ourselves credit if we deserve it. And forgive ourselves and recommit in a different way moving forward if necessary.

rethink • reprioritize • recommit

Every failure or success is directly linked to logical priorities.

Not all of us have our priorities listed logically. Often, emotions over-ride logic. Illogical priorities are not intentional.

Don’t know what that means? Then our first priority is to come to understand it. Yeah, it may be difficult, but until we can articulate common sense priorities, success will elude us.

Are you crystal clear?

We metaphorically put the most important thing up on a pedestal.

Another option is to wear a manifestation of it (crucifix) around our neck.

Or we can have our every step proclaim what’s most important to us.

Flashback: i used to take my crucifix off when “wrestling/playing” on the floor with our two-year old. One day i left it off for two years. A reminder that he won’t know what i value by what i wear, only by what i do.
