Let’s Count The Improvements
The biggest thing we need to count is improvement.
Small improvements are fine; as long as we keep on improving, our small gains will compound over time. I am seeing small and gradual improvements in my life; I just saw some today.
Today, when that moment arrived where I get mentally fatigued and tired, I did not fall apart.
My worst self usually comes out in those moments. When I am tired, I get weak mentally and I become more vulnerable to negative emotions. If this happens when I am at work, for example, I just want to go home and be alone by myself.
Today, however, I was able to get over it. I stuck through it, the clouds turned away and I was able to finish my day. If I keep overcoming these hills like this, I will eventually win, I will ultimately see the mountaintop.
There are several things I am really struggling with.
One is sports betting, or gambling. I thought my knowledge of football would bring me untold riches from betting on matches, but I’m losing like hotcakes there and now I am beginning to sound more and more like an addict. I am rationalizing my decisions, which is the first step to ruin. If I don’t find a way, I will be in big trouble.
But, today I will focus on the positives, I can only improve myself one step at a time.
Me posting now today is also an improvement because I have missed several weeks, even months, of my lofty goal of posting every Monday.
But that is how things go. Improvement is strenuous and happens over a long period of time. You will fall off continuously and you just have to keep picking yourself up again and getting back on track.
Stay mega blessed.
