We have reached the half-way point in the year of completion.....where do you stand? Stating that 2007 is the year of completion is not anything new as it should be a common statement to most people. Last year, I recall hearing a number of people talk about the opportunity that was waiting for us this year. Well, it's now June...and where do you stand? As I recall hearing those words, I thought to myself….now how is that going to be possible? How is everyone in the world going to be able to benefit from this great year? And as I reflect on what I’ve been able to observe so far is that the year of completion rewards only those that have the desire, motivation, determination, energy and belief that what they need to complete will happen. It is not enough to just say that I can and will benefit from this marvelous year. The bigger question is…what are you doing about what is available to you? It is now June…the halfway point and have you even identified, addressed, awakened or even moved to your purpose and any item of completion in your life? Let me state it simpler. If you are a person that started the year off saying, “I’m going to lose weight. I am going to go back to school. I’m going to get out of debt…I’m going…I’m going…I’m going…..
Yet and still, you are still eating whatever you want. You have not gone to the gym or walked more than what is required to get you from point A to point B. You are still shopping and have not evaluated your bills or credit. Or better yet, did you start off the year strong and by mid-February...life and the struggles that come with walking in your pupose wore you out and you find that you are waiting for the bell to go "ding".. Or better yet, have you found that endurance seemed to be impossible to maintain or even acquire?
Do not let this year pass you by without lifting a finger or giving a thought to how you can make a change in your life. Get back in the fight! If you don't seem to have enough in you, find you a cheerleader. Find you someone that is willing to cheer you on...even though it may appear that you are losing. Have you ever watched a boxing match and it seemed that all the boxer needed to do was throw one more punch...do one more dance...one more block. Do you see what happens when the trainer just whispers a word of encouragement in the ear of the boxer..even when it appears that the boxer is on his last leg? Sometimes, we are the same way and instead of just trying one more day, one more time or even one more minute...we give up and lay on the ropes of life and lose out on the bigger prize.
I have to tell you if this write-up stirred up something in you, then it is time to get moving. Deal with yourself, deal with your stuff and just make it happen. Dr. Lakita Long often says, do not talk about it…be about it! I love that quote because it prompts anybody to realize that the very thing that is needed requires self-reflection and action.
Now I must warn Mr. and Mrs. Procrastinator that you have your work carved out. Since you have haphazardly let six months go by, you can expect the next six months to be one of the most trying times of your life, but if you press and persevere, it will be well worth it. I’m hoping these words will be a kick in the butt that is needed to encourage you to the next level. Now that you received a jolt of energy…don’t just lay
there…get off the ropes and get moving!
