When it was time to move from the last apartment I didn’t want to, but I had no choice. Sometimes I don’t want to change.
Which is weird since my job in IT is changing things for companies and people. I usually thrive on change, but in certain areas it is harder to make.
Why am I sharing this? I was thinking today how much better my apartment and situation was than in the last apartment. I love having a washer/drier built in and not needing to send clothes off. Its not the cost but the convenience of it.
I have asked you the reader to consider change when it helps you. I also have to live what I believe. There are times where what I need to do is not what I want to do.
Another example. I often say to my friends mostly as a joke “Don’t put off tomorrow what you can do today.” I believe that. Each day I try to do as much as I can because I want my life to mean something.
However yesterday that was challenging for me. Yesterday I considered assembling a projector screen and the first projector screen from that company took 6 hours, and was complex and tiring. I was afraid of the commitment of the second screen yesterday.
Then a little voice in my head said “Oh you say Don’t put off tomorrow what you can do today to others, but you are a hypocrite if you don’t do this today.” I had to agree with that and I reluctantly assembled the screen. It took 3 hours and was easier than the first but I am still sore today.
It is normal and human to not want to do what is difficult. Its ok to not be perfect. It wouldn’t have been a mistake to not do it yesterday. However I am glad that I did it and realize that I should have done this sooner. I love the new screen and will write more about it on Monday.
We don’t need perfection in our thoughts and actions, just consistency.
