“Just Do it?” Blog #153
No matter what I try, do I fall back into the old habits?
How much of my life is artificial information right now?
Where can I possibly gleam new direction - and stay with IT?
So now we have closed the door to the old year 2024. Never to return again. There are so
many of us out here who actually are really glad to be done with this year. I heard a
fascinating fact today, I heard “most Americans now take at least four prescriptions every
single day”. FOUR prescriptions are the norm! Yet, how many of us have sat down and
drawn up a chart of a NEW healthy way I want to start eating? How many of us have
decided to leave a TOXIC RELATIONSHIP now affecting my health?
How many of us can say TODAY IS THE DAY I START OVER FOR 2025?
IF a little magic genie went around the country and closed all the liquor stores and all the
vape and pill stores and shut down the aisles with all food that is processed, that leaves
only the outside aisles to deal with. Then we would have to COOK OUR FOOD FROM
SCRATCH and eat RAW FOOD FROM THE VEGETABLE AISLES. To further my dream, WHEN I GO
HOME THERE ARE NO MORE MURDER MYSTERIES, NO MORE CRIME SHOWS, NO MORE DARK AND
DANGEROUS PROGRAMS TO TRY TO GRAB MY ATTENTION. I THEN fantasize receiving a notice
in the mail saying, “Once a week it is mandatory you meet and greet your neighbor. Find
out how they are doing. Meet their family! Plan a get together and just enjoy each others
company.” Then when going each year for a physical my holistic Health Practitioner now
sits and listens to “the way I live and eat and navigate my day”. Imputing a healthy plan of
action and “Prevention from Disease” If this were so, much fear would be removed from
our daily way of living.
Why can’t I do this? Most of all because LIFE HAS CHANGED COMPLETELY. Most of us no
longer pick up the telephone or CALL someone to see how they are! WE ONLY TEXT EACH
OTHER. NO VOICES ARE HEARD. NO EMOTION IS SHOWN. NO INTEREST. I know in my own life it
appears to be getting busier and busier with mundane stuff. Quality and Love and
understanding all appear to be on back burners with so many relationships ongoing right
now.
How do I fix this? LIVE EACH DAY WITH AN UNDERSTANDING HEART. Why can’t I do It? Life gets
in the way. People push a different direction. It gets cold. Instead of learning how to be
more understanding with any person I may have a disagreement, it is less and less likely I
pick up the phone and just talk. Far more likely I will TEXT. THE COLD OBLITERATED, ‘THIS IS IT”
TEXT.
How many of us have built a wall around our entire life right now? Do I want to believe
living in a shell is good for me? Who EVEN writes letters anymore when I can TEXT…TEXT TO
MY HEARTS CONTENT. NO ONE CAN FEEL, SEE OR HEAR HOW I EXPRESS MYSELF.
This year I want closer relationships with others, others who are authentic. I want to
express myself telling only the truth. I want to have an understanding heart and purposely
NOT judge another human being. WHY CAN’T I JUST DO IT?
I can do this now. I now have tools in place. I now have my best friend; JESUS.
Remembering now, I understand tools are useless IF I DO NOT USE them. So at the forefront
of my day, before I leave my bed I pray, “Help me Jesus”. I am cleansing my thoughts and
taking deep breaths. This always helps me go forward and do “HIS WILL, NOT my will”. In
place now is discipline, discernment and the biggie……DETACHMENT.” I DETACH FROM ALL
THE PEOPLE AND ALL THINGS I CANNOT POSSIBLY FIX. I say to myself; ‘Yes Lord, I can DO IT”
I believe I have help from Jesus today - no more Why Can’t I do it”
I say to myself, “JUST DO IT - START NOW!”
