It is important that we are mindful of the fact that we are always in the process of becoming one of my favorite quotes is “you do not have to be perfect to start but you have to start to get better”. The reality is we all have areas in our lives that we may consider ourselves to be great and then there are areas that we would claim to be an amateur at. While both statements could be true, we are not limited and should not limit ourselves based on our strengths or our weaknesses. There is always room for improvement in our weaknesses and in even in our strengths there is still room to grow.  The most common problem often seen is that most people are okay with setting for winning in one area or some areas of their life and okay with failing badly on other areas. That will be okay but only for a short period of time it is our responsibly to have priorities and order In our life.  The truth is sooner or later the areas in which we struggle if not addressed they can get out of control and negatively affect the other areas of our life.  Most of us are in denial that this is a real thing and while many of us understand this principle we may choose to ignore it or keep putting it off for a later date.  Procrastinating equals frustration and the feeling of being overwhelmed will gradually increase which puts us into a toxic space and a severe case of playing catch up while trying to cure disease at the same time.

I am always impressed and take great amazement in the irony of how everything and everyone is connected by one source, which confirms to me that everything that we do and not do is connected and where there is a cause there is an effect.  We all have hopes to be successful in life and we may be willing to commit to go to school to get a degree ,or take courses on what we needed , but will refuse to commit to working on our health , getting right spiritually , working on our mind , our  relationships , our language , and creating structure in our life. The truth is in order to obtain true success each of those plays an important part on our journey achieving success, it is as equivalent to the bible phrase praying without believing or claiming to have faith with out putting in the work to achieve those goals. My strong suite is speaking and writing my not so strong suites is in technology and managing finances. In 2020 and in the world of entrepreneurship it is possible to grow by word a mouth but there is also a very direct and broad connection that we have access to by being open to the usage of technology and social platforms. As finances are concerned, I am aware that God cannot bless me with more until I begin to take responsibility and begin working on the areas that I struggle most while money is not my primary focus it is very important.  In order to excel and grow in life we must be willing to get comfortable with being uncomfortable facing our struggles head on and making them a priority to get right while we are in a position to do so.

In closing I want to encourage everyone reading today to get proactive with your life, start by committing to self, taking care of you as a whole. Invest time in learning lessons and using wisdom on how to apply them to your everyday life. It is okay to have knowledge but remember it  is beneficial to our life and well-being when we do not become a knowledge hoarder but to learn and take immediate action.  Just as your career is important so is your health, just as your relationship with others are important a relationship with self is important. Being available for self is just as important as being available and in service to everyone , being a good  parent is important and it is important to be a good person that is committed to not be limited by the roles we play or the positions we are in . Self-accountability and having integrity are just as important and even more important than having accountability partner, why? No one can want a good life for you more than you are willing to work for it and you have to be committed to no quitting on yourself.  Procrastination is a fancy word that Is used to cover the definition of lazy do not allow your need to be comfortable in the moment to rob you of the opportunity to be extraordinary in the long run.
