Neglect Much?

With everything we have to do to keep our heads above water these days, I’m sure the last thing you want to hear is; “What are you still neglecting?” No one wants to hear about going the proverbial extra  mile.

(Getting tired just thinking about it… huh?)

Did you know that about 3 out of 100 of us will still be in business this time next year? Did you know that it is in the way we do the small things in life that gives us the kahunas strength for the big things?

Great things are peeking out at us from around every corner. These bigger things will elude us if we squander our lives in neglectful living.

Success is the trophy for outstanding attention to our day-to-day disciplines. A little fear right now is an appropriate reaction, however…it is easy to put neglect behind you! In fact, you can do it right now.

“The things that are easy to do are also not easy to do. The primary reason most people are not doing as well as they could, can be summed up in a single word: Neglect”.

It is clear we need to find something that makes sense, something kind and orderly…something safe.Perhaps our limited view of perfection encapsulates things of a chaotic nature as well as the sweet.

Just look at your kitchen right now…no matter how much cleaning is done within its square footage it is in a constant state of decline and decay.

Remember when the babies were born?…perfection and light.How’s the car and house lookin? How many loads of laundry are goin on at your house?

Everything wonderful comes with it’s not so wonderful sidekick…Entropy. (Just look at the state of your breasts, they speak volumes- Not any more!) I have a tendency to resist such thinking…and that’s where, I conclude, I have gone wrong.
