Wishy Washy/Double-minded/Lukewarm . . . Commit/Consistency/Focus

It doesn’t work. It’s not cool. It’s such a cop-out….living in the gray! It’s uneventful. It’s stressful. It’s draining. Commit to your convictions. Commit to your goals. Commit to your dreams. Live for you and according to your values. Walk knowing that you are amazing and have something special to offer the world! Being focused on what one needs to do doesn't mean that he or she is rude, inconsiderate, acting "funny," or being a snob. Can it just be that s/he is focused and because of that fact s/he doesn't notice the petty or take time to feed into it because doing so means giving energy to a person/event that doesn't produce/yield positive fruit? I mean really. We need to understand that the world offers so many distractions. It's hard enough to focus without working to "assure" the people who are more than likely not doing anything (by their own choice) that we aren't disregarding them. And you know, I think that wishy washy people are in fact not only self-centered, but they are also not willing to step up in order to step out because doing so means that they have to leave their comfort zones behind.....Leaving comfort zones behind, having growing pains, learning from one's mistakes/decisions/opportunities are completely rewarding for the person and the people the person reaches. Wade through the madness the world offers and find peace! Find the place that transforms you from being double-minded. Life is too short!

That’s my twenty-nine cents. Blessings.

Yes!!!! Girl...life is WAY too short for foolishness and foolish people. As I read the first few lines of your post, all I could think of was my self proclaimed theme song. Once I read the words COMFORT ZONE in your post, I knew our spirits were on the same page. I heard Smokie Norful's "Comfort Zone" for the first time a couple of weeks ago and immediately went to download it. I listen to it every day as I ask God to show me His plans for my life and guide me in being the Christian woman He's created me to be. Thank you for being Wonderful You! I love you My Jas!

kYm!! It's coming from the place we talked about....we have to get it done. Life is meant to be lived....we are educated, enlightened, and empowered, so we have to cut out/off the excess weight whatever it is and KEEP IT MOVIN'!!
