This is one of those days... You know the type, when you need to post an entry but you're really not feeling it... kind of like when you know you should get up early and exercise, but when the alarm goes off, you're just like, no way... not today... I need the extra 30 minutes of sleep, I mean, really NEED!
So, you crash the snooze bar on your alarm and roll over, covering your head with the blankets in order to hide your shame...
Unfortunately, there is no snooze bar on my blog... I either do it or I don't. So, here I am making a valiant effort at creating a post, when I'd much rather hit the snooze.
Is it a creative block?
Is it my pride...ego? (I don't feel like I have something profound to offer, so I let the blog remain silent...)
Perhaps I misunderstand the purpose for this forum...?
No matter what it is, I've got to get on this horse and ride... and then it hits me! BOOM! like a stick of dynamite exploding near by. (deafening roar, shaking window panes...you get the picture.)
This is about the daily battle we all face to do the things we know we need to do, but lack the motivation, focus, energy, or whatever, to make them happen.
This is about perseverance...about commitment to engaging in those tasks, duties, or other activities that we momentarily lose focus of their importance.
So get out there my friend, seize the moment... no matter how heavy the bags are under your eyes, no matter the thickness of your furrowed brow, or lack of get up and go... get up and GO!
Take hold of your lack of motivation and breathe life back into it... remember the cause you are serving, those who will benefit from your efforts, remember that there is more to what you do than the slight and momentary discomfort you may experience from shaking off the cobwebs of mental impotence... GO man GO!
Today is the day you make it happen! Today is the day you conquer the snooze bar of ineffectual performance! Today is your day to get "it" done.
