People don’t take time to do things anymore. We are rushing off here and there. Especially this time of year is there a lot of running around. We put so many to do things on our list that we only half-halfheartedly do it. Too often we have the attitude that is “good enough”.
My objection to this is when we do this we lower our own self worth. We tell ourselves that we are not capable of excellence. We should take pride in what we do. We should show ourselves that we are capable of doing an outstanding job at all times.
Why? Because by doing an excellent job in every little task, we build up our confidence to handle even the toughest of times.
Be grateful. What is better to have dishes to wash or not to have dishes at all? What is better to need to vacuum and dust or to not have a home? What is better to have to clean baby hand prints on the window or to not have a healthy baby learning to walk? You get the idea.
So the next time you have some little task don’t rush. Take pride in what you do. Be still in the moment. Find peace in it. And when you are done smile and nod knowing you did better than “good enough”. And when those storms of life come you will be prepared.
Cheers!
