"What gets measured gets improved."
It's profound isn't it? I started "measuring" my own life, and I've realized that I've fallen short in a lot of areas. I've begun to ask myself the question, why? Am I spinning too many plates? Have I lost focus of my dreams and goals? Am I just too lazy to maintain everything that I have going on? Am I doing everything for the right reasons? What's my motive for everything? Am I just trying so hard to maintain that I'm forgetting to live? Is this really God's best for my life?
I've asked myself every question, and still find it difficult to arrive at a answer for most of them. Every question could go either way, and I guess that is truly the problem. Life in the gray area is never fun. It is confusing and unclear, and definitely not God's best. He's not confusing at all. So now I'm on this war path to "improve" that which I've measured. Life is boring when nothing changes. I'm a big fan of change because I've come to realize that it's the only constant. Everything changes except that fact that change is always going to come. I thought it would be easier to come home and that I would finally be moving out of that gray area. Come to find out that the gray area is even more vast here then it was in Florida. Although now I have more direction with where I'm going in life, I still have those neverending questions. When am I going to get my own place? Get married? But I know when those questions get answered, I'll have 20 new ones pop up. It's just all so crazy.
So basically I'm measuring and improving upon areas of life. I urge you to do the same... improvement is always good, even if it doesn't seem that way.
