While I was eating lunch yesterday, I had some deep thoughts.

I always say that I want to be more service oriented. I want to do nice things for people. I want to think more about others and less about myself. I want to do things for people that would make me smile if they were done to me. I want to make others feel special, loved, important. I want to ease someone's burden.
But no matter what, I always claim that I'm too busy to do this.
"I'll do it tomorrow. I've got a bunch going on today."
"I'll start next week. This is a CRAZY week."
"I can't possibly fit another thing in now. I'll get around to it."
But how long are the excuses going to last?
I'm ALWAYS going to be busy. Life isn't going to get any simpler. There will always be other things to do.
So why wait?
Why not start NOW?
After all, isn't the whole point of service to give of yourself--even though it may be hard to do?
I think I missed that.
So I'm starting NOW.
Who's with me?
Mmm fresh fruit and PB&Honey sandwich! Yummy!
ReplyDeleteI often think "I'll do it later, I'm so busy now" and then have a hard time finding time when I'm *not* busy. Life doesn't slow down sadly. You are right, it's time to start *making* time even when we think we don't have it!
Very true. Life doesn't slow down for us and we got to jump on the boat and row it or drown. Good thoughts!
ReplyDeleteSo true Brit. Every word. I had those exact thoughts last week, and I know we didn't discuss this. I guess we really are on the same wavelength! Funny how when you forget about yourself and think and DO for someone else that you can feel so good and it all comes back to you in the end.
ReplyDeleteAnyway... I'm in! (just gimme two weeks! hahah) OK... NOW!!
Only 36 days O M G
Loves!
beautiful thoughts! I totally agree- I do the same thing with well.. EVERYTHING. I'm with you!
ReplyDeleteBritney, you've got school, you're a wife, and you have a baby on the way... don't be so hard on yourself girl! You already give a lot to others. :)
ReplyDeleteI'm with you! I feel like this constantly, and I just need to stop thinking about it and DO something! Love your blog, you're adorable! :)
