The good old snooze button

​This morning, I had a bit of an awakening. It dawned on me that I'm constant daily battle against my little and big weaknesses. They're sneaky, hiding behind various behaviors, thoughts, and stories I tell myself.

Most of the time, they like to take the form of seeking the easiest way out, whether it's avoiding uncomfortable situations, feelings, or conversations, or just plain procrastination. Other times, they go to the extreme opposite and hide by diverting all my attention and effort elsewhere, where it's more comfortable to get distracted and where I feel good about myself.

This simple realization hit me like a ton of bricks today, and it pushed me into action mode. I confronted a few of these weaknesses as they slithered beneath the surface.

Because, let's face it, this is a battle I'm destined to lose if I don't wake up to it and take action.
