Introspective Tuesdays

Greetings Global Villagers,

Today is Introspective Tuesday and I want us to reflect on creating 10-year life plans.  On yesterday, I encouraged you to write out your 10-year life plan. Today, I want you to reflect on where you were emotionally, spiritually, physically, and psychologically this time last year.

When I think back to June 28th, 2010, I had just became a pescatarian, I was exercising five days a week, eating home-cooked meals regularly, and drinking 1/2 gallon of water daily. Today, I am still doing all of these things, but not at the same momentum. During one of my recent moments of introspection, I asked myself, "What happened to my disciplined lifestyle?"

I had not considered the two major outer transitions that occurred in my life back in September 2010. Then, I had to accept that I did not make the inner transitions to remain disciplined. One of my outer transitions evoked disappointment and the other evoked excitement. For example, I began traveling to Baltimore every weekend, which was very exciting to me. As a result of my new venture, I allowed my emotions to take over.  Thus, instead of being rational and thinking forward by packing prepared meals and workout clothes, I fell back from exercising regularly and began dining out more.

Reflecting on the example I just gave, ask youself, "Where was I this time last year? Have I fallen back, remained at status quo, or are am I excelling at a task?" Just something to ponder...

Why?

Because you must know that you were created with greatness!!
