Incompetence is the word to describe this week. It seems
like I have woken up every day feeling more and more insignificant. As the days
roll by I feel like there are too many things competing for every minute, and I
don’t have the productivity points to complete all of them in a day. I wake up
and feel the pressure of the oncoming events of the day. Nothing seems to build
me up, only tear me down more and more. My thoughts seem to shift all too
easily to my many weakness. Although we are given weaknesses to make us humble,
constantly dwelling on them is unhealthy and, at times, depressing. I can’t
read my strengths very well, and I feel as though my weaknesses well out-weigh
my strengths, but it’s times like this when we are most valuable to the Lord.
How can I solve this problem? First, I need to re-arrange my personal
constitution. I haven’t touched it since I first wrote it around three weeks
ago, and I am feeling the effects of it. As soon as I mold my personal
constitution, I will begin to assess my goals, both long term and short term. I
need to write my goals out more concisely, then I will have a clearer vision on
what things I will need to get done in a week, and what things I should spend
my productivity points on each day. The hardest thing for me to work in is social
time. I can do the work, but when friends are asking to go do something fun, it
is too tempting to withstand sometimes. I want to keep good relationships with
my family members, but that means making time to call them. Then there are
friends that I haven’t talked to in a long time who deserve a quick ring. It
all seems to pile onto my shoulders until my knees begin to shake and my legs
feel like they are about to give way; but a man is only as good as his
foundation. So for that reason, I will focus this week on tuning up my Personal
Constitution.
