Most of us are like little kids when it comes to discipline. We want the stuff and the wonderful results, but it seems every time the word "work" is mentioned or "discipline" is required we all put up a whining face. It does not matter what the criterion is, loosing weight, kicking an old bad habit, working on an involved project, or being steadfast where results are not fast coming our way. One familiar task which requires much discipline and courage really, is getting rid of our junk. Stuff we have collected for years and are bothered by the fact that they are taking so much room cluttering our space. Some might even say the overwhelming part is just getting started. But why is it so hard to get started? I know it is not time all have more time when it really comes right down to it. But the glitch seems to be, making decisions and letting go of our attachments! Now that is the same for old habits as it is for old junk. I am currently dealing with just such a scenario my self and learning about me as I notice that as cluttered as my closets and storage sheds are, so is my mind. God help us all!
I am really trying to keep my usual positive and hopeful attitude towards our humanity and mankind in general, but recent events have brought the old anger back in me which is really frustration and anxiety about Politicians and the money mongers of the world about which I can take no real action of any significance. I see hunger and destitude in the masses of this U.S. of A, the richest country on earth, I see the very weak and the elderly, the homeless and the hard working class suffer while the political will of some nuts is runnning amock! God help me to accept what I can change and that over which I have no control, and please God give me the wisdom to know the difference. It is nothing new, just different land, different time in the history of the ignorant man and the greed of the fools!
