So here we were cleaning out all of the old clothes from our closet and dressers. Not much a "fun-filled" activity. I guess that is why we wait so long before we do it. Maybe not you, but I have a hard time parting with certain things. I have a high value on conservation, thus making it hard to rid myself of the shoes that have not been worn for 2 years. The one cool thing however was noticing that I had far more clothing available to me than I originally thought. Even after riding myself of everything that no longer fit, was in style, or just flat out had not been worn, I still had a good bit left. I even came across several items that I forgotten all about. I was so excited too (of course it doesn't take much for me to get excited).
It made me reflect on how much of our lives are "routine". Now is a good time to go back to some of the basics and pull up some of the old files. Business is as usual. Relationships are on cruise control, spiritually going through the motions, etc... I think you get the picture. I believe that we need to consistently challenge the "status quo". If things are not working for us in the present, we have a tendency to go outward and find something new. Many times all we need to do is go back and remind ourselves of strategies we have used in the past (the ones that have worked).
Take a moment and write out a list of your accomplishments in your lifetime. Then pick 2 of them and write out HOW you made those things happen. More often than not, you will find a pattern. You may find that it is a pattern you had stowed away in the back of your mind. My encouragement to you is dust it off and get excited.
