Living Juicy – Completing
Completing has to do with trust and integrity. If you have a habit of completing things other people will trust you when you say you’re going to do something. More importantly, though, is trusting yourself.
Many of us have things we’d like to do – nap, get a pedicure, write a book, get some exercise, etc. And we plan those things with the best of intentions, but then something important comes up; your kid gets a cold or your cat has to go to the vet. You say to yourself, “This is more important right now. I’ll get to my thing later.” But how often do you get to your thing? How often do you take that walk or go to the gym? I’ll bet other things keep coming up and you rarely, if ever, get to your own thing.
In time, you become extremely dependable to other people. They know they can count on you. I think that’s the most attractive part of that lifestyle. Knowing that you have a certain amount of respect from the people in your life.
Unfortunately, when you live that way there’s one person who completely loses trust in you… that’s yourself! You aren’t respecting your own wishes, plans, or desires. Over time, you can develop a habit of not completing things that are important to you. I know, I’ve done it! I’m going along in life, and all of the sudden I look around and all my family members have these amazing lives that I helped them create, and I’m over here wondering what happened? Why don’t have all the things I wanted?
Hmmmm… that’s a good question.
Imagine what your life would be like if you could count on yourself the way other people count on you.
Try this- listen to this song, and imagine that you are singing it to yourself. How do you feel? Does you feel hopeful? Sad? Envious? Feel free to share in the comments.
