each person’s nature may influence whether she is the action-oriented or cerebral type. Sometimes it can be just as hard to slow down and have quiet time to reflect, as it is to knock down your action list.

You seem like one of the more “aware” people here, Julie. I think you can do whatever you set your mind to do. The fact that you realize your need will point you in the right direction.

I really appreciate your response. :)

There are two forms of achievement — 1 week ago

SG added an entry about realizations.:

Achievements can be abstract or concrete.

The abstract achievement may include planning, hoping, dreaming, prayer, faith, love…the things that are necessary to feed the spirit and nourish the soul. Without abstract achievement, happiness would allude us all.

The concrete achievement includes items checked off the list for the day, calls made, bills paid, visits, appointments actually placed on the calendar and attended, truly finishing anything, small or big, that you set out to do.

The trick to real achievement is balancing the abstract and concrete. This requires an awareness in the mind of whether the scale is tipping one way or the other. I want to make a conscious effort to balance the abstract and concrete achievements in my life…I believe I will see some positive results if I keep this objective in the front of my mind and pursue it with fervor.
