My 2020 has officially begun. Had a few weeks of travel with the fam and today is the day we get back to the grind...I have been running my brain through what this next decade and year are going to consist of. The thoughts, feelings and desires of grandeur are just as big in my mind as the next person. They are unfortunately accompanied by this sinking sense of comparative shame.
'Why would I try?' 'I could never do that', 'nobody wants my perspective anyway...'
My brain continues this comparative cultural cancer of aligning, validating, or rejecting based on those around me. Building or deconstructing the impact of my life not based on reality, but rather my internal thoughts of the patterns of behavior that have gotten me to this moment. Many of those thoughts are positive, however my brain wrecks havoc on the idea that these patterns will get me to the grandeur of what's in my heart in the coming year and decade. In many ways I am having to force my brain to shift.
Change is a product of being willing to break out of normal. I invite you to engage the process of change today, in a way that's slightly upgraded from yesterday. Then doing it again tomorrow.
Perhaps its engaging in a conversation thats uncomfortable, perhaps it's engaging in some form of exercise, maybe even engaging some meditation with God, it could be putting a hammer through your vice...whatever it is - lets get after 2020 by expanding our normal everyday...
