Resolve

 I taught an Enrichment Activity last night on Food Storage.  Not because I'm great at it, just because I got to do it.  It has totally motivated me to get my food storage more organized, and move on to the next level.  There was a quote in a talk I read about food storage, and I love this quote.  It has given me resolve  to do more, finish what I've started, and meet my goals.  If you get a chance, you should read the whole talk, it's not too long, and it is awesome and motivating.  Here's the quote, and I'll put the link to the whole talk here too, just click on the quote.  "Don't ever make a commitment to yourself you don't intend to keep-if you do, you weaken your character."  How true is that?!  

Lately I've put myself on a healthy eating/exercising plan.  I've done that a few times already this year, and I haven't followed through.  Finally, I've done it.  I'm following through.  It gives me more resolve to keep following through, and to do more.  I love the feeling of doing what I've actually set out to do, not just having what I do decided for me by something/someone else.  That reminds me of another saying I've heard recently.  "If you don't decide what you are going to do with your life, it will get decided for you".  Not necessarily by people, but also by environment, circumstances, the adversary, etc.  I'm not letting anyone or anything be in charge of what I do with my life.  I will do it for me.
