I am suspicious of warning lights. This latest warning light started with the not so threatening "Keyboard Batteries Low". It is now trying to convince me that this is an extremely desperate situation.
It takes, what about 1 minute to put batteries into something? But will I be getting up and changing them? No.
This has happened to me before and then I got all mad at myself because I was in the middle of writing something and then my keyboard was useless. By the time I got things taken changed out, my creative thoughts were all gone.
We all have things that like. My wife, for example, is a planner and not a risk taker at all except for one thing.
The gas level in her car.
When that light comes on it is just another pretty decoration for her car dash, not a reason to stop.
The beginning of almost every car trip for us:
-"Hey did you know your gas light is on?"
-"Oh yeah that has been on for awhile, we should probably go get gas."
How about you? What is your thing you avoid even though you know you will pay for it later?
With many people it is starting an exercise program. They get motivated by moments in life that you don't want to have to go through.
The doctor tells you it is time to exercise.
For years you have put on a few pounds here and there now you are 40 pounds overweight and have terrible self esteem.
You have no energy to play with your kids or engage with your spouse.
Don't let it get to that point! Take that first step today.
You know you need to do something, it is just really hard to take that first step. But I promise you that once you take that first one, you will feel so much better.
Do one thing today to get you headed in the right direction.
