Day 3
The area of my life I want to focus on to do better at is personally accountability. I need to do better at doing the things I KNOW will put me where I need to be. So I want to list the ways I fall short. I wasn’t raised catholic but one part of the Catholic Church I’ve always admired is confession. It’s one thing to know you're wrong but to admit your faults and sins to another person gives you the power to hold yourself accountable to not only ask for forgiveness but make corrective action. So here is what I want to change.
Focus and laziness/sloth. Wanting to rest when I have the time and energy to do the things that will make me better mentally/physically and financially. Sitting in a comfort zone.
Pride. I know I have a lot to be proud of but confidence and cockiness is a really fine line. I need to remind myself to be humble. Confident but humble.
Desire. It’s easy in today’s age to get swept up on the internet looking at all the pictures and videos of instagram models. As men on here we have all seen and know what I’m talking about. I’m not yet married but will be in October. I need to remember to love and honor my (soon to be) wife. (Matthew 5:29-30)
Last is patience. Sometimes I become inpatient waiting to see the plan but I need to trust the process.
So this is mine and I challenge all of you to admit your shortcomings out loud. I understand if you don’t want to on here but take a moment in the mirror and look yourself in the eye and say it. Saying it out loud will give you the power to hold yourself accountable.
Romans 3:23-24 “for all have sinned and fell short of the glory of god. And all are justified freely by his grace through the redemption that came by Jesus Christ.”
