Never too late - a work of growth in progress.


Being responsible to others, taking work seriously, committing and meeting deadlines - these are easier for me than taking responsibility for myself.
Were I my friend, my boss, or my student for example, I would be taking far better care than I do of just me. I am not unique in this, I know.
My finances, my food, my exercise and my paperwork - ugh what an irresponsible person takes care of these. As though waiting for someone else to manage them better for me, to take over.

The outcome of years of living in defense mode,living up to expectations and trying to appease the 'everyone' God instead of staking a claim on who I can be, are not going to be resolved completely.

But its never too late to become the person you want to be.

In some areas I am already on my way. In others - I am hereby committing to MYSELF as my friend, my boss, my student and my reliable one and only self - to do unto myelf as I would unto others.
