Staying the Course

Staying the course can be a difficult one.

Keeping one's hand to the plow, as it were, is a tough task to navigate. Yet, persistence
and passion will see one through.

A man once told me he was angry and did not know why. He worked ninety hours weeks in a restaurant. He was unable to discover why he was "short" with his family and co-workers. He said he couldn't pray.

"Are you getting enough sleep," he was asked.

Five or six hours was the amount of rest each night as he emerged from bed by 6 am daily and off to the race it was.

Rest is essential for wellness and relationships.

The seeming successful man seemed surprised when he was questioned about his self-caring behavior.

Was he getting enought sleep?

Was he taking time for recreation?

Was he being still some each day?

If nothing changes, nothing changes and the same old results will surface.
