Back to Work

In the education world, it's inevitable that on a yearly basis, I will question my validity in this environment. I think it has something to do with the fact that we have a good two months of vacation in the middle of the year. I get the chance to relax, spend time with family, and most importantly: see what I'm really made of as a man when I am my only accountability.

Its a good thing. I suppose. It's nice to reevaluate my life and see where I'm at in my different life goals. The purpose is not to make me feel bad about my inabilities, or my apparent laziness. The purpose is to encourage. The purpose is expose areas that require change. I don't like to be reminded of the needed change, cause change hurts. But change is necessary.

We all need to be reminded of our goals once in awhile. We are called to prosper and to 'become better in EVERY area of our life.'

My wife, Jennifer, has said to me that she feels uncomfortable with the word content. She says that to her, it implies that she is dormant, or accepting of where she is at, and therefore it holds the double standard that she is unwilling to try for better.

Today, I am wanting to break that double standard for me (because I feel the same as my wife).

It's not important to be content. It's more important to enjoy the process of growth!

Enjoy your life today :)
