A Study of My Ugly

It's not fun taking an honest look at my own shortcomings. Remembering major screw ups, uncovering personality flaws, and digging up shameful behavior - not the best weekend party plans. But you know what? That's the only way to make real change.

I'd rather ignore it and think it really doesn't matter ... But it does. It does when my wife feels unimportant because I'm awful at special occasions. It does when I waste days off and family time. It does when my bad habits catch up to me and effect everyone I love.

Time for some dirty work. Time to study my ugly.

Stuff You Know But Great To Hear Again

Wake early. Seek God. Work hard. Allocate time to the most important matters. Build lasting relationships. Invest in others. Write (not type) letters and mail (not email) them. Encourage. Avoid gossip. Meditate on Beauty. Put on an attitude of Gratitude. Smile.
