Today’s prevailing thought is up to us.

Will we be an example or a warning?

Not having a prevailing thought to guide and inspire us is someone’s fault.

Go have a talk with them if you are struggling to be organized enough to face the day full on.

Not gonna lie

Not gonna lie.

People say this with varying degrees of frequency.

You know, a figure of speech.

It usually is a prologue to some wonderful or some horrible situation that person is currently experiencing.

For example:

Not gonna lie, this has been a very busy Summer and the past few weeks, while amazing, have created a sense of overwhelm.

It’s the number one job to figure it out.

Your’s too.

Much like trying to lose weight, getting decently organized is a multi-year process that requires us to change many things.

Some changes are relatively small, like curbing souvenir purchases.

Some changes are painful, like purging things we saved but haven’t touched in 10, 20, or even 30 years.

The poster is funny, but worry is not.

That the birds of worry and care fly over your head, this you cannot change, but that they build nests in your hair, this you can prevent. – Chinese Proverb

Like anything else, effort, focus, discipline, coupled with the inevitable fear, frustration, and doubt will take us past where we are to a better place.

We know this.

Just because it’s hard doesn’t mean you can’t do it.
