I swear it's personal......

Some of us may become afraid of losing out on a particular opportunity if we don't commit.
It is true that we will lose out on certain opportunities if we are unwilling to commit.
We still need to weigh the commitment.
We still need to become clear about whether that commitment seems right for us.
If it isn't, we need to be direct and honest with others and ourselves.Be patient.
Do some soul searching.
Wait for a clear answer.

We need to make our commitments not in urgency or panic but in quiet confidence that what we are committing to is right for us.
If something within says no, find the courage to trust that voice.

This is not our last chance.
It is not the only opportunity we'll ever have.
Don't panic.
We don't have to commit to what isn't right for us, even if we try to tell ourselves it should be right for us and we should commit.
Often, we can trust our intuitive sense more than we can trust our intellect about commitments.
In the excitement of making a commitment and beginning, we may overlook the realities of the middle.
That is what we need to consider.
We don't have to commit out of urgency, impulsivity, or fear.
We are entitled to ask, Will this be good for me?
We are entitled to ask if this commitment feels right.

I'm pretty convinced it's the 'invasion of the Reading Fairies'!
Gotta tell ya, it's not every day that they all gang up on me and hit me over and over again on top of the head.
And I do want you to know-- I didn't toss ONE book during this 'moment'.
(But I'm pretty convinced the groans and mutterings were audible from the study.)

It's okay though. LOL
I'm almost betting these weren't all about MEMEME.
*nodding smuggly*
Fact is, I'm certain they delivered to the wrong house!
(g'head.......say it all together now "liar, liar, pants on fire!!") LOL
It's okay though.
I'm actually 'in the mood' to listen this morning.
NOT that it means I'll DO anything....
Afterall, I didn't toss the books!!
Sometimes I think I oughta get credit for what I don't do!!
(stay tuned for the reaction of wisepersoninmylife as I give him that tidbit of wisedom! LOLOL)

*waiting to be moved by those around* (previous post!)

*tripping up over it all, like the centipede*
