this week i have become acutely aware of the struggles of the mind.
whenever i think about mental toughness, i usually think about working out, exercise and sporting events. running the last mile, pushing through the brick wall, gutting it out...
but recently it has been painfully associated to near every aspect of daily life.
how well can i reign in my wandering mind and focus on the task at hand?
how well can i hone in and knock things out?
true grit.
not very well, i have found.
(for instance - writing this post instead of doing hw)
i need to exercise my mental muscles. for realz.
how do you convince yourself of the importance of the mundane tasks?
it is easy to feel as though the boring stuff is unimportant and shouldn't require anymore time or energy than needed. but i would like to think of myself as a hustler. i would like to think that i can get it done, no matter how big or how small. no matter what the task or obstacle, i want to be a woman who just does it.
i know the desires God has placed on my heart. i know that i have a thirst for adventure and movement that God has given me. a vision for the bigger picture. but i also have confident hope that those things will happen in time.
right now i have been given the role of student. i have obligations to pay off debt and so i must work. though these aren't my first choices - they are my responsibility. if i can do those things, how much more will i be successful doing the big things.
i want to be known as a champ.
as someone to be counted on.
as someone who has a will and a way.
looked up to.
motivated.
inspiring.
hustle for Jesus.
