Get er' Done

     Discipline is not only a word that I could never spell, it has also been an idea whose understanding has eluded me for most of my life.  Before you judge me, please don't think me a women of little accomplishments.  I could give a long list of things that I can do or have achieved, but sadly, most of them did not come through discipline or hard work.  To be quite frank, I just happen to be good at a lot of things.  Now as cocky as that sounds, I promise, I have no intention of using this blog to boast.  Of the the 15,000+ things that I know how to do, I am disappointingly, a master of none.  Why?  I never knew what it meant to be disciplined.  All the talent in the world will get you nowhere if you lack it.  As Roy L. Smith (the author of the "Know Your Bible" series) so eloquently put it, "Discipline is the refining fire by which talent becomes ability". 
     I have learned over the past few years that I have wasted both my talents and my time by being lazy.  Its a hard swallow, but it was cathartic to say the the least.  I have made a conscious decision to "get my life together" and that starts with a fervent race to undue the past 29 years. I know I can't ever get that wasted time back, but I can change my future by deciding to get off my lazy ass and bridging the gap between my goals and accomplishment. The only bridge proven to last, is discipline. So that's it, I will keep everyone updated on my journey over the next few months. Peace out y'all. Im off to Get er' done. Everything, that is...
