Ok, Ok I know. Damn near three months. I must be out of my damn mind, right? I’ll plead the fifth to that question. Anyway after being cussed out at least ten times by five different people and one very believable death threat, I figured it was time to update this thing. Before one of these fools I know decides to follow through and bust me upside my head, as they have so religiously threatened to do. You would think that the lack of entries would indicate that nothing remotely interesting has been happening in my life. But actually, I think that is why I haven’t had a chance to make updates. Things won’t stop happening in my life. It has been one thing after the other. Finish one project at work; something happens with a good friend or family member that requires your attention. Accomplish something in your personal life, and then things get crazy at work. Besides, I am finally in a grown up working relationship now, so making that working requires a lot of attention. You know how it goes sometimes life just happens. It just happens. …..Ok, ok! Damn it! That was a bunch bullshit and I know it. Just thought I might be able to fool you guys for a second. The truth of the matter is I just haven’t executed. So this blog has now been added to my execution list.
Several of my pastor’s recent sermons have been on execution. (www.sanechurch.org) Basically, it boiled down to thee key points:
1. Sometimes we know, we just know, we are meant for greatness. We’ve known it all our lives. Average just isn’t for us. My thought: That’s me. Could never tell me otherwise.
2. Write a plan how to achieve your destined greatness. My thought: Did that years ago.

3. Execute, finish, complete something EVERYDAY. My thought: Umm…hmmmm…guess I should get with that.
I, my darlings, am a professional at starting something and not fully completing it. Whether it’s unpacking my new apartment, attending my book club meetings or writing regularly on my blog; I hardly ever fully execute something. I mean, I would find every excuse in the book. I am tired. I didn’t have enough time in the day. I can’t work on X right now cause I need to get to Z. Then I started thinking, (well actually my pastor brought these to my attention) what am I tired from? I haven’t finished anything to day. I’ll rest when I have a reason to do so. How could I say there isn’t enough time in the day? God gave us 24 hours in a day, 1440 minutes. How could I not execute at least 1 thing in that time frame? Heck at the beginning of the bible he finished something EVERYDAY and then rested. And finally, I have no business starting something new when I haven’t completed the first thing. That is like jumping to the tenth chapter in the book and wondering why you’re confused. Chapter’s 1-9 were the preparation for understanding 10.
So folks my focus has been on execution. Setting a goal, and completely and correctly executing each step toward that goal. And thus far it has worked pretty darn well. But I have to credit my boyfriend for some of it. Each day we make sure the other has finished something, anything. Hey if your goal is to be great, you make sure you surround yourself with great people.
And as of this moment I am officially adding my blog to my weekly execution list. In other words, no more BS excuse for not writing and making entries.
