Knowledge
I need to vent: I have been thinking... and way too early I might add for the first day of Thanksgiving break... why am I not sleeping????? Knowledge is a Catch 22.... did you ever realize that? It's like if you don't learn or read, you never know what your missing. What you don't know doesn't hurt you. But, if you get an itch to learn, like I am right now about nutrition and your bodies... a gift for us to learn to use and treat well, and gain knowledge... you take in everything you can get, and before long, man, you never realized how much there is out there to draw your information from, and then, just how much information there actually is out there! Then, in inferiority begins to set in. You then, begin to realize who is in control here. Not you. But, if you want to learn, you know who can guide you, help you to realize what's the good stuff and what's the bad stuff... sifting through. But, then once you gain all this knowledge and it's committed to memory, is it ok for it to just stay there? Why not??!! I just wanted to know... I didn't mean to actually want to do it! Now what? I know what is better and what is really bad, because I wanted to know in the beginning. I am making little changes with my self, but all the good and bad stuff I now know is stuck in my brain and I feel like I have to hold myself to the higher law. Once I know more, I feel I must do. Otherwise, I am feeling very guilty, and extremely overwhelmed by all that is out there for good! How is it possible to do all this?

You said it yourself...by making little changes! You have heard Rome wasn't built in a day...we don't change in a day either! I hope you start sleeping soon. If not I can give you some hints because I too have suffered from insomnia.
ReplyDeleteOur goals are like a Bullseye..or a Target....
ReplyDeleteand everyday, as long as we are shooting in that direction, we are on the right track!
This is true with the Gospel and the rest of the things we are "aiming" for in this life.
All we can do is set our sights on the things that are important to us and each day we will get closer and closer to our Bullseye.
The Savior told us we don't have to be perfect...we just have to want to be ...
The rest comes a little at a time!
Spirituality, Health, Being a Great Mom...
all apply to this principle...
Keep aiming in the right direction and your golden!
