I'm A God Girl

Proverbial Girl (DAY 6)

PROVERBIAL GIRL:
WISDOM, VALUES, AND BEING FABULOUS

Day 6

LESSON:
A Proverbial Girl is consistent and refuses to give up.

One of my greatest challenges was starting something and not finishing it. Every year was going to be "THE YEAR" of getting in shape and losing weight, of improving ourselves one way or another. We all mean well when we first start out, but the real challenge comes when we have to be consistent in maintaining what we started.

The key to being consistent is planning ahead, counting up the cost (what am I getting myself into and what will I have to be willing to sacrifice), being determined and having a great support system to help you along the way.

"She worketh willingly with her hands."

There are two things a Proverbial Girl is not afraid to do: work hard and be consistent. When you have a goal and you believe in that goal, your actions to diligently work toward it will always bring you success. The Proverbial Girl also knows how important it is to surround herself with encouraging people who love and want to see her succeed in life.

Always remember, a Proverbial Girl is up for the challenge to be consistent in every part of her life because consistency helps her meet her goals.

LIVE IT OUT:

So, let's get real! What are you procrastinating to do? Make a new deadline. Divide the work by the number of days you have before your deadline. Ask a reliable friend to check on your process. Now get to work! Success is waiting.

Proverbs 31:12-13 NIV
She brings him good, not harm,
all the days of her life.
She selects wool and flax
and works with eager hands.

This is a lesson that him me mercilessly straight in the gut.

Procrastination is, I believe, my fatal flaw.

I am such a lazy bone. I keep on putting off things to do over and over again. I am good at making goals but horrible at keeping them. I just always want to do things later.

And it sucks. I don't feel good about my achievements for the day because I have none. I hate myself at the end of the day. But I never seem to care the following day. It's an exhausting cycle.

But now, I gotta work hard and consistently because I'm a proverbial girl, right?

Honestly, I just feel so bad about myself right now. I look back to the past year and realize that I could have done so much more if only I just got moving. I could have written more. I could have achieved more in my studies.

I want to hear from you guys. Are there any horrible experiences you had with procrastination? I can't be the only one, right? Please let me know.

But right now, I am resolved to live a fruitful life!
