“…idleness leads to counterproductive lifestyles and behavior potentially destructive to themselves and our communities.” ~Earl G. Graves, Sr.
Recently while reading the June issue of Black Enterprise Magazine, I came across an article titled “Building A Better Life Starts With A Plan.” The article gave me tremendous insight because I had to take a better look at myself and realize I might be an idle person!
I do take the time and help in the community as much as I can. By doing for others, and not asking for ANYTHING in return, I feel that I am a major contributor. Reading the article made me realize as far as my personal accomplishments, I have been idle.
My personal ethics include being on time, doing what I say I am going to do and helping others. When it comes to doing for Felicia, I put off my own goals and aspirations. Many that know me often hear me say “No matter what I do, it is seems like it is not good enough,” or “Well I guess this was not the time or day to ask anyone for anything.”
Having this type of idle thinking has kept me from achieving most of my goals I need to be and should have already taken care of. It use to seem kind of silly to me to write down each and everything you have to do, the time frame you have to do it in and how long it should take you do each task. When I was working for a major insurance company, production is what they called it and if I didn’t do it (and correctly) it would highly effect my bonuses and pay increases.
So beginning today I must put myself on production in order to not be the idle person I have become and work on these goals I have put off, beginning with doing my hair :)
This is my insight for you and I look forward to telling you how many goals I have.
Continued SUCCESS
