Oh Man!

That unsettling moment when . . . you realize the problem one of your children is having actually stems from your poor choices and not just theirs! I just had one of those gut-wrenching realizations during a discussion with one of my kids. My child is fully owning and processing that poor choice and now so am I.
My personal lack of discipline directly impacted my kid. Would he/she have made the same choice even if I was fully living the disciplined life I desire? Perhaps, but I am taking this nudge in my spirit as a real wake-up call to get some things in order and under control in my personal life. My personal disciplines have been lax at best.
The reality is that every choice, to do or not do something that I know I should or should not do, is critical and impacts not only my life and dreams, but those around me as well. I am not alone in the consequences of my choices.
This comes on the heels of my aha around the extra effort it takes to make a life extraordinary. If I wasn't sure which area needed a little extra attention, it is crystal clear now. I can't simply hope things get better. It is time to make a plan, set it in motion, and install accountability. There is much at stake.
Be Extraordinary!
