On that note of procrastinating - how often do I procrastinate or make excuses by saying I'm busy with something else? (read that post. It's good.)

Oh, what could I be missing because tell my little brother that I'm "too busy?"

True Perseverance.

If you still haven't checked out Jon Acuff's blog, you need to. Seriously. Look, I made half of that sentence a link so you wouldn't miss it.

This post in particular is really good - and here's an excerpt of it.

"When I focused on one approach...things changed. When I made a commitment and focused on keeping it, things changed. When I didn’t give up and change course the first day or the 15th day or the 30th day, things changed.

Sometimes we have a hard time focusing on things. There are so many different ways to accomplish a goal. So many ways to write a book or record a song or start a business or do anything that really matters to us. And when we hit a roadblock with one approach, it’s tempting to look for another.

When you find yourself in that situation, and you will, wait.

Pause.

Don’t give up on what you’re working on."
