Ever think about those things you always do? You know what I mean. You always tell yourself you wont do them. You always tell everyone that you do it. So if we know that it annoys us, why do we do it?
For example, I always tell myself that i'm going to commit to something, like writing a blog, every day. And then it's been 3 days, and then you think it's been too long, 2 months later and all of a sudden you can't go back because you broke the promise to yourself. Why?
Why do we force ourselves to believe that we can do something we can't? Why don't we just take baby steps?
We set stupid unrealistic goals but why?! Does it make us a better person? Are we supposed to live up to our own expectations? I don't understand.
Can I tell you something?
What if I told you that you don't need to live up to expectations? What if I told you that no matter what you do, you're still loved. There's still a man who is as perfect as anyone ever was who chose to die so that you can live a full life knowing that you're perfect. Knowing that nothing can separate you from the love of God. How amazing is that?!
