How To Change Your Life In 10 Minutes

There are two things I know to be true: (1) there are things that need to happen in my life, and (2) I never seem to have enough time. 

I need to read more. I need to clean the house. I need to work. I need to play with my kids. I need to cook dinner. I need to pack lunches. I need to build my relationship with my husband. I need to exercise. There are so many things that need to happen in our lives yet I never seem to have enough time. I find myself at the end of day regretting the things that I never made happen during the day and committing to make them happen the next day.

Each month I have the privilege to share on a website called Ungrind. It's a site for women of all ages and stages of life to find encouragement. Today's post comes from a honest and vulnerable place. It's something that I have wrestled with for quite some time. I want to share it with you because I know we walk this journey together. You can read the post here.

The End in Mind

I don't know if you are like me, but I tend to be overwhelmed by things or people or circumstances when I am smack dab in the middle of it. It kind of feels like when I was a kid and would put my face up to the tv screen--everything was blurry. I couldn't recognize an image on the screen. However, when I stepped back, I could see the entire picture clearly. Being in the middle of raising kids feels a lot of like staring up close to a tv screen. And one thing I've learned is that we need to step back and have the end in mind... I'm talking about that today over at Ungrind.
