This past week, I’ve noticed within myself a tendency to say that things are “good enough.” When someone has given me an idea or a suggestion, I say no to it and justify why things are fine the way they are.
Today, I met with Mitch, the psychologist, and we chatted about the possibility of my meeting the criteria for ADHD. (I know, it’s shocking.) Anyways, he asked me about medication and my immediate reaction was no, I’m fine, I can manage it. (I am also sure some of you will beg to differ.) Whether or not I actually go through with that or not isn’t the point, but I’ve noticed that attitude within me this week.
At the end of the week, I’ve found myself asking, “Do I really want to change?” Life is pretty comfortable right now. I know what to expect. I know what to do. Sure, there are a few things I can tweak and do a bit differently, but do I really want to make any major changes? I’m not necessarily talking about life decisions, but changes within who I am and how I do things. I was asking one of the partners today about how she prays and I was just struck about how she prayed for every aspect of a particular situation. The how, what, where, and when; it was like the nitty gritty’s and everything was left before God. That’s a practice that takes discipline.
Do I really want to do that or is it simply good enough for me?
