"Just Do It"

 I used to think Nike was awesome. I wanted the Nike swoosh on everything. I remember one time that I wanted a pair of shoes so bad that I bought the only ones they had left, even though they were way to small. I showed up to basketball camp that year with some rockin kicks. I think that was about all I had going for me because all I remember that day is how bad my feet hurt. As some men say their kidney stone experience was like being in labor I would have to say that day in camp I felt the women's pain of wearing high heels.

Hey Luke, you should start blogging again. Hey Luke, you should really start working out. There is a lot of good books you could be reading right now. How's that budget coming? What about your business?

Just Do It! Why is it so hard to just do things? Why do I push things for a later time? Why am I so good at justifying? I love the idea of doing a regular blog and working out on a consistent basis and so forth but some reason I have an incredibly hard time with just doing it. I know what I want in life and when I play it over in my head it makes sense and seems doable, but once I have to start taking action is where I fail. 

The phrase, "If you fail to plan than you plan to fail" has become so prevalent in my life lately. Life just happens and it happens really really fast. I wake up, have good intentions to workout, eat dinner, check facebook, good night babe I love you. Wait, what? It's bedtime?

There is a lot of stuff in my life I need to change and do better with. I do a lot of comparing myself to other men, husbands, fathers out there and I tell myself that I'm not so bad and sometimes I think to myself that my wife is pretty lucky to have a man like me and she should be really thankful (makes me feel like a dirtbag just typing that). And then it hits me. Why am I comparing myself to these other guys? I was created in the image of God, not man. He is who I need to be comparing myself to. My wife and son don't need a good worldly husband and father, they need a godly one! It's time I start comparing myself to the only perfect man that has ever and will ever walk this earth.

Just Do It!

I would love for you to keep me accountable. Feel free to yell it at me from time to time.
