No Buts About It

I want to be an and person not a but. Approaching life with possibilities and solutions not negatives that keep me from action. If I always come to a bump in the road looking at all the ‘why this won’t work’ or the buts keeps me from moving through my circumstances. Results not excuses. The buts added to the end stalls us but when we add an and to an idea it propels us toward a positive outcome. 

When I add my but I am not believing in myself or my ideas and essentially bailing before I even get started. No wonder I am not successful if even I didn’t believe in myself. My resolution this year needs to be stop being a BUT.

I can spend time with my mom AND spend time doing what I want and need to do.

I can write everyday AND do my Bible Study if I get up at 5:30.

I can spend time with friends AND keep our home in order.

I can take Mom on a trip in the RV AND spend time with family.

I can stay on KETO AND take 10,000 steps.

The AND makes me set up a plan to succeed.

A BUT lets me off the hook because it seems impossible.

AND makes it possible because of me and my attitude regardless of the task or what I am facing.

In Him,

Joyful
