I say too much. I can’t keep these entries brief. And because each entry must be an intended masterpiece I fail to write often, but I make up for this by writing too much when I do. In essence its just bad marketing. My wife writes little but often and she has a lot of readers, I write seldom and too much …
I find this same principle affecting other areas of my life as well; especially at work. I’m too available. Too involved. Too open with people. I’m too helpful to others. I try to do too much.
If absence makes the heart grow fonder, then I think I need to pull back and maybe people will start to appreciate me more. They sure don’t appreciate me now.
If it reads like I’m throwing a pity party then … it really is obvious isn’t it.
The biggest problem with throwing a pity party is that God always reminds you of people who have it much worse. And as I was reminded when I came home tonight I have so much to be thankful for, to concentrate on those sources of discouragement (lack of professional peer recognition) is to concentrate on the empty 10% of the glass.
I could go on, but the whole point of this entry would have been lost.
