What takes me away from God? I can feel it early in the morning, when I want to wrap my thoughts around God and His holyiness but instead am caught up in the deadlines, responsibilities, etc. of the day. I see it at work to, instead of focusing on Christ-centered things, my mind drifts, and I end up getting angry about things that, frankly, aren't worth it. Here are some of them, and hopefully some solutions.
The oddball e-mail: Nothing worse than a request like a pdf, inquiry or random favor, right? What's the big deal? Why do I get upset about it? probably because it's something I think is a waste of my time, and therin lies the problem. When I'm at work, it is not my time. It's my employers time, and they are paying me for that. So if I get a random request, I should do them with no fever pitch in my mind. Every day I should write a list of tasks, and at the top should be "Help Whereever Asked."
Driving: Enough to write a book about. Here are my main problems. When I see a car coming up fast to my right or left, I automatically think they're about to get in front of me. This is not a big deal. Let them. So what if I miss a light? Thats one minute out of my day. Driving is simply a means of getting to a detination, not a reason to get angry at other people. I'm guilty of the same things others do to me on the road. I'd hope to lean more toward the best of each person than trivial things like driving.
Too much to do: I come up with all of these ideas and then get frustrated when I cant implement them. Why? I cant read every book I own in a few weeks and jot down notes for new books. I cant come up with the perfect novel on the first try. I should embrace the brainstorming without getting discouraged, but also stick to something before moving on. I'll save money that way.
