Just my mind, thinking again....

The purpose of a man's heart are deep waters, but a man of understanding draws them out.  Proverbs 20:5

Lately it seems I've been doing some serious pondering. Life in general.  Lessons, still learning them from day to day.  2Peter 1:12 says "So I will always remind you of these things, even though you know them and are firmly established in the truth you now have"  Powerful stuff huh.  The question was once asked Who do you want to be-the critic in the stands or the man in the arena?  I've been thinking about how I've been living lately.  Thinking about what holds me back.  Sometimes I think it's just me holding myself back.  I don't want to be the critic and tell someone how they or what was done wrong.  I want to be in the arena.  I want a worthy cause.  I want to believe in myself.  I have talents that I need to dare to believe in and go after. Seems so many times I find distractions to keep me away from going after the things in life I know I need to strive for.  I'm a thinker, sometimes I can't sleep for my head keeps going long after I lie down to rest.  I want a stronger mind, I want a healthier body.  It's all up to me.  Maybe it's time for me to sit down and make a list.
