doubt

I hate when I start doubting myself.  I was so excited to start my plans to become a fiscally responsible person but last night I started to doubt myself.  I know it was stupid and I shouldn't even dwell on such things.

I know doubts are the adversaries way to derail you from your intended goal.  I think all the opposition I have been dealing with is also a sure sign that I should press forward.  My plans aren't necessarily spiritual but they can lead to some real spiritual gains. 

For example, if I can trim my expenses, pay tithing and and fast offering I accomplished a spiritual goal.

If I can have a generous savings and emergency found, we can help fund our son's mission.

If we can get completely out of debt, live within our means then I can help fund many missions.  That is my dream.  To help fund many missions.  

  

Short term goals are all about the money, honey..but my long term goals are all spiritual

I need to stop doubting my ability and just press forward.  I know I have a long road ahead, but its doable and I can sacrifice now for gains later. 

wow, its been a while

I know I didn't check in for my weekly update, but well, I didn't do as much as I thought.
I sabotaged myself because I had two weeks of running around, not planning and so my to do list became a to don't list.
I guess I better stop making schedules and start learning more about planning my days and weeks.
I have appointments and other errands that spread out through the week.  I am going to learn to make all appointments on one day.  I did that for my children's check ups.  So some of them are going next Tuesday and others the following Tuesday.
As for my work from home job, I am only setting appointments for Thursday.  I want to leave Monday's and Friday's free in the AM.  Wednesdays are not free in the AM but all afternoon they are.  Friday's are free all day, Tuesdays (unless we have appointments) are usually free all day but evenings we have scouts.
I will then write out my schedule to fit into these times.
I joined a facebook group for fitness and health and I have to be accountable to them weekly as well.
So, my check in is on Friday.  I think I will make my check in on Friday here too.  EXCEPT this Friday I am going out of town and this weekend is packed, so I might check in tomorrow. :/
I am going to reread this post because I suffer from all 4 things that keep me from setting and following through with my goals.
Tomorrow is a new day, and a new opportunity for bettering myself.
