My precious baby had 3 vaccinations today, two she needed a shot in the thigh. As a parent sometimes it's hard to watch your baby get those shots even when you know it's good for them in the long run and over before you know it.
I think that vaccinations are a lot like discipline. It's hard to watch, go through, but it's good for you in the long run and over before you know it. I mean really life is only a vapor...and at times the trials in life seem daunting but in reality they are really over before we even know.
I'm trying to develop discipline. Honestly it's hard for me to be discipline because I procrastinate a lot. Sometimes it's because the task at hand seems too big to handle so I think to myself "Why bother.."
What horrible logic, it's like saying to Ellie's doctor "Most children in the U.S. don't get these diseases any more, so why bother?" Or saying to a car mechanic "My car's going to die someday so why bother changing the oil now?" Seriously, I don't say these kind of things to other people so why then do I say them to myself? Why am I the exception?
The truth is I am not the exception.
I am not the exception.
I need to treat myself and my life like I want a doctor to treat my daughter, or a mechanic to treat my car. Because my life, and what I want to do with it is not the exception to needing discipline.
