Decision is almost always affected by emotion. No matter how much I say I want to do something, if there is no action it is because I don’t want to. Blame the inaction on everything—internal and external stress, health, natural disasters, end of the world, etc.. Somehow the heart dictates over the mind and makes up all kinds of reasons to justify it.
Someone said to me once, “If you’re late, apologize for being late. There is no need to give reasons.” To be responsible for my own action/inaction has got to be one of the hardest things to come to terms with.
Passion is required to get things done. And oh, there are so many responsibilities and chores that I’m not passionate about!
