She noticed my grunts of frustration as I struggled with the task at hand. She stopped me by touching my arm and gently stating "Work smart, not hard." She smiled and simply moved the object I struggled with.
Since that moment, I tried practicing that very statement. Sometimes I'd get lost and stray from that mindset, but instilling it into my life, over time, it really started to sink in. That little sweetheart was so right!
Could I ever "Work smart, not hard"? Is that a possibility?!
With hard work, can you just ease into working smart? Maybe!
I'm not where I want to be in life, but I am living the life I agreed to. My inner self has so many problems, I always get knocked off any horse I find. Taking chances is something I'm kind of bad at, I mean, I don't take chances! I usually only run on LAST MINUTE mindset, thats how I get things done...Last stinkin' minute!! When I fail (often) I beat myself up for so long, all that time wasted on pity parties when I could've been learning from my mistakes and stopped making stupid excuses for my actions (or lack there of).
I'm trying really hard to be what everyone needs, right now. Including myself! I need me to get my thumb out of my ass and do what needs to be done. The immature brat in me is actually cowering at the fact that I now have TONS of responsibilities out of no where...again. But, this time is different, I know what to do. Work. Like, real work. But, work smart...not hard! That means, no over thinking, just doing without over exertion! The applications are sent, now I wait impatiently :)
BTW, I've been taking a lot more chances since the house burned down...scary!
