I find myself often getting side tracked even on my ever important quests of life.
One that I have planned out, put in place contingent plans, and other safe falls.
I always end up needing to fight back to get on the right track, and hope I did not stray too far.
MANY MORE times when I have good intent, I ALWAYS need to check my ego.
John Mark Comer sums it up greatly.
“I would argue the desire to be great was put there by the Creator himself. After all, we’re made in his image.
The problem is this desire, which in its embryonic, innocent state is so, so right, is quickly warped and soiled and bent out of shape by the ego.
We devolve from a desire to be great to a desire to be thought of as great.
From a desire to serve the weak to a desire to be served by the weak.
From a desire to save the world to a desire to have it.”
