We can’t do it all, so we do most things poorly—on
a good day. And we’ve lived like this for so long
that we don’t even realize how very far we are
from reaching our potential!
Most times, we’re just reacting, as though we’re
being jerked to and fro by some gigantic remote-control device.
We’re trying desperately to keep one thing or other from crashing
and burning. And we’re doing well just to make sure the kids
are off to school wearing matching socks, and we don’t forget
the big proposal on the kitchen table after working on it most of
the night, and we’re getting most of our bills paid before they’re
30 days overdue.
Goal-setting? Forget about it. Attitude? Do you really want to
know? Happiness? Come on!
And what about managing our money and taking control of our
income? How’s that possible when we live paycheck to paycheck?
As for our relationships—who would know? We hardly see each
other or talk.
The signs of a life out of control may seem subtle: Your kids
are growing up before your eyes, yet you hardly know them; you
dread going to work at a job you’ve had for years; you want to
say “no” before you even hear the question because saying “yes”
means adding something to your plate.
Does any of this sound familiar? Is it normal to live a life out of
control? Does it have to be?
