Perserverence vs. Quitting


"A jug fills drop by drop." - Buddha

"Life is not easy for any of us. But what of that? We must have perseverance and above all confidence in ourselves. We must believe that we are gifted for something and that this thing must be attained". - Marie Curie

Quitting is so tempting at times! It takes a lot of motivation and energy to persevere! I am consciously trying to correct my sleep schedule issues and yesterday marked three days of waking at a reasonable hour and going to bed early enough to assure a full night's sleep. Then, today I backslide.

Went to bed at 2AM and slept until 1:15PM frustrated and feeling as though I'm behind the eight ball again. What does it take to get on track and stay there? I will do my best to get right back to correcting my sleep patterns. I don't want to give up. I really don't know why I am having such a hard time with self-regulation and organization. It seems like a never ending battle. If I take time out from this constant push to get life in order, I start feeling like I'm drowning again. I don't know what the answer is, but I have to figure it out!

I want to move on to things that make living worthwhile. Constant efforts to get life in order do not fill the bill. Guess I will stop writing for now and try to accomplish something today before time to go back to bed. This seems to be a treadmill rather than life. Maybe the treadmill is life?
